Wilderness Medicine - Matt Smith
On this month's episode, we chat with Matt Smith about wilderness medicine.
As we shift from a high resource to a low resourcesetting, there are 3 main concepts to consider:
- Ideal to real
- High risk to low risk
- Stable to unstable
These concepts are important as we shift our practice and prepare ourselves.
For this patient context, we need to focus on the things we can't replace, and learn to manage that.
Our approach to these patients need to be algorithmic, and focus on doing the basics well. Two mnemonics(H-E-M-P; A-B-C-D-E) are presented to help with our approach.
Lastly, hypothermia assessment and managementis discussed.
Episode 35 - ACS - Dr. Jesse McLaren
On this month’s episode, we discuss acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with Dr. Jess McLaren
We define ACS, we cover pathophysiology, and some common causes. Importantly we discuss the assessment of this patient population - paying attending to both objective and subjectives signs and symptoms. We spend some time talking about electrocardiograms, and perhaps most importantly, we chat about the management of this patient.
