Prehospital Obstetrics with Dr. Glenn Posner
59m · PublishedObstetrics. Arguably one of the scarier and uncomfortable things we do as paramedics, at least that’s what I think.
If you’re looking for a way to make this tremendously stressful call just a little bit easier, then I think you’ve come to the right spot.
On this engaging episode of Critical Levels, we’re talking with Dr. Glenn Posner about the prehospital OB assessment, the uncomplicated birth, and how to handle some of the more complicated presentations in the field.
Stroke with Dr. Grant Stotts
1h 2m · PublishedThe American Heart Association (AHA) and the American Stroke Association (ASA), characterizes stroke as a neurological deficit attributed to an acute focal injury of the central nervous system (CNS) by a vascular cause, including cerebral infarction, intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). For simplicity though, it can be umbrellaed into either ischemic or hemorrhagic in nature.
The early detection of stroke is paramount for patient care and positive outcomes. Obviously, this begins with the lay public and early activation of 911, but it’s important for paramedics to properly and accurately diagnose and transport to definitive care.
Join us as we chat with Dr. Grant Stotts to discuss all things in the prehospital world of stroke: What is a stroke? How do we diagnose it prehospitally? How should we be treating them? What happens once we get to the ED?
