Episode 62
Which comes first epinephrine or airway? Out of hospital cardiac arrests involve critical and often complex decisions with sequence and timing of various procedure. What should you prioritize? We examine the nuances of advanced interventions, such as epinephrine and advanced airway placement, through the lens of recent studies, including a notable piece of research published recently in JAMA Network Open. Take a deep dive into the practicalities and philosophies that underpin prehospital cardiac arrest management, emphasizing the significance of basic life support skills and the role of advanced techniques in the pre-hospital setting. This episode engages, educates, and challenges EMS providers on the best practices that could potentially save lives during those critical first minutes of a cardiac emergency.
