Episodes

  1. Esophageal intubation (purposely)

    Sounds crazy ... right? Well, there might be a few situations where it's actually beneficial ... when utilized cautiously and appropriate (of course).

  2. EMS 3I

    A brief breakdown of the EMS 3i initiative being presented through the EMS Director publication.

  3. Controversy, leading to progress

    Change can be good...controversy can be good (especially when they lead to progress).

  4. 3 "Things" for the New Year

    Somewhat of a New Years' resolution...tackle 2019 differently, looking at it from another angle, and boldly.

  5. Intubation Challenge

    Intubate early...intubate often. If it's low-frequency (now) because of low call volumes, then why not force it to be high-frequency through regular training?

  6. ROI, Choices, and Value Optimization in EMS

    We're asked to do a lot...and we're expected to do a lot as EMS administrators...so why not utilize technology to help us capitalize on ROI and value optimization in EMS. After all, "free" doesn't necessarily mean there isn't some sort of "cost"...and really, you get what you pay for!

  7. Be Careful What You Ask For...

    3 "crystal ball" predictions...or hurdles...that I think we'll face as we fight for "provider" and "professional" status.

  8. Stepping Out of an Admin Role

    Can you put aside what you know and believe and "just" be a paramedic?

  9. UHU...or the "Weighted" UHU...

    The UHU is quite objective...but our "average" call isn't...it's subjective. So, why not weight the value (appropriately)?

  10. "If you've seen one EMS system..."

    "If you've seen one EMS system...then you've seen one EMS system." Is that the truth behind our industry...or is it our excuse?

  11. Tools of the Trade

    Using what works for you..."kit-izing" your equipment...using reference charts...all in an effort to make your job easier (or at least less stressful).

  12. Challenges in EMS

    The reality of EMS, retention (and recruitment), and professional development...all packed into one episode!

  13. Writing Entrance/Promotional Exams

    Do you write your entrance/promotional exams internally, or hire someone from the outside (a professional) to write them for you? In this episode, we'll discuss some of the components of a well-written exam, as well as some of the pitfalls to avoid.

  14. PEA is NOT a rhythm...

    That's right...PEA is NOT rhythm!

  15. Slept through a call...

    What would you do as an EMS company officer if a crew member of yours slept through a call? Should you leave him/her behind and discipline afterwards? Or, do you go to get sleeping beauty to have him/her join you?

  16. Riding the Seat

    3 simple rules as a Company Officer

  17. Cardiac Benchmarks

    FMC2ECG, D2B, FMC2B...do you know your times?

  18. EMS Supervisors

    Briefly discussing operations, administration, and response as an EMS Supervisor.

  19. Succession Planning in EMS

    What does your succession plan look like (do you have one)?

  20. What can EMS adopt/abandon from Fire?

    Concepts that we can adopt from the fire service, and others that we can abandon (or at least deviate from).
