We've all heard the saying, "If it's icky, sticky, brown, and not yours, don't touch it." But let's face reality, in EMS, we often don't have the luxury of choice. Patients deteriorate, wound dressings must be changed, and sick individuals call 9-1-1. We administer airway adjuncts and medications that increase our exposure to aerosolized particles—particles that seem to have an uncanny ability to travel impressive distances and head straight for our faces at the speed of a sneeze. So, how can...

Well, this one sure caught our attention. Shaun Pitts and Dr. Travis Dierks dive into the recent article published in The New Yorker: "The Hidden Harms of CPR" by Sunita Puri.This raises the ethical question, should EMS be doing CPR on patients that are VERY unlikely to survive?

Link to artic...

Thought biases, also known as cognitive biases, refer to systematic errors in thinking that can influence our decision-making processes and judgments. Understanding these biases is essential for EMS professionals as it helps in recognizing and mitigating potential errors in critical situations. Understanding these biases can help EMS professionals be more aware of their own thinking processes and make more informed decisions. By continuously learning about thought biases and engaging in criti...
"Train like your life depends on it. You don't rise to the occasion, you fall to the level of your training. Muscle memory. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast." I am sure we all have heard these things yelled across the drill ground, said in an AAR after a critical call, or even muttered by our mentors. So what does it mean? Is it a mindset, or science? Ryan and I do our best at talking about both the mindset and the science of training how and why we should train in certain ways. If you are a...
