In this episode, we dive into Congenital Heart Defects Part 3 of 3. In this podcast, we will review tricuspid atresia and hypoplastic left heart. Despite these patients often being transported by NICU teams, there are cases of congenital heart defects that have been undiagnosed and something you may encounter on-scene fights that decompensate once the PDA has closed. This places the care in the pre-hospital provider's hands and brings forth a high-stress case that can be overwhelming for most. Couple this with the high quantity of questions seen on all advanced certification exams and it is a must that we review these congenital heart defects.

Throughout the course of modern medicine, old methods fall as new ones emerge safer, more reliable, better for patient outcomes, and more. Sims et al., Says this: "Resuscitation strategies that decrease the need for transfusions without increasing complications, therefore, would represent a clinically important innovation". Research is deep and results are shared throughout the world. One of the fastest-growing, most industry-related sections of medicine today is that of resuscitation. In this episode of The FlightBridgeED Podcast, the team of Dr. Jeff Jarvis and Mike Verkest from the highly-rated EMS LightHouse Project Podcast dissect the actual study from a statistical analysis standpoint. Is the data as good as it seems? Is it statistically significant? Is there a place for vasopressin administration early in the resuscitation phase within the realm of trauma-induced massive hemorrhage? Join them and find out!
