In this episode of The FlightBridgeED Podcast, Eric takes a few minutes to delve into an intriguing aspect of the paralytics we carry out on every flight.

Are some of these medications doing more harm than we realize? What are the potential problems with the tried-and-true medications we are comfortable with, and that have a long history with providers?

In this episode of The FlightBridgED Podcast, Eric and Dave Olvera carve out some time while they are on the road to talk about airway management preparation strategies. Dave has invested many years of his professional career investigating, and researching, among other important projects, how to best optimize intubation success. For as long as I can remember, we have used difficult airway predictors in our field practice, such as LEMON(S), to help prepare for eventualities when placing an endotracheal tube. Dave and his colleagues have determined that those predictors are great, but may not be as applicable to field intubations. With mountains of research at hand the HEAVEN criteria was created, along with best-practice strategies for increasing intubation success in an ever-changing environment. Join us for this episode as Eric and Dave discuss HEAVEN criteria and more! Download, rate, and review wherever you get your podcast. Each review is so important to our success.

When we learn new concepts, we often find ourselves joining the bandwagon, or joining the misfits. Not all concepts are grounded in fact, and those that are grounded in fact should have their source evaluated before taking it as gospel.

While safety in, and around the aircraft is of paramount importance it is also equally important to train for what happens when safety turns into survival. We have all attended survival training in some form, or fashion. How was your experience? If you’re like most, you unfortunately get run through a quick day of training just to check the box. In the face of life, and death there is certainly a box waiting for you to check, but why not choose to survive? You are choosing life when you demand serious, quality survival training. Join us in this episode as we talk with Chief Flight Nurse, Deb Witte, and Chief Flight Paramedic, Nathan Morreale, from AirMed at the University of Utah Health to talk about a program they developed to teach, test, and overcome in an emergency survival situation.
