In this episode of 'Talking Shift,' the host welcomes Dr. Chris Doty, an important figure in emergency medicine, to discuss his journey and the current state of the specialty. Dr. Doty reflects on a crisis from two years ago where a significant number of emergency medicine residency spots went unmatched, but more recent data shows improvement. They explore changes in residency program requirements, particularly the potential shift from three-year to four-year programs, and the implications of such modifications. The conversation also touches on the impact of the pandemic on the perception and reality of working in emergency medicine, the financial pressures of medical education, and the trend towards shorter, more manageable training periods. Additionally, they discuss fellowships, emerging trends, and the critical issue of burnout, especially highlighted during the pandemic. Dr. Doty emphasizes the importance of choosing the right residency program and the vital need for systemic changes to support healthcare professionals better.

In this episode, Dr. Steven Haywood shares how end-tidal CO2 (ETCO2) can change the game in managing cardiac arrest patients. Recorded at the ResusX: ReUnion conference, Dr. Haywood explains the crucial role of ETCO2 in monitoring chest compressions and preventing unrecognized intubation failures. He highlights how this simple tool can help you improve patient outcomes by fine-tuning resuscitation efforts and detecting obstructive shock. This episode is a must-listen if you want to enhance your cardiac arrest management strategies!

In this episode, Dr. Eddy Gutierrez dives into the world of peripheral vasopressors, presenting a case for their use over traditional central lines. Recorded at the ResusX: ReWired conference, Dr. Gutierrez discusses the benefits of peripheral vasopressors, including reduced patient morbidity and faster hemodynamic stabilization. He offers practical advice on the best practices for placing peripheral IVs, optimal dosing, and protocols to ensure safety. Additionally, Dr. Gutierrez provides essential tips for managing extravasation injuries, making this episode a must-listen for healthcare professionals aiming to enhance their emergency care techniques.

In this episode, Dr. Salim Rezaie reveals groundbreaking findings from the first-ever randomized clinical trial comparing Delayed Sequence Intubation (DSI) and Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI). Discover why DSI significantly outperforms RSI in reducing peri-intubation hypoxemia among agitated trauma patients. Dr. Rezaie dives into the study's methodology, key outcomes, and practical implications, highlighting how DSI can enhance patient safety and intubation success rates. With compelling data and expert insights, this episode is a must-listen for emergency medicine professionals seeking to optimize their intubation strategies and improve patient care.

In out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, time is life, and the race to restore circulation is on. But what's faster or better: intravenous (IV) or intraosseous (IO) access? A new study puts this long-standing debate to the test—and the results may surprise you.

In this episode, we break down the findings from nearly 1,500 cardiac arrest cases. Spoiler: the data suggests it's not how you get access that matters—it's that you start resuscitation fast. Tune in to find out why this could streamline emergency protocols and change how we approach prehospital care.
