Previous Episode

Airway Management with Scott Hardy (part 1)
Where better to start than with airway management?
In this episode I speak to Scott Hardy. Scott is a Critical Care Paramedic and medical educator with over ten years experience in the speciality. He has a professional interest in airway management and teaches on the Difficult Airway Course.
We actually ended up chatting for a bit longer than expected so I've broken the episode down into two parts. In this first part we spoke about the goal of airway management and ways we can maximise our success.
I really hope you enjoy the episode. Please do subscribe, leave us a quick review, and feel free to get in touch with any comments, opinions, or feedback. Cheers!

Next Episode

COVID-19 in Pre-hospital Critical Care
Episode three already! And a bit of a longer one this time...
In a bit of a one-off, I got in touch with Ben Paul, student Critical Care Paramedic and Senior Lecturer, about COVID-19 in pre-hospital critical care. You're probably sick of hearing about it, but on the off-chance you're not we put together this episode to try and provide some clarity to those of us working outside of hospital.
To be clear... Neither of us are experts and clearly the knowledge of COVID-19 is changing daily but we have managed to muddle through the wealth of literature out there to bring a summary of what we think is useful for people to know. Our discussion encompassed R-nought, pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment of respiratory failure and OHCA, and (of course) PPE.
Hopefully you find this useful. And if you do, please subscribe / rate / share - you know the drill! Thanks,
