This week, in what might be the funniest episode yet, Molly and Emese are joined by co-stars Amy Schumer and Brianne Howey. They get candid about motherhood, career evolution, and their new film, Kinda Pregnant —which unexpectedly led to Amy’s latest health discovery. Amy opens up about how public criticism led her to uncover her Cushing syndrome diagnosis, what it’s like to navigate comedy and Hollywood as a mom, and the importance of sharing birth stories without shame. Brianne shares how becoming a mother has shifted her perspective on work, how Ginny & Georgia ’s Georgia Miller compares to real-life parenting, and the power of female friendships in the industry. We also go behind the scenes of their new Netflix film, Kinda Pregnant —how Molly first got the script, why Amy and Brianne were drawn to the project, and what it means for women today. Plus, they reflect on their early career struggles, the moment they knew they “made it,” and how motherhood has reshaped their ambitions. From career highs to personal challenges, this episode is raw, funny, and packed with insights.

Paramedic training is over, you’re in the front seat now. Whether day 1 or day 1,000 you can’t shake the fear you’re underprepared. You were taught to systematically decide if A... do B. But what if “A” wasn’t in the book? The truth is each emergency call is too unique to teach the right response to every situation. We need to go beyond algorithmic thinking and understand deeper principles, the WHY behind the algorithm. When every decision counts you want to rely on a framework that will guide you when things don’t make sense. EMS cast is your resource to build that framework. Through discussions with experts, review of evidence-based best practices, and real-world case studies we teach you one step past what you learned in paramedic school. But all of this advanced education is connected back to the guiding principles that answer the question- “at the end of the day, what actually matters to the patient I have in front of me?” Our mission is to elevate your practice and help you improve patient outcomes in every emergency situation. You may not feel ready, you may not feel like you know enough, but by understanding the guiding principles of emergency medicine you can become an expert EMS clinician. Because what you do matters.

Syncope is a symptom, not a diagnosis. Often it's a symptom of a benign etiology but it can indicate a life-threatening condition. So how do we distinguish between the two? We dive into the complex topic of syncope with guest Matt Mendes. We discuss the importance of recognizing syncope, differentiating it from seizures, and identifying who are the high-risk patients and why. The episode covers the guiding principles syncope- a good history, physical exam findings, and the ECG.

You’ve looked at other paramedic continuing education resources but it’s the same basic material they taught you in school. There’s more you need to know, or you might miss something, someone might get hurt, or worse someone might die. You don’t feel ready. Your goal is to control the chaos. To become an expert in the field of prehospital medicine. And this is all driven by the desire to be there for someone on the worst day of their life. To change an outcome that would have otherwise been catastrophic if you weren’t there. There’s no resource for the practicing paramedic to plug the holes that were left behind by paramedic school. Everything seems stuck in basic algorithms of “A” then “do B” but what do you do when "A” wasn’t in the book. We need to get away from the algorithmic thinking and instead shift to understanding the principles behind WHY if A then B. The truth is, you can’t learn it all. Emergency Medicine includes too many pathologies and 911 calls are too unique and chaotic to know the answer to every situation. Instead of trying to learn every answer to every call, you need guiding principles for your knowledge to stand on. If you build these principles they become the foundation for every call no matter the complaint, for every situation, no matter the chaos surrounding you. If you have the foundation you can be stable when the storm comes. You can know when to push forward or when to change course. And then each additional piece of advanced content that you learn can be added to that foundation to build on, because mastery is not a destination, it’s a journey and the journey never ends. We are your hosts, Ross Orpet & Will Berry and this is EMS Cast. Come on this journey with us to mastering emergency medicine. We will cover topics in more depth than you learned in paramedic school, we will teach one step further and talk about what will happen to that patient in the Emergency Department after you drop them off. And we will connect all of this back to the principles that will guide you not just on this call but on all the calls. These principles will allow you to answer the question, at the end of the day, what’s really important to me, the paramedic, in the field, in that moment. You may not feel ready, you may not feel like you know enough, but you can understand the principles and that will make all the difference. Because what you do matters.…

This is Part 2. Derek, an experienced clinician in burn care, joins us to delve into the intricacies and challenges of treating burn patients. This discussion provides valuable insights into the unique aspects of burn injuries, the importance of a comprehensive assessment, and the latest trends in burn treatment. Enter to Win a FREE Pair of Frontline Optics Sunglasses EMScast15 for 15% Off Frontline Optics Sunglasses Blog post- The Critically Burned Patient Key Topics Covered Complexity of Burn Injuries: Derek begins by explaining why burn patients require a unique approach compared to other trauma patients. He highlights the potential for burns to mask other critical injuries, underscoring the necessity of a thorough and trauma-informed initial assessment. The 'Big Three' Considerations: The conversation shifts to what Derek refers to as the "big three" — polytrauma, airway loss, and inhalation injuries — which are crucial early considerations in burn care. He stresses the importance of recognizing these potentially life-threatening conditions alongside the burn injury itself. Fluid Resuscitation: A significant portion of the discussion is dedicated to fluid resuscitation, a critical aspect of burn care. Derek talks about the Parkland formula for calculating fluid needs based on the total body surface area affected by burns but a better simpler method is- 500 ml/hr for an adult (<13 yo) 250 ml/hr for a young kid (6-13 yo) 125 ml/hr for a child (<5 yo) Pain Management and Ethical Concerns: Derek addresses the ethical and practical aspects of pain management in burn victims. Effective pain control not only improves patient comfort but also aids in overall patient management and long term healing, making it a critical component of the initial response. Assessment Tools and Techniques: Various assessment tools such as the Rule of Nines and the Palmer Method are discussed. Derek explains their applications and limitations, emphasizing that while these tools are helpful for initial assessments, more detailed evaluations are typically conducted at specialized burn centers. A link from ABA that may be helpful: https://ameriburn.org/resources/burnreferral/ Includes brief overview of severity/depth (with diagrams, not pictures), Rule of Nines & Palmar Method, plus a link for ABA referral criteria.

Overcoming Fear in Neonatal Resuscitation: A Step-by-Step Guide Enter to Win a FREE Pair of Frontline Optics Sunglasses EMScast15 for 15% Off Frontline Optics Sunglasses Blog post: Neonatal Resuscitation Introduction: Welcome to another episode of EMScast, where high-level education meets real-world emergency medical scenarios. Today, we have Dr. Avery MacKenzie, an ER physician from Southwest Colorado, joining us to discuss a topic that often induces stress – neonatal resuscitation. Dr. MacKenzie shares her experiences and insights into handling neonatal emergencies in rural settings. Summary: Dr. MacKenzie opens the episode by acknowledging the inherent fear associated with neonatal resuscitation, especially in rural emergency departments where one might be the sole provider. She emphasizes that despite the fear, the process is not hard, and providers already possess the necessary skills. Key Takeaways: 1. **Facing the Fear:** - Dr. MacKenzie encourages listeners to remember that while neonatal resuscitation may seem intimidating, the skills required are well within their expertise. 2. **Algorithm Overview:** - The neonatal resuscitation algorithm is simplified into manageable steps, beginning with stimulating, warming, and drying the baby for the first 30 seconds. - The next 30 seconds involve providing positive pressure ventilation to initiate breathing. - Monitoring the heart rate is crucial, and if it remains below 100, providers should focus on correcting ventilation strategies. 3. **Initial Assessment:** - Dr. MacKenzie introduces a simple three-question assessment for determining the need for resuscitation: term gestation, good muscle tone, and respiratory effort. 4. **Positive Pressure Ventilation:** - The trigger for initiating positive pressure ventilation is if the heart rate is less than 100 or the baby is apneic or gasping. - The emphasis is on adequate ventilation, and adjustments, such as using the MR. SOPA mnemonic, can be made to improve ventilation. 5. **Advanced Airway Considerations:** - While advanced airways, such as intubation, are possible, Dr. MacKenzie highlights that pre-hospital protocols may favor supraglottic airways due to the challenging nature of neonatal intubation and the need to limit pauses in oxygenation and respiratory support. 6. **Continued Support:** - The algorithm emphasizes a continuous loop of assessment, correction, and reassessment, with the goal of maintaining the baby's heart rate above 100. Conclusion: Dr. MacKenzie wraps up the episode by reassuring providers that familiarity with the neonatal resuscitation algorithm and periodic mental reviews can alleviate the fear associated with these critical situations. The key is to focus on what providers already know and apply those skills with confidence.…

Dr. Nik Matsler is back to discuss the treatment of patients with crush injuries and crush syndrome. Dr. Matsler's insight as an emergency physician and a toxicologist are put to work helping us understand the pathophysiology of crush related injuries. We also try to discuss very practical approaches to these situations which are complex. No two crush injuries will present the same. Many variables contribute to the presentation of these patients. Duration of crush, amount of force applied, the size of the body part crushed, all play a role. There is much EMS folklore about treating these patients prophylactically in order to stave off deadly arrhythmia. Does this work? What treatments matter for these patients? Paramedics and EMS are the first line of care for these patients. How can you give them the best chance of survival? This episode topic was submitted by a listener!

We delve into the high-stakes world of postpartum hemorrhage management with the esteemed Dr. Maria Moreira. Joins us to demystify the management of postpartum hemorrhage in the pre-hospital setting. Dr. Moreira presents a systematic approach to intervention. Learn about the four T's of postpartum hemorrhage and on-field strategies like tranexamic acid and uterotonic administration. Dr. Moreira guides us through a concise roadmap for effective pre-hospital care. Tune in for critical insights and be prepared for any obstetric emergency! Enter to Win a FREE Pair of Frontline Optics Sunglasses EMScast15 for 15% Off Frontline Optics Sunglasses Episode Summary: Understanding Postpartum Hemorrhage: Postpartum hemorrhage, or excessive bleeding after childbirth, is a significant concern, occurring in approximately 1-5% of deliveries. The mortality rate associated with postpartum hemorrhage is around 2%, but this can vary globally. Some countries experience mortality rates as high as 20%. Additionally, there's a 10-15% risk of recurrence in subsequent pregnancies, emphasizing the importance of understanding and addressing this issue. Physiological Changes and Risks: Pregnancy induces significant physiological changes, resulting in a high-volume, low-resistance state. The uterus receives ten times the normal blood flow during pregnancy, making postpartum hemorrhage a critical concern. Notably, vital signs might not immediately reflect bleeding, making early detection challenging. Pregnant patients can lose up to two liters of blood without immediate changes in vital signs. Recognizing Post-Delivery Physiological Changes: Understanding the physiological changes in vital signs during and after pregnancy is crucial for pre-hospital providers. Pregnancy induces peripheral vasodilation, causing a slight drop in blood pressure. The heart rate increases by 10-15 points, and the respiratory system undergoes changes, requiring increased oxygen. Although the heart rate goes up in a pregnancy and the blood pressure goes down normaly, it is important that any abnormal vital signs such as a heart rate above 100 and a blood pressure below 100 systolic be treated as abnormal until proven otherwise. Four T's: Causes of Postpartum Hemorrhage: Tone: Involving inadequate uterine contraction, the most common cause. Trauma: Typically lacerations that result during delivery and can lead to significant bleeding. Tissue: Relates to retained placental tissue. Thrombin: Referring to coagulopathy or difficulty in clotting. Approach to Postpartum Hemorrhage in the Field: In a pre-hospital setting, managing postpartum hemorrhage involves a systematic approach. Key steps include: Administration of TXA: Tranexamic acid, if available, can help reduce bleeding. Uterotonic Administration: Oxytocin induces uterine contractions. If not available, can have baby latch which will stimulate the production of moms natural occurring oxytocin. Fundal Massage: Applying firm pressure to the uterus to encourage contraction. Addressing Lacerations: Check for lacerations and apply direct pressure to bleeding points if lacerations are visible. Transport to Hospital: Prioritize getting the patient to the hospital immediately for further evaluation and intervention. Secondary Postpartum Hemorrhage: In some cases, bleeding may occur after the initial 24 hours post-delivery, indicating secondary postpartum hemorrhage. Possible causes include retained products, subinvolution of the placental bed, or infection. In such cases, prompt resuscitation aimed at supportive care of abnormal vitals and transport to the hospital are critical. Summary and Takeaways: Dr. Moreira emphasizes the importance of considering postpartum hemorrhage in every pregnant patient. Pre-hospital providers should be prepared to manage complications by following a systematic algorithm. Early recognition, administration of appropriate medications, fundal message, direct pressure and prompt transportation to the hospital are key components of effective intervention. In conclusion, being proactive and vigilant in managing postpartum hemorrhage in the field is crucial for ensuring the well-being of both mother and child. Regular training, awareness, and a systematic approach are vital for pre-hospital providers to navigate these critical situations successfully.…
