Can EMS Stop Using O2 As The Go To?

Posted on January 15, 2019 Written by Leave a Comment

Finally! EMS can stop using oxygen on patients…. Well not just yet.

Ever think that maybe patients would be just fine at a 94% Sp02 reading. Even when having a stroke or MI.?

A study on the benefits of oxygen and how an Spo2 reading as low as 93% or even 90% is just fine for patients.

This week on the show Jim is joined by Josh and Dave and they discuss this report and how even recent suggestions per the AHA has made using oxygen much different than it has been.

Take a listen below and be sure to read the report via the link below the audio.

Don’t Settle For One EMS Option

Posted on December 20, 2018 Written by Leave a Comment

As 2018 comes to an end I wanted to get one more episode of the podcast in and answer a question I get a lot from members and those I coach on a one to one basis.

The question? “Jim, why do you recommend other peoples products, websites and services?”

Yeah, you might think doing that hurts me as a small business owner. The thing is, I don’t have all the answers or even the best answers. But the one answer I do have is that “I know what is best for people to succeed”.

If that means I send them someplace else then so be it. However, many times it means my members and clients get the best of all worlds.

Take a listen and I think you will see what I mean and how this all applies to you as an EMS professional.

I know you will enjoy this quick 20 min episode and I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a very Happy New Year.

Treat The Patient Not The Monitor | Or Something Like That

Posted on December 4, 2018 Written by Leave a Comment

This week on the podcast I talk about the age old saying “Treat the patient, not the monitor”. Maybe it should be “Treat the patient AND the monitor”.

Plus I highlight an up and coming ECG monitor that looks great but I think way to many bells and whistles – translation – too expensive for most agencies in equipment and training.

Leaning In | Taking Stock In EMS

Posted on November 26, 2018 Written by Leave a Comment

This weeks podcast is from a FaceBook Live I did. I talk about filtering content for EMS and how that can benefit you and your patients more. I also talk about the idea of “leaning in”.  I was listening a mentor of mine who is not in EMS actually but he was talking about this idea of Leaning In and I immediately knew how close it applies to EMS.

Giving Patients An Unfair Advantage

Posted on October 23, 2018 Written by Leave a Comment

When you prepare beyond your basic training and knowledge you are giving your patients an unfair advantage. This is good for them of course but great for you as well.

It’s unfair unfortunately because many EMS providers just do the minimum to get certified and get a job. But as you know, EMS is more than just a job. There are so many moving parts and you should be understanding them all thoroughly.

Doing that will give your patients that advantage they need. Take a listen to this weeks episode and see what I mean.
