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.

Are You An EMS Micro Influencer?

Posted on January 17, 2018 Written by Leave a Comment

What do you do each day in EMS that makes a difference? Not necessarily with a patient, although that is certainly important.

I’m talking about doing things that influence. They can be small or big. Perhaps just at the level of influence with that partner sitting next to you.

When we can have that micro influence, it can go much further than we may think.
