OMD intro video for youtube

Welcome from the Austin/Travis County EMS System Office of the Medical Director! This is our intro. We are all about EMS and prehospital care.
Cath lab nurse here, I use these push doses everyday, great break down, I personally am not pushing more than 5-10mcgs IV epi but 20mcgs will get you where you need to be haha!
Phenomenal, I need you to do a video for Amiodarone, Lidocaine and Mag.
Thanks for a straight forward, useful, common sense approach to a subject that can seem overwhelming.
Hey, can someone explain to me how the concentration of the normal saline became 8mcg/ml after injecting 2mL of the med in the bag?
Why not add 2.5 ml of 1:1000 to the 250 ml bag instead? Then, you keep the same 10 mcg per ml concentration. Less confusing.
For the the push dose epi it doesnt matter what fluid is used as long as we have 1 ml of epi. And from there we can push 20mcg from there
I remember watching this 10 months ago and being so lost. Now I'm nearing the end of my course and this is so easy to understand. Woo hoo for progress! Thanks for the great vid.
I’m a new Paramedic and this video helped tremendously. Thank you!
Thank you, Dr. Pickett. This video is outsanding.
Great podcast
Thanks,can you make video for dopamine and dobutamine..also for antiarrythmic

Thoughts on using CPAP or higher peep for intubated patients with 100% FiO2 for the more critical patients to decrease the half-life of CO?
CPAP may be helpful in creating a tighter seal and therefore increasing the FiO2. A nonrebreather entrains a lot of room air as the patient breathes and provides far from 100% FiO2 as is sometimes taught. The improved alveolar recruitment with CPAP also helps with gas exchange if there is any atelectasis. But CPAP itself does not increase the pressure of oxygen felt at the cellular level.
Great Video! Hope you create more content.
What a great presentation. Very informative. The person presenting however, is slovenly in appearance and probably smells bad.
I have a "cool" story about mesenteric ischemia... It's a long story so you'll have to ask me in person, but it almost killed my mom in 2017.
Solid talk. No none sense and practical information for the prehospital provider. I especially love the dispelling of rumors and poor practices.
We have a protocol update to be submitted soon I will be adding lots of notes to the pearls and other changes. thanks, great podcast as usual.
Thanks for being out there with us!
Was Medic 22 the unit that was totaled? A where and how? We’re they hit or just run off the road?
Dual purpose video and adding the audio to the podcast platform.
YAY! Finally a youtube channel I actually WANT to subscribe to. Now i can stop watching all those "oddly satisfying" TH-cam videos of pressure washing.
Yay! I get to be first comment! I'm an Idaho EMT who loves the work your office does.
