Air Care Series: Cardiogenic Shock
Cardiogenic shock presents many challenges in both the transport environment and hospital setting. We aim to review the current state of evidence pertaining to the medical management in the critical care transport environment.
Air Care Orientation Case #1
This is Case #1 of our Air Care Orientation Curriculum! This curriculum is designed to help prepare our rising R2's for their new responsibility as flight physicians. These cases are discussed amongst our training flight docs and this is the resultant learning points. In this case, we discuss a sick trauma patient that needs multiple interventions. But what interventions need to be done? In what order? And who should do them? Read on to find out!
Protect Me! "Flights" #4 Recap
Welcome to the Final Recap of our “Flights” Case Series!
Thanks to all those who participated in the discussion and to those who tuned into the “Flights” cases throughout the spring and summer. The final "Flights" cases centered in on several challenging airway scenarios. Penetrating neck trauma with a tracheal injury; GSW to the face with significantly altered anatomy; and a tracheostomy displaced and a patient with critical hypoxia - airway management in the field requires a nimble mind and knowledge of one's own equipment. Take a look at our thoughts on the cases and see what you might do in similar situations.
