Neonatal Resuscitation with Dr. Kamath-Rayne
http://helpingbabiesbreathe.org/
90-95% of newborns will require no intervention prior to their first breath. 5-10% of newborns will require drying, stimulation, or suctioning to get them to breath. 3-6% will require assisted ventilation with BMV. <1% will require advanced care with intubation, meds, or chest compressions
Golden Minute: within the first minute you want to ensure the baby is breathing spontaneously or have initiated BVM ventilation.
Enter the FOAM
This past Wednesday, I had the pleasure of giving a lecture on FOAM to the UC Emergency Medicine Residency. Well, it wouldn't quite be a lecture on FOAM if I didn't make it freely available to all after I finished it all up. You can check out the lecture slides on slideshare embedded at the bottom of the post. I also recorded the lecture and broke it down into a series of 5-ish minute long videos which you can look at based on your area of interest.

EMS as a Specialty with Dr. Gerecht
"We are in the business of delivering health care to a very unique population, in a very unique environment, in a very unique way" - Dr. Edward Racht
EMS formally became a subspecialty of EM in 2006. The first board certified EMS physicians passed their exams last year (we have 3 in our EMS division).
EMS physicians train in clinical aspects of EMS medicine, medical oversight of EMS, quality management, and special operations.
