    As our team is out saving lives, we're excited to revisit one of the most harrowing episodes in our archives from January 2023. This remarkable story has a multitude of valuable lessons and insights you're going to love. See you next month with fresh content!

He tells an incredible story about how his life was changed in a split second via car accident, shares the harrowing journey in the hospital that happened with his youngest son, and the aftermath that followed. Our hosts also discuss Air Methods' MACC Checklist, which stands for Medication Administration Cross Check. It's a story of tragedy, of forgiveness, and of making the most out of the impossibly difficult situations life presents you with. Ridley Barron, Senior Pastor and Motivational Speaker.

    Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep. 48: The Pinkie Promise
    Jan 29 2025
    A pinkie promise is a promise you cannot break, and it's one our patient in this month's episode made to his wife when he was stricken with a life-threatening COVID infection. She made him promise that he would pull through the ordeal, and he did... but not without many bumps in the road. Our team not only battled our patient's COVID, but also a nasty case of pneumonia that ultimately led to him needing to be placed on ECMO, which, as you know, is usually a last resort. Listen in as they transported him prone, which our team had never done before in 20+ years of experience, dealt with an unexpected hailstorm during transport and find out how our patient ended up doing after a lung transplant.

    The holidays are a time for hope, a time for believing in the extraordinary. Remember that classic holiday film, Miracle on 34th Street? Just when everyone's lost faith, a series of unexpected events bring about the impossible. Well, this week on the Air Methods Prehospital Education Podcast, we bring you a real-life story that echoes that same spirit. It's a case of resilience, determination, and the power of preparation in the face of a life-threatening pediatric emergency. Picture this: a child in cardiac arrest, the festive joy replaced by the urgent need to save a life. Our crew, faced with a medical mystery and a young life hanging in the balance, refused to give up. Like Kris Kringle himself, they needed more than just skill – they needed a touch of magic, a sprinkle of the extraordinary. Join us as our AMPED crew, Medical Director Dr. Wilmas, Flight Nurse Nyssa Hattaway, and I, delve into this heartwarming case, exploring how preparation, quick thinking, and a series of fortunate events intertwined to save a child's life. It's a story that reminds us that even in the darkest of moments, hope, like the spirit of the holidays, can prevail. Interested in obtaining CE credit for this episode?

    Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep. 45: Heed Your Intuition
    Oct 16 2024
    A seemingly simple heart attack gives our team pause because the patient presents a litany of conflicting symptoms. Should our team send him to have a stent put in right away - as is standard procedure - or do they wait to address the other symptoms and risk muscle damage? What would you do if you were in their position? Our hosts consider the symptoms and give their own recommendations while our team shares what actually unfolded. The lesson is that if something feels a bit off, it's important to listen to your intuition. Interested in obtaining CE credit for this episode? Visit OnlineAscend.com to learn more.

    A motorcycle accident victim faces dire circumstances and our team has to execute a new procedure that is rarely done in the field and has a high degree of risk if not done correctly. They are one of the only teams in the region equipped to even do such a procedure, and our team is concerned about doing it correctly because a lot can go wrong. Could you do a procedure you don't normally do with an audience? Because in addition to having to execute for the good of the patient, our team had the patient's family, other first responders and more watching them. Listen in as our team tackles another fascinating case on this episode of AMPED. Interested in obtaining CE credit for this episode? Visit OnlineAscend.com to learn more.
