The Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation (www.SCA-Aware.org) is one of those groups who support EMS and emergency health care systems by calling attention to the things that can be done to improve cardiac arrest rescue rates. Carissa Caramanis O’Brien returns with a special interview with two “rescuers” responsible for saves using prompt and high quality CPR, AEDs, and 911 rescue services.
This is one of the many non-profit and government organizations you’ll find at EMS Today and that’s one of the reasons this conference is among the top health and medical conferences out there. We here at the MedicCast and ProMed Network want to again thank JEMS.com and Elsevier for allowing us to come in and cover this trade show for our audience.

Ted Setla is one of the innovators to watch in emergence medical services because of the ways he tells stories about what we in EMS do every day. His new Code STEMI project he has been working on alongside co-creator Tom Bouthillet is just one example of that powerful story telling style he brings to his video projects.
Code STEMI is a project that looks at how systems handle cardiac emergencies from all perspectives from the patients and their loved ones to the health care professionals who come in contact with them on their journey through the emergency care systems. Ted and Tom interview them all including the responding paramedics, ER and CCU nurses, physicians, and system medical directors and administrators in order to tell the story of a cardiac care survivor and to highlight the things that other systems can implement to improve their systems of EMS care.
You can find all of the Code STEMI episodes and the special behind the scenes highlights at www.CodeSTEMI.tv.

Whenever I get a chance to sit down and talk with Cam Pollock, VP of Marketing at Physio-Control, I take it. While at the EMS 10 Innovator Awards ceremony at EMS Today 2012 this year, Cam was gracious enough to sit down and talk about some of the changes at Physio-Control, Inc. after their divestiture from Medtronic Corporation.
These opportunities to see how our product vendors think and view their important work providing us the tools of our emergency medical services trade is vital to making sure we keep the communication channels open between these companies and the customers and patients they serve. I urge you to listen carefully whenever you get to meet an EMS vendor representative and see where their commitments are when it comes to serving the patients you serve through your hands and their products.
While you’re at it, stop by the Physio-Control Facebook page where they post many interesting articles on topics all over the EMS and health care industry on things that might be affecting you.

I always enjoy checking out all of the new things I see at conferences like EMS Today. I get to see what is new and innovative in emergency medical services tools and techniques for patient care. Clear Collar is one of those items that takes an old standard concept like cervical spine immobilization and says “we can do it better.”
I think they’ve definitely improved on the standard of care with their adjustable clear collar product. The entire collar is made of a flexible, TRANSPARENT, plastic that allows for both patient comfort and visualization of injuries under the collar. Now if we can just perfect the xray goggles, we’ll be able to see through our other interventions as well. Until then, the Clear Collar is the best alternative.

Sharps Terminator Wins Product Innovator Pick and EMS Safety Kudos
Podcast (weekly-tv-commentary): Play in new window | Download
Once in a while you find a gem of a product at conferences like EMS Today and I was very excited when I stumbled across the Sharps Terminator from Medical Safety Solutions, Inc. (www.SharpsTerminator.us) In this video I interview Dennis DeCiancio, Sr. while he demonstrates this small device that may eliminate the need for giant sharps container everywhere we work in the health care industry.
The Sharps Terminator works at the point of use to melt and sterilize the sharp end of a syringe or butterfly needle using battery operated electrical current and ultra-violet light. That’s right, I said MELT. In just 3 seconds, the needle is slagged and snipped off the plastic syringe barrel leaving plastic for the standard red bag and a tiny pile of melted metal and plastic that is inert and is as safe as an office paper clip.
This not only got our Product Innovator pick for the show but also won the same recognition from JEMS and EMS Today. I urge you, EMTs and paramedics in the field to check this device out and find out how you can equip your units with one today!
