Panel Discussion on Community Paramedicine

After a year and a half, I thought it was time for a progress update on community paramedicine programs. While at EMS Today 2012, I asked Anne Robinson (Caring Anne Consulting), Chris Montera (EMSGarage.com), and Gary Wingrove (IRCP.info) to join me and share recent milestones in the development of community paramedicine programs around the country and the world.

While at EMS Today 2012, I asked Anne Robinson (Caring Anne Consulting (http://twitter.com/caringanne)), Chris Montera (EMSGarage.com (http://EMSGarage.com)), and Gary Wingrove (IRCP.info (http://ircp.info)) to join me and share recent milestones in the development of community paramedicine programs around the country and the world. Anne, Chris and Gary talk about how programs are slowly moving forward as agencies, health care systems, and insurance companies slowly discover ways to pay for the programs. It is frustrating because the jurisdictions that are implementing these programs are seeing evidence of real cost savings for patient care and most importantly, better patient outcomes. Recently, Anne and Chris visited with major Nursing Organization representatives to explain the program and how it interrelates with home health nursing programs in the same area if those programs exist for underserved populations. Ultimately, Gary points out that each system must develop their own version of community paramedic based on the unique needs of health systems in their areas. The IRCP conference will be held in Vancouver, B.C. this year in June. You can find out how to register to attend for free at IRCP.info (http://ircp.info).

Most of their training are focused mainly on trauma care and providing measures to sustain the life of the injured until they are transported to a medical facility. Though constantly trained, their program is different from that of the paramedics in the civilian side of things. So if a military medic decides to get a certification as a civilian medic, would his experiences in the field as a military medic bear weight when he steps in the civilian setting where there is a vast array of cases or situations responders face? Listen in on this episode and follow the provided links to learn more about military field medics, their training and the program they can avail of to get a civilian paramedic certification.

How that pain is managed is still up to debate in some systems and under many protocols. Paramedics are at the forefront of care and the first point of care for many patients and yet they are often unable or unwilling to use major pain management drugs in the field to treat their patients.

How that pain is managed is still up to debate in some systems and under many protocols. Paramedics are at the forefront of care and the first point of care for many patients and yet they are often unable or unwilling to use major pain management drugs in the field to treat their patients. This episode will look in to the way pain works, current understanding of the physiology of pain and its effects on health and healing in our patients. Even the most basic pain management skills, when used aggressively to treat acute pain, will have a positive affect on helping our patients in the long run on the road to recovery.

It is important to continuously practice measures for infection control as well as personal measures including frequent handwashing to prevent the spread of these illnesses. Health care providers are at a very high risk for acquiring infection because of the work environment that they have. More importantly, they are also the best vectors for the spread of hospital acquired infections. As defined by the CDC, Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are infections caused by a wide variety of common and unusual bacteria, fungi, and viruses during the course of receiving medical care. Examples include sustained reduction in central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) by 70%, simply by ensuring adherence to available guidelines. Reductions have been demonstrated for other HAIs as well, but, much more remains to be done. Wherever patient care is provided, adherence to infection prevention guidelines is needed to ensure that all care is safe care. This includes traditional hospital settings as well as outpatient surgery centers, long-term care facilities, rehabilitation centers, and community clinics.

This Week: Discussion on Katrina Lawsuit and Hospital Preparedness

This week’s show is a discussion with Rick Russotti of the Mitigation Journaland MJ co-host Matt Comer on the general situation of a hospital lawsuit that rooted from the Hurricane Katrina and its implications to different organizations involved. During the time of hurricane Katrina, Memorial Medical Center in New Orleans was out of power, running water and temperature rose to 100 degrees. Reports of inadequate triage processes for evacuation and lack or leadership quickly followed. Eventually, forty-five bodies were found in the devastated health center during recovery efforts. Physician Anna Pou together with two other nurses allegedly “hastened” the patients’ deaths by injecting them with lethal doses of morphine. Pou defended herself by saying she merely helped the patients through their pain and holds that stand up until now.

Pou defended herself by saying she merely helped the patients through their pain and holds that stand up until now. A recent court decision required the institution to pay an amount of $25 million to the individuals who took shelter at that hospital and sustained injuries and died. This decision was based upon the lack of preparedness of the hospital for such disasters and its failure to operate in a highly emergent situation. How well is your system prepared to handle such situations? Does your system have a laid out plan in preparation to respond in this type of scenario where resources are unavailable?

This is used to confirm the insertion of an ET tube into the airway. Studies on wave form capnography have shown 100% sensitivity and 100% specificity in identifying correct endotracheal tube placement.

Here they have a discussion with American Airlines' 12-year chief safety officer, Scott Griffith. Although not involved in any particular field of EMS or medical service, Scott was part of the community of aviation leaders that developed the "Just Culture" concept which refers to notions of justice that is how to be fair and consistent in how we respond to human beings who work in high risk industry such as EMS. Later on in the discussion, they were joined by prehospital researcher Blair Baygum and EMS 10 award winner Daniel Patterson of University of Pittsburgh. They highlight what they thought was important for EMS safety and patient safety.  They packaged that presentation in a set of myths and provide some data to dispel those myths and also provided a frame of reference for some of the data that exist out there that characterizes one or more attributes of safety culture in EMS versus other settings. They gave the audience basically a frame of reference of where EMS might be and where EMS might want to go.

This is where we put in what exactly occurred in a call, what we did for the patient, the patient's response, their status upon endorsement and more. This is one of the legal documents that courts refer to in the event that something went wrong or complaints about care has been made. An accurate and professional documentation is the best protection a provider can have in such cases. In this tip of week, the podmedic provides an overview of the different types in which a narrative documentation can be made.

In this toxicology episode, Lisa Booze discusses the common inhalants seen, toxic effects, signs and symptoms of inhalant toxicity, and most importantly what to do when seeing a case of inhalant use and who to call first in such cases of emergency.

Problems can cause abnormal heart rhythms, called arrhythmias. There are many types of arrhythmia. During an arrhythmia, the heart can beat too fast, too slow, or it can stop beating. Sudden cardiac arrest occurs when the heart develops an arrhythmia that causes it to stop beating. This is different than a heart attack, where the heart usually continues to beat but blood flow to the heart is blocked. In this week's follow up episode from the previous NREMT Cardiac Skills Part 1, the podmedic provides additional tips for the NREMT skills for cardiac arrest management as well as tips and what to remember when taking this skills station.

Problems can cause abnormal heart rhythms, called arrhythmias. There are many types of arrhythmia. During an arrhythmia, the heart can beat too fast, too slow, or it can stop beating. Sudden cardiac arrest occurs when the heart develops an arrhythmia that causes it to stop beating. This is different than a heart attack, where the heart usually continues to beat but blood flow to the heart is blocked. A person who suffered from cardiac arrest will die within a few minutes without medical intervention. Patient outcomes depend on the time medical intervention has been initiated and on the skills of the first responder who provided initial cardiac arrest management. Moving on from the previous week's discussion on airway management skills, this week's tip of the week will be on cardiac skills or emergency management of cardiac issues.

All emergency responders in a major disaster will be sorely tested in time and resources and these community-based volunteers play a significant role in both preparing for disaster prior to occurrence and in the immediate response after a disaster strikes in the crucial first hours before state and national resources can be mobilized.

The Podmedic Jamie Davis and Chris Montera of EMS Garage (http://www.emsgarage.com) come together and interview Andy Lovell, GCEMS Chief and discuss Aladtec's EMS scheduling product called EMS Manager (http://aladtec.com)which is basically a web based service also available on a smart phone that aids in scheduling of hundreds of providers in an EMS system. Another guest that come on the show was Dr. Anonymous and Dr. Meyers and get on a discussion on EMS and emergency medicine. Keith introduced a product called BEAR (Bariatric Equalizing Abdominal Restraint) (http://www.beariatrics.com/) which functions by turning a regular cot into a bariatric cot by keeping the abdominal mass centered into the cot, diminishing the risk for tipping because of weight shifting especially while in transport. Josh from Wantynu (http://wantynu.com/the-wrenches/the-tk3/) also talks about the features of the TK3, an oxygen tank wrench designed to operate in a wider environment. ——– Sponsored by Aladtec's EMS Manager (http://aladtec.com) Software.

This week, we will cover on the top prescription drug used by individuals aged 0 to 11 years old, Bronchodilators. Bronchodilators dilate the bronchi and bronchioles, decreasing resistance in the respiratory airway and increasing airflow to the lungs. They are most useful in obstructive lung diseases, of which asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are the most common conditions. Some bronchodilators are inhaled, using a nebulizer or an inhalation aerosol.Others are taken as injections or by mouth. Examples of prescription bronchodilators are albuterol (Proventil, Ventolin), epinephrine (Primatene), ipratropium (Atrovent), metaproterenol (Alupent, Metaprel), and terbutaline (Brethine). A few bronchodilators, such as ephedrine, can be bought without a physician's prescription. However, even over-the-counter bronchodilators should only be used as recommended by a physician.

Patient outcomes are highly affected with how well the provider does his assessment and his decision making. For new EMS providers on the field, it takes a keen observation and focus to be able to perform a clear assessment amidst all the stress, tension and anxiety happening around him. Here are some of the important things to look at in performing an initial assessment: A- Airway * no airway * snoring * gurgling * vomiting * blood in the airway B- Breathing * no breathing * wheezing * labored breathing * use of accessory muscles * retractions * open hole in chest C- Circulation * pulses * perfusion * capillary refill D- Disability or Mental Function * level of consciousness * GCS * consider presence of cervical spine injury * A- alert, awake, aware of person, place and time * V- responsive to verbal stimuli * P- responsive to painful stimuli * U- unconscious, unresponsive to stimuli For a more detailed review on initial assessment methods, follow the resources provided below Dan Limmer Handouts for EMS (http://danlimmer.com/handouts.html) Initial Assessment (http://www.hopperinstitute.com/emt_initial.html) Assessment Tips for New Providers on the Field (http://www.ems1.com/ems-products/education/articles/507226-Patient-Assessment-Tips-from-the-Field-for-New-Providers/) -------- Sponsored by the MedicCast Extra (../../amember/signup.php),and MedicCast Store (http://store.mediccast.com/) Extra Content for MedicCast Listeners for less than $1 per day (via monthly subscription) * NREMT Study and Prep Tips * All Tips and Meds segments from the MedicCast and Nursing Show as separate downloadable files * Special iTunes Podcast Feed for Members – Get the segments as a podcast * Extra Members-Only content added monthly ---------------------------- Contact Me!

Signs and symptoms of stroke include sudden numbness or weakness, especially on one side of the body; sudden confusion or trouble speaking or understanding speech; sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes; sudden trouble with walking, dizziness, or loss of balance or coordination; or sudden severe headache with no known cause. Early management and diagnosis of a stroke is essential to a good prognosis. One must consider the presence of risk factors that could predispose an individual to a stroke event such as chronic hypertension, atrial fibrillation and diabetes. Acute stroke therapies try to stop a stroke while it is happening by quickly dissolving the blood clot causing an ischemic stroke or by stopping the bleeding of a hemorrhagic stroke. Medication or drug therapy used to prevent or treat stroke are antithrombotics (antiplatelet agents and anticoagulants) and thrombolytics.

More importantly, they are also the best vectors for the spread of hospital acquired infections. As defined by the CDC, Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are infections caused by a wide variety of common and unusual bacteria, fungi, and viruses during the course of receiving medical care. Examples include sustained reduction in central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) by 70%, simply by ensuring adherence to available guidelines. Reductions have been demonstrated for other HAIs as well, but, much more remains to be done. Wherever patient care is provided, adherence to infection prevention guidelines is needed to ensure that all care is safe care. This includes traditional hospital settings as well as outpatient surgery centers, long-term care facilities, rehabilitation centers, and community clinics.

However,these substances that are mistaken to be toxic, only cause GI upsets and are not lethal at all. Common household items like petroleum jelly, silica gel, Poinsettia, toothpaste and bleach are just some of them. As providers of emergency medicine, we should know about what’s toxic and what’s not to be able to educate the public on which items they should be extra careful with, how to handle GI upsets, and also reduce anxiety and panic especially in parents with children who accidentally ingested chemicals that are actually non-toxic and also inform the public of the availability of poison center hotlines to get in touch with individuals who are well versed with poisoning and can provide them with better resources and information.

I’d like to revisit that subject with some new data. From 1990 to 2006, as many as 10% of children in the United States were given cough and cold medicines weekly for illnesses and cold-like symptoms. A few years ago, a group of physicians petitioned the Food and Drug Administration to relook at the safety of pediatric cough and cold medicines. What prompted this was the fact that there were more than 60,000 possible poisonings reported to poison centers yearly, coupled with the lack of any data that these products were effective in small children. In 2007, soon after the petition, manufacturers withdrew over-the-counter cough and cold products that were marketed for children less than 2 years old. In 2008, the FDA recommended that cough and cold products not be used at all in children under 2. Also in 2008, manufacturers went further in response to public pressure, and changed the labeling of products to indicate that they should not be used in children less than 4 years old. The FDA supported this action. A study that was published in Annals of Emergency Medicine in 2009 looked at pediatric fatalities associated with over-the-counter cough and cold meds reported by 5 sources, including poison centers, over a period of at least 20 years (different sources included different time periods), up to the time of the actions taken on these products. There were just 118 deaths in children less than 12 years old that were concluded to be possibly due to cough and cold medicines.  Most of the fatalities were in children less than 2 years of age. Eighty-eight of the deaths involved an overdose of the medicine, and most of the remaining cases involved giving the child more than one product with the same ingredients. Unfortunately, many of the overdoses were when adults gave the children the cough & cold medicines to sedate them or to control their behavior. This sheds a little more light on pediatric fatalities with cough and cold medicines – how many and why they occurred, prior to the regulatory and voluntary actions.

These medications help patients with psychosis lead a more normal and fulfilling life by alleviating such symptoms as hallucinations, both visual and auditory, and paranoid thoughts. However, there are side-effects accompanying these medications. Side effects that may be seen in patient taking antipsychotic medications include drowsiness, rapid heartbeat, blurred vision, photosensitivity, skin rashes and dizziness when changing position. Anti-psychotics are further classified into subtypes, the more recently developed antipsychotic medications have much lesser side effects though the earlier released type is still being used.

This conversation happened after our chat with Dr. Monica Kleinman from the American Heart Association's Emergency Cardiovascular Care Committee. Listen to that interview with Dr. Kleinman on the ECC 2010 Updates here (http://www.mediccast.com/blog/2010/10/18/ecc-2010-update-interview/). Specifically, Tom and Jamie discuss ways EMTs and paramedics can begin to implement the spirit of the ECC 2010 guideline changes and what might better be called "reinforcement." The two also talk about the challenges associated with tracking and planning for success as an EMS professional when dealling with sudden cardiac arrest in each community. Whether your emergency medical services system is large or small, it is imperative to track your numbers for sudden cardiac arrest patients. Only by tracking and following your efforts can you begin to find areas in which you can improve your patient outcomes. Tom Bouthillet particularly likes the Choreographed approach to cardiac arrest management which he thinks is more like a NASCAR Pit Crew than a dance troupe. When every team member knows what they are doing and how they are to interact with the rest of the team, each EMT and paramedic can effectively work towards giving that patient the best chance for survival.

Since intraosseus access is now becoming an alternative route of administration in place of an IV line, emergency medicine providers should be aware of this procedure, how it's done, the indications, contraindications as well as the considerations for patients with an IO access in place. For more information on intraosseus access in the prehospital arena, EMT's paramedics and EMS students can follow the links provided below.
