In August 2022 two EMT-Cardiacs in Rhode Island found themselves in a situation that resulted in their suspensions. In this episode, the gang discusses the swiss cheese model of failure, and what we can do as an industry to improve systems and providers to ensure that we treat parents and newborns properly in the field.
Ed and Dan are back, this time talking about care of burn patients outside of the hospital. Burn injuries are high-acuity, low occurrence events (HALO), and it’s easy to miss things that may have a bigger impact on your patient than previously thought.
