Episode 5- Rethinking ACLS and PALS

Ed Bauter

In this episode of The Overrun, Ed, Dan, and Kevin discuss ACLS and PALS and how effective the classes are. Is it as important as it was to teach these classes in the same way we've been teaching them, or should we be thinking and teaching more broadly? Additionally, the crew discusses Amiodarone vs. Lidocaine. 

Check out the ROCtrial.

Episode 2- Career Mobility

Episode 2- Career Mobility

Ed Bauter

Ed and Dan discuss the career opportunities that EMS providers have. Career mobility is a significant concern to those who are entering the EMS field, and is something that is often ignored when new people join our ranks. The bureau of labor statistics in the United States reports that the job outlook for EMTs and paramedics is "better than average", yet we see a 10-12% attrition in the industry.

Episode 1- Red Lights and Sirens

Episode 1- Red Lights and Sirens

Ed Bauter

Welcome to first episode of The Overrun!

In this episode Ed and Dan discuss the value, if there is any, of using red lights and sirens for an emergency response. This is an issue that has come up recently in EMS circles, and it is an issue that requires serious discussion. The use of lights and sirens has proven to be dangerous, and does not provide any significant improvement in clinical outcomes for patients.
