Chest Pain in Women (ALS)

by Thomas Wiese | Cardiovascular, EMS
It is critical for EMS providers to have an understanding of the ways chest pain can present between men and women. Too often, chest pain and heart attacks in female patients can go untreated and undiagnosed. This course will examine the similarities and differences men and women experience with angina and the differences in causes.

Defibrillator and Monitor Functions

by Chris Ladorola | Cardiovascular, EMS
Irregular heartbeats or arrhythmias are dangerous, life-threatening events. There are different methods to help revive a patient depending on the heart event they are experiencing. EMS providers will need to be able to observe the patient's heart rhythm and use monitors to do so. EMS systems utilize combination monitor/defibrillators in the field to both track the patient’s cardiac output and provide defibrillation if needed. This course will review common monitor functions and demonstrate how to perform transcutaneous pacing, synchronized cardioversion, and placing a 12-lead.

E-CPR, VADs, and ECMO: Oh My!

by Timothy Misselbeck | Cardiovascular, EMS
In this webinar, learners will be introduced to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and its broad applications. It is a well-established therapy, and its use is becoming more widespread. Most tertiary facilities have ECMO programs and capability. EMS personnel could be called on to transport these critically ill patients, and this lecture provides a broad overview. ECMO has been used in the field as a resuscitative adjunct. In the future, it is possible that some centers in the United States may consider this option. In this course, Dr. Misselbeck also provides a provocative look at the potential of this emerging technology for the future.

LVO Stroke Recognition

by Eric Cortez | Cardiovascular, EMS
Prehospital stroke care continues to evolve. Over the past five years, mechanical thrombectomy has emerged as the preferred treatment option for patients presenting with large vessel occlusion strokes. EMS agencies are now being challenged to recognize large vessel occlusions on-scene and consider direct transport to comprehensive stroke centers for mechanical thrombectomy. In this course, we will review the current paradigm of prehospital stroke care, review the growing body of literature evaluating prehospital stroke severity tools, and discuss the numerous items affecting transport decisions.
