Did you think We were finally starting to make headway on the fight against Epi in cardiac arrest? Did you think bicarb was finally out of the minds of providers now even though it hasn't been in the ACLS algorithm in recent history? Are you tired of explaining why Narcan isn't indicated in cardiac arrest? Well hold up! Because Dr. Jeff Jarvis are about to make you BIG MAD with some new data.

In this episode I talk to FlightBridgeEd's Eric Bauer about what happens after we intubate a patient. Eric, with the help of Dr. Michael Lauria, has been developing a way to organize post-intubation management with the PHACTORS mnemonic. We go through these factors one letter at a time and break down managing that patient once they've been intubated. That patient that you've intubated? They are now more dependent on your management than they were before, so it's vital that you be constantly thinking about that ongoing management.

EMS rehearses and drills cardiac arrest care repeatedly. We have HP-CPR and resuscitation academies. We are ALWAYS looking for ways to improve survival rates. But...we are way more likely to encounter a patient with sepsis, something that will kill as many people as survive cardiac arrest. But we have a much greater ability to improve those numbers. So why don't we OWN sepsis? Dr. Peter Antevy and I dive into why EMS doesn't have High-Performance Sepsis care and Sepsis academies and bragging rights to our amazing sepsis survival numbers.
