  • Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep. 64: Ego is the Enemy -- Navigating Blind Anatomy
    2026/05/27
    At a motorcycle track, a middle-aged man suffers a massive crash off a jump. Byt the time our team arrives on scene, the man is inflating like a balloon suffering from massive structural-distorting subcutaneous emphysema. The massive air pockets completely obliterated his normal anatomy, leaving them to guess: Do we blindly plunge decompressing needles into his chest where the landmarks have completely vanished or do we prioritize and secure the airway using advanced focused techniques? Listen in as our team learns in real time that ego has no place beside the patient. How does this case turn out? Listen in! Interested in obtaining CE credit for this episode?

  • Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep. 63: Doing the Same Thing Twice-When Needles Aren't Enough
    2026/04/15
    A man in a high speed, rollover motor vehicle crash experiences a multitude of symptoms including hemorrhagic shock and profound respiratory distress. As our team assesses him, they attempt multiple needle decompressions to relieve pressure and improve breathing. None are successful. Having recently received training and approval to do a finger thoracostomy, they talk with their lead clinician and decide that is the best course of action. Listen in as we hear from the team on the ground, experience their decisionmaking, and find out what happens. Interested in obtaining CE credit for this episode? Visit OnlineAscend.com to learn more.

  • Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep. 62 The Eye of the Hurricane- Vigilance in the Deceptive Stillness
    2026/03/18
    On this episode of AMPED, when our team arrives on scene for a pediatric head trauma case in a 10-month old, everything at first seems normal and under control. But in that calm, something feels off to one of our clinicians and he believes our patient faces imminent peril. Does he defer to the doctor on scene who has given assurances that everything is fine, or does he listen to his intuition and communicate his concerns to his partner in order to take action? Listen in and find out how this case unfolds, and hear how this particular case affected our clinicians greatly after the fact. Interested in obtaining CE credit for this episode?

  • Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep. 61: Mise en Place - Staging the Chaos
    2026/02/23
    When our crew is dispatched to an extremely rural location, they find our patient has fallen off an a-frame ladder and been impaled in the chest by a large piece of rebar on the ground. We know that in dealing with impalements, removal or jostling of the object can cause a host of problems for the patient, so the team must take great care in transporting him to a location where removal and treatment can occur in a safe and controlled environment. Listen in as our team coordinates with other first responders, readies their equipment mise en place, and communicates to ensure the best outcome for our patient. You'll find he is simultaneously very unlucky, and extraordinarily lucky in his unusual case. Interested in obtaining CE credit for this episode? Visit OnlineAscend.com to learn more.

  • Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep. 60: No Pulse, No Problem
    2026/01/21
    Our crew was dispatched to a high energy, rollover MVC with a patient ejection, which usually demands aggressive trauma protocols. But what happens when the patient is equipped with a HeartMate II, a Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) that pumps blood for failing hearts. The irony is that this extremely sophisticated medical device that keeps our patient alive, also precludes our team from gathering regular vital signs, like a palpable pulse or traditional blood pressure measurements. How does the team manage a trauma resuscitation when the patient's circulation is a continuous flow rather than a beat? The trick is going to back to the basics of trauma care. Listen in and find out how this case unfurled. Interested in obtaining CE credit for this episode? Visit OnlineAscend.com to learn more.

  • Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep. 59: Scales of Uncertainty
    2025/12/18
    On this show we have espoused the general guiding principal of "when you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras." Sometimes the hoofbeats actually are those of zebras. But what if sometimes there not even zebras, they're unicorns? On this episode of AMPED, our patient has been bitten by a Jameson's Mamba, one of the deadliest snakes in the world. Thankfully, he is an expert herpetologist who is able to talk our team through the steps needed to save his life. But what our team learns is that sometimes that which seems extremely rare results in care that isn't rare at all. Interested in obtaining CE credit for this episode?

  • Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep. 58: The Muck and the Mechanism
    2025/11/19
    A brutal incident where a woman gets hit by a truck leaves her with a multitude of injuries, most notably both of her legs bent into a position best described as "frog legs." She's in good spirits and her vitals are good, but her legs bent at that angle means that she cannot fit into our team's helicopter. How does our team get her legs back into place without causing further trauma or risking her stable vitals? Complicating factors is the extremely uneven ground because they're in a cow pasture and the risk of infection is extremely high because the team and the patient are surrounded by cow patties. There is no training for this exact scenario, so how does our team adapt and apply the training they have to this unique situation? This episode of AMPED digs in.
