We've finally finished cutting down the recordings from the 2025 Kentucky EMS Medical Directors Conference. There were some really great talks from Dan Batsie's Keynote on Deliberate Disruption, EMS buprenorphine, aeromed transport, regulatory updates, safe driving, a cool new program for medically complex kids (that will make your life a lot easier), trauma updates, airway... and if you want to see what the next evolution in cardiac arrest management is going to be , you have to see Jason Bowman's arrest physiology talk. So go check them out!

I'm putting together a series of education videos on the new Kentucky State Protocols. Here's the first one on the changes to the termination of resus and withholding resus protocol. It's a little dry and might be a better listen than a watch, but it should answer a lot of questions. Have a look!

That's a funny looking EKG tracing; what does it mean?

Sure, you can read the computer interpretation at the top of the strip, but there's a reason they still pay humans to read EKGs. Check out this first in our practical emergency EKG interpretation series:

We've been sorta quietly working on a project recently that I think is ready to start putting out there. It's called EKG of the Week, and the page lives here
http://www.emsgrandrounds.org/ekg-of-the-week

You've obtained a lot of EKGs, but since you got out of medic school (or for that matter, while you were in school) how many times have you sat down with someone and actually walked through how to read one? EKG interpretation is one of the defining skills of paramedic practice, but for most of us, it's like bowling in the dark- you can't improve your next roll if you don't have feedback on this one.

This is a series of relatively short videos where we go through real world EKGs and how to interpret them. For folks in the know, it's a quick refresher; for folks just starting out, it's a bit more in depth practice than a 2 week cardiology block, but in 10 minute bits. Give it a look!

 INTERPRETING AN EKG IS PROBABLY THE THING THAT MOST CLEARLY SEPARATES A PARAMEDIC’S ABILITIES FROM THAT OF OTHER PREHOSPITAL PROFESSIONALS.

Tracheostomies are a little bit scary to deal with, largely because we're just not really familiar with them in EMS. Having a little path to follow when dealing with a patient in distress with a tracheostomy can be awfully helpful.

Nitrous Oxide... just for laughs.
Actually it's a really good idea that you could be using now- simple, safe, effective. Really, what's stopping us?

Ever heard of the Boston Molasses Disaster? Ever think of what it could teach us about contemporary emergency airway management?
