1:00:02Learn a systematic approach to management of wide complex tachycardia that doesn't rely on exact rhythm identification or scoring systems with guest Dr. Kevin Butler. By understanding the physiology rather than memorizing a score or algorithm you can use Kevin's approach and ABCD mnemonic to help differentiate between ventricular tachycardia, SVT with aberrancy, and other arrhythmias. Learn how not to miss the vital mimics with his SPAM filter. And finally by understanding which treatments are safe and which treatments potentially dangerous you can understand how to move forward even when you're not exactly sure what the arrhythmia is.

You’ve looked at other paramedic continuing education resources but it’s the same basic material they taught you in school. There’s more you need to know, or you might miss something, someone might get hurt, or worse someone might die. You don’t feel ready. Your goal is to control the chaos. To become an expert in the field of prehospital medicine. And this is all driven by the desire to be there for someone on the worst day of their life. To change an outcome that would have otherwise been catastrophic if you weren’t there. There’s no resource for the practicing paramedic to plug the holes that were left behind by paramedic school. Everything seems stuck in basic algorithms of “A” then “do B” but what do you do when "A” wasn’t in the book. We need to get away from the algorithmic thinking and instead shift to understanding the principles behind WHY if A then B. The truth is, you can’t learn it all. Emergency Medicine includes too many pathologies and 911 calls are too unique and chaotic to know the answer to every situation. Instead of trying to learn every answer to every call, you need guiding principles for your knowledge to stand on. If you build these principles they become the foundation for every call no matter the complaint, for every situation, no matter the chaos surrounding you. If you have the foundation you can be stable when the storm comes. You can know when to push forward or when to change course. And then each additional piece of advanced content that you learn can be added to that foundation to build on, because mastery is not a destination, it’s a journey and the journey never ends. We are your hosts, Ross Orpet & Will Berry and this is EMS Cast. Come on this journey with us to mastering emergency medicine. We will cover topics in more depth than you learned in paramedic school, we will teach one step further and talk about what will happen to that patient in the Emergency Department after you drop them off. And we will connect all of this back to the principles that will guide you not just on this call but on all the calls. These principles will allow you to answer the question, at the end of the day, what’s really important to me, the paramedic, in the field, in that moment. You may not feel ready, you may not feel like you know enough, but you can understand the principles and that will make all the difference. Because what you do matters.…
