Evidence-Based Medicine vs. Provider Ego

Michael Dailey is a paramedic and emergency physician from Albany, NY. He's a self-styled paramedic stuck in a doctor's body.  Are we allowing data control our approach to intubation or does our ego get in the way?  Dr. Dailey is excited about the future of research-based medicine pushing EMS forward and optimizing patient outcomes. 

Competing in the iSimulate Clinical Challenge

Clinical Challenge participants Megan Weiczenski and Andrew Grandin from Mercer County EMS came to EMS World Expo to compete. They have had great success in these types of clinical competitions and made it to the finals here at EMS World Expo Las Vegas 2017.

Intubation, Ego, and Jeff Jarvis

Jeff Jarvis, MD, Medical Director for Williamson County EMS in Texas, conducted research on prehospital airways and explains that while intubating our patients we can sometimes let our ego get in the way of patient outcomes.  EMS World is partnering with UCLA’s Prehospital Care Research Forum (PCRF) to bring original science and research to readers of EMS World and attendees of EMS World Expo.
