ZOLL Now Supporting Chronicles of EMS Pilot

My friends Ted Setla & Chris Montera are trying to put together the first EMS reality series made by EMS providers, for EMS providers. As they try to secure funding for just the pilot of the series, a huge step forward came along today. Monitor/Defibrillator maker ZOLL is signed on as a corporate sponsor.

Video Intro From Chronicles of EMS Gang

Here’s a short video introduction from the Chronicles of EMS stars, Mark and Justin, as they show each other learning about how the EMS systems work differently in each country. Mark is here from the U.K. and is currently in San Francisco riding along with fire fighter / paramedic Justin from SFFD.

Bicycle ambulances saving lives in Africa

For most EMS professionals, state-of-the-art equipment and gadgetry, not to mention ambulances that are quickly becoming rolling ERs, is pretty much par for the course. But a recent story from Malawi shows that sometimes the most low-tech solutions are really all that’s needed to save lives.

Tonight’s topic: Review of the Best Products Seen At EMS Expo

A few weeks ago, I got to spend an amazing time at the EMS Expo in Atlanta with fellow podcasters and EMS product reviewers, Chris Montera of the EMS Garage podcast and Greg Friese of EPS411.com. We saw a lot of amazing products down there and had an interesting time looking around at some pretty innovative things going on in EMS product development.

Chronicles of EMS Video Project Getting Big Start

Chronicles of EMS video project getting big start thanks to Twitter, Facebook and other social media sites! I helped my friend, paramedic film maker Ted Setla, set a goal to get 100 fans for his new EMS reality show project on the first day.

Safer EMS From Safer Ambulances – A Look at Side Loaders

I’ve wondered for a long time about why we still make ambulances in the same basic configuration as the old cadillac hearse style units of the 1960’s and ’70’s? Why not make a side loading ambulance to enable easier loading of the patient from whichever direction is safer for the EMTs and paramedics?

Automated CPR Compression Devices Save EMS Provider’s Backs

Raise your hand if you have ever had a sore back from a long run of CPR while working a cardiac arrest.

Prolonged compressions by any individual not only hurts you, but it also hurts your patient’s chances of survival. Many studies have shown a significant reduction in effectiveness of compressions after just a few minutes of CPR.

NBC cancels Trauma

So it’s official. Trauma is no more. NBC has opted not to pick up the medical drama, but will air the 13 episodes originally ordered.

Opinions seem to vary on whether this was a welcome move or not. On the one hand, the constant nit-picking and fault-finding from some members of the EMS community must certainly have played a role in the cancellation. When actors have to do damage control interviews and apologetic press junkets to ease ruffled feathers, you know it can’t be a good sign. On the other hand, a whole group of enthusiasts defended the series as good old-fashioned entertainment that took no more creative license than most shows on television do – does anyone think for a minute that CSI units actually work in dimly lit, moody laboratories and drive around in Hummers? It seems that when it came to Trauma, you either hated it or you loved it, but either way, it’s gone.

EMS Expo Video with Physio-Control on Lifepak 15 Monitor

How tough do you think we need to make equipment so that it won’t break or fail us in the field when paramedics and EMS providers need it most? That was one of the questions I had for engineers at the Physio-Control booth at the EMS Expo.
