A gruesome head-on motorcycle accident causes this month's patient a litany of injuries. He has bilateral femur fractures, a large open wound on his abdomen and much more... and he's awake the whole time. He is cognizant, lucid, and chatting with our team through the entire ordeal. Is he experiencing neurogenic shock? And if he is experiencing neurogenic shock, can he be electrically paced? There's no standard guidance on this exact scenario. Tune into this episode of AMPED to find out what our team did and what the ultimate result is. Interested in obtaining CE credit for this episode? Visit OnlineAscend.com to learn more.

A seemingly simple heart attack gives our team pause because the patient presents a litany of conflicting symptoms. Should our team send him to have a stent put in right away - as is standard procedure - or do they wait to address the other symptoms and risk muscle damage? What would you do if you were in their position? Our hosts consider the symptoms and give their own recommendations while our team shares what actually unfolded. The lesson is that if something feels a bit off, it's important to listen to your intuition. Interested in obtaining CE credit for this episode? Visit OnlineAscend.com to learn more.

A motorcycle accident victim faces dire circumstances and our team has to execute a new procedure that is rarely done in the field and has a high degree of risk if not done correctly. They are one of the only teams in the region equipped to even do such a procedure, and our team is concerned about doing it correctly because a lot can go wrong. Could you do a procedure you don't normally do with an audience? Because in addition to having to execute for the good of the patient, our team had the patient's family, other first responders and more watching them. Listen in as our team tackles another fascinating case on this episode of AMPED. Interested in obtaining CE credit for this episode? Visit OnlineAscend.com to learn more.

Summer season has our clinicians busy and therefore we are re-sharing Episode 35 featuring the harrowing journey of a brave 10 year-old boy. See you next month with fresh content! As first responders, the odds of patient survival are not always in our favor. But that does not stop us from working quickly to provide the highest level of care for the chances of defying those odds. In this episode, a 10 year-old boy wrecks on his bicycle, a fairly common occurrence and one that rarely requires air transport, yet when our team arrives on scene, his vitals crash in front of their very eyes. What's going on? And what actions do they take to save his life? An inspirational, harrowing and odds-defying episode of AMPED awaits you this holiday season.

Sometimes the hardest part is the waiting. When our team is dispatched to a scene where a man who does not speak English is trapped inside a confined space with possible crush injuries, hypothermia and hyperkalemia, they must wait for him to be extricated. How do you stand that interminable time? How do you stay ready? And then how do you switch from inaction to action once it's time? Our team tackles yet another unique case in this month's episode.

When our team is dispatched in the middle of the night to a hospital that almost never calls them requesting air transport for a case of an obstructed airway that doesn't, at first blush, seem like it warrants it, our team approaches with caution and curiosity. When they arrive, something doesn't add up and they first opt to phone the on-call doctor to explain the situation, and then dig deep into their bag of tricks - a la famous, resourceful TV character MacGyver - to improvise a unique solution.

Any pediatric case comes with a higher degree of tension due to a variety of factors including compensatory responses to distress leading to a precarious "cliff" when those compensatory efforts cease. When our team is dispatched to a 5 year-old child struggling to breathe, yet still shows strong vital signs, how will the AMPED team respond? This episode discusses at great length understanding that even though we should strive for perfection in every action we take, sometimes "good" is good enough because recovery is a long road and there are skilled and caring teams awaiting us when we hand off our patients.

By necessity, our teams are dispatched to most extreme, most rare, most complex, and sometimes most hopeless-seeming cases any patient could ever experience. It would be easy to look at certain cases - like say, a man whose legs are stuck in a concrete augur on a precarious platform with injuries that are intermingled and devastating - and assess that he's not going to make it. Our Air Methods team uses creativity, determination, skill and compassion to exhaust every possible method to help our patients achieve even the slimmest possibility of survival. This month's story is one such story of going the distance no matter what. Interested in obtaining CE credit for this episode? Visit OnlineAscend.com to learn more.

Our profession requires extensive and exhaustive training. Much of it can seem esoteric and possibly unnecessary at the time, but we train on all of these things for a reason. When our team comes upon a severely burned patient, they extent of the burns causes a melange of difficulties. Could an obscure, and rarely used, procedure ultimately help and provide the patient more time? The AMPED team discusses this little-used technique and we discuss the importance of remaining familiar with the abundance of techniques and treatments we learn during our training.

Things are not as they seem on this month's episode of AMPED. Our team arrives on scene to find first responders dealing with a chemical burn and administering CPR. But something is amiss.

In a Florida nature park, a woman is bitten by a snake, which is not terribly uncommon in this part of the country. What is unusual is her reaction to it, which is severely anaphylactic. With limited resources in the sprawling park, a closing window for treatment, and critical decisions to be made instantly, how will the team assess, handle and treat our patient in this week's episode? And why such a severe reaction? Find out when you tune in. Interested in obtaining CE credit for this episode? Visit OnlineAscend.com to learn more.

Our teams at Air Methods have many checklists they follow to ensure optimal care for each patient. What happens when our teams have to pivot their approach and their treatments because of the uniqueness of each individual? On this episode, our team tends to a car crash victim whose injuries make traditional methods of care impossible, and the team is forced to pivot multiple times to provide treatment. This episode also tackles the question of when it's appropriate to give the patient's family the gift of a goodbye. Interested in obtaining CE credit for this episode?

Hot on the heels of Ep. 31, which featured the Air Methods team taking care of one of their own, we return with bonus content. It's rare that we get to talk to the patient of one of our cases, and even rarer that the patient is also one of our clinicians. In this bonus interview, we share more of our conversation with Jeff Chesleigh as he divulges what it was like to code multiple times, his thought process during the ordeal, how his approach to patients going through a similar experience has changed, and the aftermath of the event. The conversation is riveting and informative. We are joined by:

Our Air Methods crew always pride themselves on providing the highest level of care to each and every patient they encounter. But what happens when the patient is one of their own? What happens when he codes multiple times from a myocardial infarction? Further compounding the issue is that many of the resources used to treat MI are unavailable in this rural area.

Sometimes during a medical event, a team can make all the correct choices and still lose a patient. In this episode, a patient experiencing angioedema presents our team with choices that are all undeniably fraught and filled with risk. As they relive the event, they discuss how they cope when things don't work out as they hoped, how they try to use the experience for future cases, and the importance of the support and communication of your colleagues.
