EMS leaders need the best tools at a reasonable cost in order to provide treatment for their communities.  Chris Cebollero, host of the EMS Leadership Podcast got the chance to chat with Amy Smith from ZOLL about the RescueNet software and the 12-Lead transmission tools that are now available for free to emergency medical services systems from the Ambulance to the Hospital. Built using open architecture, the RescueNet software includes free to use and access APIs that allow any monitor or defibrillator vendor to write code to access and transmit to the RescueNet system.

Product Innovator – B.E.A.R. from Beariatrics.com

At EMS Today 2011 in March, we picked from among the thousands of products in the exhibit hall a few standout product innovators. This was Chris Montera’s pick for the show and a good choice it was! With the increased scrutiny on proper transport and equipment for Bariatric patients, a simple and elegant solution to retaining a sizable abdomen in the midline on a top-heavy stretcher is important.

Keith Ishida and the Beariatrics Equalizing Abdominal Restraint (BEARiatrics.com) has solved that problem without significantly adding to the weight of an already hefty transport situation. View the video short segment from our finale episode recorded in March earlier this year.

One of the most passionately argued subjects in the EMS world is whether or not to continue to allow ALS providers like paramedics and medics in the field utilize advanced airways like ET tubes for patient airway management in critical situations.

Both sides cite studies that support their positions but none of the studies is designed around the unique EMS environment and patient care situations. What is the current consensus among the experts and medical directors? Are there any well designed studies on prehospital health care intubation?

This episode of the JEMSCast is recorded live at EMS Today 2011 in Baltimore from the Medtronic Foundation sponsored Podcast Studio.  Co-hosts Jennifer Berry from JEMS Magazine and Chris Montera, from the EMS Garage podcast lead a discussion on what the panels at EMS Today are saying about this subject.
