Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep. 39: Don't Let the Perfect Be the Enemy of the Good
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.

Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep 38: Going the Distance No Matter What
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 to learn more.

Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep 36: Sometimes the Solution Is Obscure
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.

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.

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 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? Visit to learn more.

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: Jeff Chesleigh (pictured center), FP-C.

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.

Pregnancy complications are always difficult to manage. Managing these complications in the air puts a whole new spin on the topic. In this episode the AMPED team discusses a case in which Air Methods crew members had to transfer a patient with an abrupted placenta AND an open abdomen. We discuss the similarities in how treating a patient with an abruptio placentae is like treating a trauma patient. But we also discuss how treating a patient with aburptio placentae is different than treating a trauma patient. Check out this episode where we discuss these subtle diagnostic and treatment differences with our special guest: Dr. Berry Campbell, OB/GYN physician and Medical Director for Air Methods.

In the movie Jurassic Park, Dr. Ian Malcolm (played by Jeff Goldblum) says this about the butterfly effect as it relates to chaos theory, "A butterfly can flap its wings in [Beijing], and in Central Park, you get rain instead of sunshine.” The metaphor is used to describe how seemingly minor events can have grand consequences much further down the line. On this episode of AMPED, an accident on a rural farm, a seemingly banal scheduling happenstance, and a series of decisions borne out of circumstance result in remarkable change for the state of New York, and a policy that affects the ability of first responders to do their jobs.

Did you misread that title? Maybe you did and maybe you didn't.
