ER Innovation Series: PodCast I: AAJT-S (Abdominal Aortic & Junctional Tourniquet - Stabilized) We dive into the creation and evolution of the AAJT-S from its original design as the AAT through its current design & capabilities.  This is a jammed packed and heated discussion with Sean, JJ, and the co-inventor of the AAJT-S, Dr. John Croushorn.  Discussion points include;  Why the AAJT-S excels in rescue situations, How it compares to Zone 3 REBOA, How certain studies either input fraudulent bias or negligently ignore data, The extraordinarily low pain tolerances some physicians involved in a preferential research study apparently have to misinform readers, How JJ signed a contract written on a napkin, selling his soul at an Ozzy / Korn Concert many years ago, Why committees need to re-evaluate their position on medical items that exist in rescue contracts…and actually consider the context / environment in which these medical items will be utilized…or IEBM (Improved Environmental Based Medicine), and a bunch more…

This is part II of a two part podcast with Dr. Daved VanStralen discussing the topic of evidence based medicine and TCCC. We have taught and "preached" TCCC for over a decade, while defending the guidelines, equipment, and recommendations with the "mantra" evidence-based medicine. After years of unexplained failures and issues, we take a look at what "EBM" actually is, and whether its performance parameters are relevant to your operational parameters.

Casualty Management Disruption- Part I

Hacking Science with Ricky Ditzel, Esq. III- Lead R&D guy with SOM-C, the editor for the Journal of High Threat and Austere Medicine, and, flight medic in the Army.
In Part one of this two part discussion, Sean apologizes to Ricky and they discuss the first time they hugged at SOMSA.  Ricky spits out disruptive smart guy stuff like a lyrical genius…things like; calcium chloride, calcium gluconate, calcium neutral safe places, and something called DIC…which turned out to be totally different than what Ryan and Sean were thinking. Clotting cascade physiology, fibrinogen and fibrin, and, some info about his working group- which has smart guys with very odd initials and credentials after their names…Also...some protocol creations, a few specific dumb ass comments that others have made in opposition to Ricky's calcium crusade, a little flight medic insight with triage and hand-offs, but, most importantly…we discuss 3 other things, that when combined, will make you appear 33% better looking to 42% of the members of the opposite sex…FACT(ish).
