Journal Club
Monthly on the first Wednesday from 1700-1800 on Microsoft Teams, here.
By Riley Long, Field Training Officer | EMTThe Prehospital Journal Club for Evidence-Based Practices started out from my experiences in research where it is commonplace for labs to meet monthly to discuss literature in the field of study. I wanted to translate that to the field of prehospital medicine and provide prehospital providers with the information necessary to ensure we consistently provide high-quality evidence-based care. We meet once a month on the first Wednesday from 1700-1800 addressing a wide variety of different topics in prehospital medicine.
Some notable topics we have discussed include prehospital blood administration, POCUS for cardiac arrest care and for differentiating CHF vs. COPD exacerbation, REBOA for non-extremity hemorrhage, the debate between supraglottic airways vs. endotracheal intubation, as well as a whole host of other new innovative ideas being studied in the prehospital field.
