In this episode, Samuel Kordik, Zach Dunlap, Lynne Singleton, and Steven Beesley discuss some of the recent protocol changes at Cypress Creek EMS relating to clinical care for COVID-19 patients. Specific items discussed include:
- Why there is no "cookbook recipe" for treating these patients.
- How we should approach being clinicians and making good judgement calls during this crisis.
- The primary focus we have in treating these patients is protecting ourselves and our future patients and doing what's right for patients.
- How to manage respiratory distress patients without using nebulized medications or CPAP.
- How to approach pre-oxygenation and RSI.
- The revised cardiac arrest algorithm
- And much more!
In this episode, we recommend being familiar with a wide range of inputs and approaches to treating these patients during this pandemic crisis.
