"TRAINING FOR CHAOS"

EPISODE 2 - Zero Sum Game

A zero-sum game is a situation in which one person's gain is equivalent to another's loss, so that the net change in wealth or benefit is zero. In the rescue world this means we only risk what is equal to our projected outcome. However, that is never the case in a rescue! We are always going to risk more than we receive. That means there is always the possibility that someone will not be coming home.

Join us as we explore the controversy of risk and why the concept of "everyone goes home" has possibly made us so risk adverse that we may not be as effective in the field as we think.

This is our longest episode, but the talk and content makes you feeling like it hasn't been that long!

EPISODE 3 - Death to Verbalization

Welcome back! In this episode the gang discusses some common issues with training and more specifically, verbalization training. As the title suggests we are pushing for effective use and advocating for you to get more hands on in your training program. Verbalization can be a powerful tool, but it needs to be used appropriately. In many cases though hands on skills iterations are being replaced by lazy training practices, because it is easier, cheaper, and requires less planning on the instructors part. This has led to some bad outcomes and some unrealistic field expectations.

EPISODE 6 - EMS Medication "rights"

Whether you know the 5, 7, 12, or nursing 16 rights for safe medication administration, they are all in place for the same reason. That being to safely provide a medication to a patient in need. Human factors in medication error are real and relevant. There has been some discussion through the years that the “five rights” do not consider the several other human factors that can lead to medication administration errors. This version is what I have adapted to better fit the EMS and field work realm. Many of the other nursing versions are very similar but are more in-patient or hospital orientated. EMS being the black sheep of the health care system, most of the changes that can be researched do not directly apply to us or require some adaptations anyway. Take a listen as we explain what we are calling the 10 EMS "Rights" of Medication Administration.
