Air Methods, a leading air medical service provider in the U.S., launches the second episode of its new podcast, AMPED (Air Methods Prehospital Education), on Wednesday, Mar. 17. The podcast, which was introduced last month, focuses on prehospital and in-hospital care and sheds light on the unique and challenging clinical scenarios faced by emergency medical crews..

“Medicine is an ongoing educational and evolutionary process,” said Joe Hill, RN, clinical director for Air Methods and co-creator of AMPED. “AMPED serves as a first-of-its-kind platform in which air medical and in-hospital clinicians can share their stories from the frontlines and learn from each other’s unique experiences in providing lifesaving care.”

Hills hosts the podcast with Hawnwan “Phil” Moy, MD, Medical Director for ARCH, Air Methods Illinois and Missouri; and John Wilmas, MD, Medical Director for ARCH, Air Methods Illinois and Missouri. Collectively, the three hosts bring decades of experience in emergency medical services to the table, along with an array of diverse perspectives.

Emergency medical crews encounter extraordinary obstacles on a daily basis that require significant expertise and the ability to handle highly stressful situations. They also often serve as the lifeline for patients in rural areas who do not have access to critical or emergent care. By providing a lens into the air medical profession, AMPED aims to foster greater understanding and respect among healthcare providers of all specialties.

In this week’s episode, the hosts and their guests discuss critical questions around the cause of a patient’s shock, along with issues that could make the situation fatal. They examine a systematic approach to patient care based on a fundamental understanding of types of shock, determining the cause, and choosing the right treatment.

In the inaugural episode last month, the hosts interviewed a flight nurse about a case in which a patient was thrown from a motorcycle at 105 mph and needed emergency transport. The nurse recounted the unique details of the case and his medical decision-making process that ensured the patient received the highest quality care while in transport to the hospital.

AMPED is available on Apple Podcast, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, and more. To listen to the podcast and to see available streaming options, visit https://ampedpodcast.libsyn.com/amped. To join the conversation, use the hashtag #AMPEDpod on social media.
