Before hypertension reaches its complications, patients with hypertension are given medications to be taken everyday to maintain their blood pressure at normal. There are different antihypertensives given to individual patients. Though these all work to lower the blood pressure, it differs in the mechanism in which they work. The types of antihypertensives include beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, ACE inhibitors, diuretics, adrenergic modifiers, Angiotensin II receptor blockers and other combination medications. It is important for EMS providers to be knowledgeable of these medications to be able to provide correct information for patients with queries or for those who need further understanding of their medication. For more information on antihypertensive medications and their basic drug information, follow the links below.

As we enter the fall season and football season as well, EMS providers should be ready to respond to increased incidence of these types of injuries. One definition of concussion [from webmd.com] is a condition in which there is a traumatically induced alteration in mental status, with or without an associated loss of consciousness (LOC). A broader definition for concussion is a traumatically induced physiologic disruption in brain function that is manifest by LOC, memory loss, alteration of mental state or personality, or focal neurologic deficits. Concussions usually result in relatively temporary impairment of neurologic function. In assessing concussions, emergency responders should always be ready with their assessment tools such as the Glascow Coma Scale, to assess the LOC; and the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool (SCAT).

Different procedures are done to adults everyday but providers rarely perform invasive procedures to children. With such limited actual experience, it is easy to see how real-life proficiency in these procedures is difficult, if not nearly impossible, to maintain. This week's tip gives providers a step by step review on how to manage pediatric airway. This discussion provides the different skills stations to be performed during the NREMT testing for pediatric airway management. Emergency medicine providers can refer to the links below for more information on the pediatric ventilatory management skills station and tips on how to manage respiratory arrest in children.

In asking for information, the interviewer should not only look into what the patient is saying but also on the non-verbal cues and the cohesion of ideas and derive their assessment from that. The provider should also be aware that not all alterations in behavior are from psychiatric causes. They should also consider and assess for low blood sugar, lack of oxygen, head trauma, extreme temperatures and substance use.For both behavioral and psychiatric patients, emergency responder and patient safety should always be first on the list. Though not all behavioral patients may be a threat, it will never hurt to always be careful. For more information on how to assess behavioral and psychiatric patients, EMS students and providers can follow the links provided below

This medication is mainly used for minor pain and aches and for fever reduction. Since this is a common drug taken by most people, providers of emergency medicine should be aware of the basics of this drug to be able to be able to entertain queries from patients and provide the correct information and avoid overdosing or under dosing on the drug. Knowing information like how it works, its interactions with other drugs, and contraindications is also necessary to avoid unwanted side effects that can arise.

At the meeting, they all discovered that their respective countries had similar rural health issues. It is very interesting to note that all systems which developed “Community Paramedic / Paramedic Practitioner” programs did so as the direct result of public pressure for service or a sudden change in the health care human resources dynamic of their areas. It is also interesting to note that EMS systems were not seen as part of the primary care continuum until most other options were exhausted. Now, the IRCP is on its 6th Convention which was held at Vail, Colorado. Learn from his coverage what exactly is community paramedicine, what it's aimed at and how you can start community paramedicine in your region or area and how you can really reach out to the community.

In cases of drug or substance toxicity, one of the first things they do inspect the area for pill bottles or chemical containers that may have been the cause of toxicity. In the absence of such evidence, they will have to rely on their assessment  skills and observe the patient's symptoms to determine which substance is most likely involved. In considering toxicological cause, there are toxic syndromes that we can watch for. Toxic syndromes or toxidromes are groups of signs and symptoms that suggest certain types of drugs or chemicals as the cause. Looking at vital signs and symptoms involving the central nervous system, gastrointestinal system, eyes, skin and mucous membranes, and genitourinary system can provide clues to the toxicological origin of the patient’s illness. The four toxidromes that health care providers should know about include anticholinergic, cholinergic, opioid and sympathomimetic or stimulant toxidrome.

This inflammation causes airways to tighten and narrow, which blocks air from flowing freely into the lungs, making it hard to breathe. Symptoms include wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and cough, particularly at night or after exercise/activity. Asthma usually has many causes or triggers. The triggers that may result to the occurrence of asthma include respiratory infections, allergens, irritants, weather changes, activities, GERD, upper airway inflammation and emotional factors. A high percentage of children with asthma also has some type of allergy, the allergy isn’t always the primary cause of asthma. Even if allergies are not primary triggers for asthma they can still make symptoms worse. The goals of asthma therapy are to prevent chronic and troublesome symptoms, to maintain lung function as close to normal as possible, maintenance of normal physical activity levels, to prevent recurrent asthma attacks and to reduce the need for emergency department visits or hospitalizations, and to provide medicines that give the best results with the fewest side effects. Medications for asthma include inhaled corticosteroids, and long-acting bronchodilators.

She suggested the topic for this week’s episode and was gracious enough to come on the show live and share her thoughts about receiving radio patient information in the ER. Also, a thank you to Dr. Craig Corey for taking the time to write his thoughts down even though he couldn’t be on the show live. Craig is the inventor of the OxyPhone pediatric nebulizer device. You’ll find that and Dr. Corey’s home page at OxyPhone.com (http://oxyphone.com/). The central point brought out by both of these ER docs was that we must get to the point of the call quickly, focusing on the key problem, immediate life threats and interventions taken, time to the hospital, etc. and then let the ER ask any follow up questions. Vitals are important but not as important as patient’s chief complaint and your impression of the stability of the patient. Ginger also stressed the importance of talking to the physician after the call to learn from what you saw or did during the transport to the hospital. She said that her respect for the EMT or paramedic rises significantly when they want to learn from the calls – good and bad. —- Some other links: Study on protocols versus online medical control (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9209228) Online radio report outline (http://www.mercymemorial.org/EMS/radio_reports.htm) ---------------------------- Contact Me!

Most often, whatever they pick up goes straight to their mouth which makes them prone to things like choking, GI disorders and yes, poisoning. To be able to initiate interventions, it is important to know the agent that the child ingested. EMS providers should look around and be aware of the objects in the child's environment and the substances found that they could possibly ingest. It is also important to assess carefully for the different signs and symptoms that the child is exhibiting. If the child is symptomatic, obtaining the history of ingestion is also helpful. Since lead and iron are some of the most common substances that cause pediatric poisonings, providers should also be aware of the signs and symptoms and emergency treatment of lead and iron poisoning. Teaching the parents or caregivers about how and where they can get poisoned by these substances, how they should store chemicals, as well as how they educate the children about medications would be key to the prevention of pediatric poisonings.
