Any provider who has done compressions on a cardiac arrest patient for an extended period of time knows how grueling it can be.

At EMS Expo, we had the opportunity to interview one of the engineers from Physio-Control who devises the tests that simulate real EMS field punishment. EMTs and paramedics can be a bit hard on their equipment and you need to have a rugged cardiac monitor to stand up to weather, falls, and other abuses in the field. Check out the video.

MedicCast EMS podcast host Jamie Davis, the Podmedic interviewed paramedic filmmaker Ted Setla at the EMS Expo this week. Ted is the creator of an amazing documentary, “Level Zero” about the lives of a group of Alameda County, California EMS providers.
Jamie and Ted discussed the film and how the public may view this groundbreaking project for a limited time for free during the EMS Expo and online. Check out the interview about the Level Zero EMS documentary at the MedicCast site.

The MedicCast EMS podcast is scheduled to kick of its EMS Expo Live coverage tomorrow at Noon ET. You will want to follow it here if you are not available to attend in person. I am expecting a special guest or two to join me on the stage to discuss some special request EMS tips so make sure you stop by.
I’ll be posting updates here over the next few days as well as over at the MedicCast EMS podcast site. If you are attending the expo, you can help out with our podcast coverage. Chris Montera, Greg Friese and I are looking for your favorite products seen at the EMS Expo. Stop by our booth and share your picks with us so we can go take a look for ourselves and maybe feature it in a video product review.
On Friday morning, Chris, Greg and I will make our favorite product innovators choices. You can help contribute to our decision. We’ll also pick our favorite swag item, too so keep your eyes open!
See you all tomorrow!
