Exploring Near Death Experiences (NDEs)

Exploring Near-Death Experiences (NDEs): This week we discuss various patient experiences, and give overviews of some recent studies investigating the phenomenon of NDEs in survivors of cardiac arrest. We discuss potential implications of these experiences for resuscitation practice, pontificate whether teams can integrate NDE awareness into patient-centered care. A true intersection of critical care, neuroscience, and patient experience. Have you heard of your patients experiencing NDEs? #NearDeathExperience #NDEresearch #cardiacarrest #nursing #resuscitation #criticalcare #CPR #cardiology #neuroscience #patientcare #evidencebasedpractice #postresuscitation #ethics #EMS #MedEd

GLP-1 Boom (Part 2): Side Effects, Stopping & the Team Approach

The conversation continues with registered dietitian Lori DeCosta back for more. In Part 2, we get into the day-to-day reality of life on a GLP-1: the nausea, vomiting, and GI side effects that cause many people to quit even when the drug is working. We also tackle one of the biggest questions surrounding these medications: what happens when you stop? From rapid weight regain to a surprising reversal of cardiovascular benefits, the answer is more serious than most people realize. Plus, we talk about why a team approach, including a registered dietitian, can make all the difference, and why the mental health benefits of GLP-1s deserve more attention than they're getting. If you're on this medication, thinking about it, or just trying to separate the hype from the reality, this one's for you. #GLP1 [https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/all/?keywords=%23glp1&origin=HASH_TAG_FROM_FEED] #Semaglutide [https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/all/?keywords=%23semaglutide&origin=HASH_TAG_FROM_FEED] #Diabetes [https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/all/?keywords=%23diabetes&origin=HASH_TAG_FROM_FEED] #WeightLoss [https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/all/?keywords=%23weightloss&origin=HASH_TAG_FROM_FEED] #MetabolicHealth [https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/all/?keywords=%23metabolichealth&origin=HASH_TAG_FROM_FEED] #MedicationSafety [https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/all/?keywords=%23medicationsafety&origin=HASH_TAG_FROM_FEED] #ClinicalEvidence [https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/all/?keywords=%23clinicalevidence&origin=HASH_TAG_FROM_FEED] #PatientEducation [https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/all/?keywords=%23patienteducation&origin=HASH_TAG_FROM_FEED] #HealthcareAccess [https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/all/?keywords=%23healthcareaccess&origin=HASH_TAG_FROM_FEED] #CodeHeads [https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/all/?keywords=%23codeheads&origin=HASH_TAG_FROM_FEED] #Podcast [https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/all/?keywords=%23podcast&origin=HASH_TAG_FROM_FEED] #MedEd [https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/all/?keywords=%23meded&origin=HASH_TAG_FROM_FEED] #RegisteredDietician [https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/all/?keywords=%23registereddietician&origin=HASH_TAG_FROM_FEED] #HealthandWellness [https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/all/?keywords=%23healthandwellness&origin=HASH_TAG_FROM_FEED] #Nursing #Nutrition #Wellness

The GLP-1 Boom: Benefits, Side Effects, and Big Questions

GLP-1 medications are everywhere right now, praised for dramatic weight loss and better blood sugar control, but also raising important questions about side effects, long-term safety, and access. In this episode, we break down how these drugs actually work, who benefits most, common adverse effects, and practical issues patients and clinicians should consider. Whether you’re curious about the science or wondering if the hype matches reality, this is a clear, balanced look at one of the biggest shifts in modern medicine. #GLP1 #GLP1Agonist #WeightLoss #Diabetes #MetabolicHealth#CardioHealth #MedicationSafety #HealthTrends #Wellness #Semaglutide#Liraglutide #Pharmacology #PatientEducation #ClinicalEvidence #LongTermSafety#MedicationSideEffects #HealthcareAccess #MedicalNews #MedEd #PublicHealth

🎙️Ask a CodeHead! Myths We Wish You'd Stop Believing

n this episode of CodeHeads' listener Q&A segment "As a CodeHead," we answer a listener question about the biggest myths around cardiac arrest and resuscitation — from "only paramedics can save a life" to "CPR always causes harm" and the idea that a code blue means the patient is already gone. We unpack why these myths persist, review evidence-based perspectives, discuss team roles during a code blue, and give practical tips to improve recognition, response, and outcomes. #CodeHeads #AskACodeHead #CardiacArrest #CodeBlue #CPRMyths #Resuscitation #EmergencyMedicine #SuddenCardiacArrest #BLS #ACLS #HospitalMedicine #RescueTeam #SurvivalChain #EMS #Nursing

Context is King: Reality-Based CPR Training

This week on Codeheads, we’re breaking CPR out of the classroom and throwing it into the real world. Becauselet’s be honest, codes don’t happen on clean floors and tables with perfect lighting and neatly placed equipment. We dive into what it actually means to train for reality: adapting CPR education to the environments people work in, whether that’s the back of an ambulance, a crowded ER, or a chaotichospital ward. From space constraints and team dynamics to noise, stress, and unpredictability, we explore how context changes everything—and why your training should reflect that. Train where you work. Train how you practice.Because when it’s go time, there’s no such thing as a simulation.  #CPRTraining #MedicalSimulation #HealthcareEducation#EMS #NursingEducation #Paramedic  #CodeBlue #MedEd #CodeHeads #TrainforReality
