Reel Emergency

The call reviewed here is a tough one, because the patient is a first responder. You’ll hear footage of Vermont police officer who, while conducting a pursuit, goes into sudden cardiac arrest. Paramedic Sarah Lamb and her colleagues, mostly volunteers from Richmond Rescue and other parts of rural Vermont, respond to this and save the officer’s life. We review some of the clinical and operational aspects of the call, as well as the significant issues that arise with calls like these: most importantly, the heightened emotion, the post traumatic stress and the importance of first responders’ mental health.

This case includes footage from a police officer’s body cam as he manages the first critical minutes of a stabbing. Listen as he treats the patient’s wound and manages the scene until EMS arrives. The wound is in the hip and groin area, a spot where it is extremely difficult to gain control of the bleeding. This patient also happens to be receiving CPR from his wife, who is being instructed by the dispatcher. You'll also hear an incredibly helpful cadaver dissection to explain the A&P of the pelvic girdle. Join Drs. Antevy, Spiro and Piehl who review this case with special guests Marvin Wayne, Scotty Bolletor and Zach Dunlap.
