  Hyperkalemia: When Calcium Helps vs Hurts

  Apr 16, 202622 minS3

  <p>In this QuikCrit, we break down when calcium actually helps in hyperkalemia, and when it doesn’t.</p><p>Starting with a crashing patient and a wide QRS, we walk through the cardiac action potential, why hyperkalemia slows conduction, and how calcium stabilizes the myocardium without lowering potassium.</p><p>We cover:</p>Why Vₘ follows potassium (Vₘ ≈ Eₖ)How calcium raises threshold potential and restores conductionECG changes in hyperkalemiaCalcium chloride vs gluconateThe role of calcium in PEA arrestWhy giving calcium blindly may not help, and may cause harm<p>Bottom line:</p><p>Calcium isn’t a routine arrest drug...

  Experience vs Exposure

  Apr 5, 20261h 8mS3

  <p>After a brief Spring break, The NewlyMeds is back with a conversation on one of the biggest questions in EMS: does time on the job actually make you better, or does real exposure, repetition, and continuous learning matter more? In this episode, we break down the difference between years of experience and meaningful experience, skill degradation in low-volume systems, confidence versus competence, and why evidence-based practice has to keep pushing EMS forward. We also talk rural vs urban volume, the value of simulation and training, and why every patient contact, including IFTs, can be a rep that makes you...

  Sepsis in the Field: How One EMS System Brought Antibiotics Prehospital

  Feb 1, 20261h 18mS3

  <p>Sepsis is one of the most common and deadly emergencies we see, and it often presents quietly before crashing hard. In this episode, we’re joined by Zac, a deputy chief at a Pennsylvania EMS agency launching a first-of-its-kind pilot program in the state for prehospital antibiotics in suspected sepsis. We break down practical sepsis recognition in the field, why early treatment matters, and how clinical judgment beats rigid checklists alone. Zac walks us through the real work behind the pilot: antibiotic stewardship, drawing clean blood cultures before antibiotics, aligning with hospital sepsis bundles, crew training, documentation, and making al...

  Pharm Foundations: Levophed, Ancef, and Early Shock Management

  Jan 15, 202627 minS3

  <p>In this episode of the NewlyMeds Podcast, we go back to pharmacology basics with a focused deep dive into two critical medications we’re seeing more and more in EMS: norepinephrine (Levophed) and cefazolin (Ancef).</p><p>We break down how norepinephrine works at a physiologic and cellular level, why it’s become a first-line vasopressor in shock, and what matters when titrating pressors in critically ill patients. We also walk through cefazolin from the ground up, including bacterial cell wall physiology, beta-lactam antibiotics, and why early antibiotic administration plays a major role in trauma, sepsis, and septic shock outc...

  Endocrine Collapse: Thyroid and Adrenal Crisis

  Jan 3, 20261h 22mS3

  <p>Welcome to Season 3 of TheNewlyMeds! Today starts with a classic “not acting like herself” call that looks like sepsis, until it isn’t. Dan and Wil break down the endocrine emergencies EMS can miss when we anchor on infection.</p><p>We cover thyroid and adrenal crises that can silently worsen, then crash fast: Graves and thyrotoxicosis, thyroid storm, apathetic hyperthyroidism in older adults, myxedema coma, Addison’s disease and adrenal crisis, plus Cushing syndrome. You’ll get practical prehospital recognition tips you can use without labs, along with what matters most in the field: airway, temperature, rhythms, glucose, fluids, an...
