Episode 55: Outbreak EMS

Dan and Ed sit down on short notice to get some information together about what we as EMS clinicians are up against with the arrival of novel coronavirus.

This is a totally off-label discussion about personal protective equipment, airway management, patient assessment, and items that we are seeing on social media and the FOAMed world.

Please follow your local policies and guidelines, and involve your medical director and leadership with any modifications to your practice.

Follow us at Overrun Productions' YouTube channel, and the MD1 Program YouTube channel for daily updates and practice tips. Leave us questions in the comments section, and we can have our medical director, Dr. Mark Merlin, share his answers on them!
