Pediatric airways are rare, difficult, and stressful….how do we handle them? By getting rid of advanced practice, or by training, oversight and preparation? Guess which side we picked!
We look at the controversy around paramedic intubation…why, who should do it, and what they need to succeed consistently.
We take a look at some entertaining EMS T-shirts…

Ed and Dan discuss the career opportunities that EMS providers have. Career mobility is a significant concern to those who are entering the EMS field, and is something that is often ignored when new people join our ranks. The bureau of labor statistics in the United States reports that the job outlook for EMTs and paramedics is "better than average", yet we see a 10-12% attrition in the industry.
