03:38
I'm a trooper flight paramedic with the Maryland state police. Been certified for quite a long time now. US ski and snowboard team. I'm headed to 2 Olympics next year.
07:14
"We have to be prepared for this," says Major League Baseball. "No matter how long you've been in the game, at some point, you'll have this in your career" "Be comfortable with yourself, your skills, your management so that you're ready"
10:42
As we start to increase our fine motor skills, and you see, Daryl has changed my yellow to maze. As we get into this this maze side, our heart rate starts to increase. This is a time that you can open the package on your airway.
13:54
In college setting, 91% of all injuries occur in practice and only 10% in games. All of these pieces of a safety equipment in some capacity have failed our athlete and our patient, and now they become a hindrance for our ability to provide this care. A team of experts is not an expert team.
17:31
The first thing we do, no matter whether they've got equipment or not, we have to be able to Identify these critical life threats, make our primary assessment, and think about the airway. If I'm administering CPR, how quickly can I get the defibrillator on? So now I've gotta start getting equipment out of the way.
21:12
Firefighters need to be able to expose and access act, access, vital life functions, to establish what we need to do. Practice and planning are key to getting the job done.
25:15
Most of our athletes will still have a gag reflex. This isn't going to work as well for us unless they're in prolonged respiratory failure. Nasopharyngeal is really great back up to that or another option to that.
28:37
Research shows that we are not able to adequately deliver good ventilation with good volume with chin straps in place. So we have to really think about what steps are we gonna take to allow us to provide good VVM access, to progress to our more advanced airways, and get the helmet off.
32:21
You need experience because with the limitations that a helmet's gonna put in in place, less experienced EMS provider is gonna struggle more, and you can see that there in the graph, you know, where some of the failures were.
36:18
Football particularly because of that size and the thickness both in the front and the back. We are not getting the adequate compression. And we're also not getting adequate recoil. Then we add in the airway component and we know that they need to have the helmet and shoulder pads both removed.
40:11
Athletic trainers and sideline care are most proficient at removing helmets face masks, shoulder pads. Know what your athletes are wearing. Know who's got the tools.
43:55
Only remove what's in the way of us doing our critical care. The last variable is always the weather. Remember the roles that you're gonna play may may vary as the initial responder.
47:32
"My big thing is don't practice till you get it right. Practice until you can't get it wrong," he says. "And times of stress, you will fall to the level of your training, not rise to your expectation"
51:06
The American Heart went into a team lead, situation with with cardiac arrest and ACLS. Think about, you know, football on the sidelines. You still got that spot or up above that is helping guide and direct.
54:43
Make sure if you can remove the helmet. Whatever you gotta do, you gotta deal with the air airway. Know what helmets are out there. Practice every day. Try to learn something new.
58:10
You know? And we we let practice fall by the wayside. If you can keep that as a higher priority, weekly, monthly, whatever the case may be, a journal club, a discussion group, even some of these discussion boards that are out Discord and some other, you know, some great resources out there on Facebook and otherwise. Now ask and think so that you can just train your thinking until you get your skills practice.
