Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Clinical Updates: May 2026
Q: Is there one thing paramedics can do on their next shift that would contribute to cardiac arrest survival rates?
Focus on high-quality, continuous improvement in CPR; use team performance reports to identify where depth and rate of compressions can be improved, have open discussions with peers and educators, and apply targeted training to close gaps in performance—because even small gains in CPR quality can translate into more survivors and better neurological outcomes.
Paramedics DO diagnose: diagnostic safety with A/Professor Carmel Crock
Q: What is a diagnosis?
A diagnosis is an explanation of what's going on for a patient, a complex process that evolves over time and involves various healthcare roles, not just doctors.
Clinical Conversations: Medical Director Live Q&A
Q: What should mycoparametics do in cases of unconscious patients with no airway reflexes?
David explains that unassisted intubation is no longer supported in those cases; instead, resuscitation should be prioritized before considering intubation.
Clinical Conversations: Medical Director Live Q&A
Q: Why is crash induction only available to MICA paramedics and not road paramedics?
David discusses the historical context of crash RSI and the operational decision to keep the practice limited to MICA paramedics due to safety and training considerations.
Clinical Conversations: Medical Director Live Q&A
Q: Why do we give salbutamol pressurized metadose inhalers only for COPD?
David explains that cost and efficacy are considered for treatment decisions, stating that COPD patients are less responsive to bronchodilators compared to asthma patients, and long-acting anti-muscarinic agents are often already prescribed.
