  • Great Content

    Great content, insights, and interviews. Often terrible audio mixing and quality. (Loud music, quiet guests. Feedback from zoom. Etc.)

    I can’t wait to listen more as they get the quality/sound issues fixed. Keep up the good work!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Infection Control in Extreme Environments: Lessons from MERS, COVID and Saudi Arabia’s Frontline
Q: What advice would you give to health care professionals specializing in infection control and microbiology in the field of extreme medicine?
Receive thorough training in microbiology and infection control, maintain ongoing refreshers, and plan for working with potentially limited resources where you may be the sole trained individual, including having a small toolkit of essential supplies and knowing when to transfer patients to higher-level care.
Infection Control in Extreme Environments: Lessons from MERS, COVID and Saudi Arabia’s Frontline
Q: Could you discuss common misconceptions about infection control in extreme medicine and how to address them?
Misconceptions often stem from a lack of awareness about the scope of extreme medicine; comprehensive certification and ongoing training, plus leadership modeling of best practices, are essential to set correct expectations and ensure consistent hygiene, hand washing, and PPE use across teams.
Infection Control in Extreme Environments: Lessons from MERS, COVID and Saudi Arabia’s Frontline
Q: Could you speak to the role of leadership in maintaining infection control standards under high pressure during emergencies?
Leadership established clear, daily, high-visibility guidance through live task force meetings, centralized communications, and strict adherence to protocols, which helped unify actions across ministries, hospitals, and regions and ensured rapid, coordinated responses.
Infection Control in Extreme Environments: Lessons from MERS, COVID and Saudi Arabia’s Frontline
Q: Could you speak to some of the most effective infection control measures that you carried forward from MERS-CoV to inform future outbreaks like COVID-19?
A combination of intensive training, national surveillance, rapid establishment of a task force, and widespread public education created a robust framework that could be adapted quickly when COVID-19 emerged, enabling better coordination and more consistent application of PPE and infection control across facilities.
Beyond the Ambulance: Paramedics in Primary Care with Simon Robinson
Q: Could you speak to how prescribing and where prescribing needs to get to really for the current day practice?
Prescribing has evolved, and while the inclusion of controlled substances is beneficial, there's still room for further development in paramedic prescribing practices.
