  • Great Pod For Medical Pros (and wannabe-pros)

    This is one (if of not the best) wilderness medicine-based podcasts. Love the focus on practical applications, real world scenarios, helpful hypotheticals, and a focus on matrix/evidence based decision making.

    Especially love the new Avy series—would love further deep dives such as pressure Illness (bends, altitude, etc), heat illness, parasites, interviews with other educators/providers (the current have been great), or drownings etc.

    P.S. I’m ... more

Ep. 18 - Ketamine for Wilderness Pain Management with Dr. Christopher Van Tilburg
Q: How do you decide when to re-dose ketamine during an extraction?
In chaotic rescue situations, I often wait for the patient to indicate they are in pain rather than strictly monitoring time, due to the various tasks at hand.

Ketamine can perform many functions required in such settings and has fewer severe side effects compared to opioids, making it a more practical choice in the wilderness.
