Epinephrine is a cornerstone of medical cardiac arrest, but does it provide the same benefit in traumatic cardiac arrest (TCA)? Emerging research challenges long-held protocols, suggesting this go-to drug may not be the life-saver we assume it is—and could even cause harm. Host Bram Duffee, PhD, EMT-P, explores a groundbreaking study that could change how we manage these critical patients. This episode unpacks a February 2025 study in Prehospital Emergency Care that analyzed over 1,600 out-of...

🪖🪖Severe Hemorrhage Technology Developed by Army Researchers
Severe hemorrhage is one of the toughest challenges faced in the pre-hospital environment, especially when every second counts and resources are limited. But a recent study on the use of 25% human serum albumin (HSA) in trauma care could change how responders approach these critical moments. The study was led by United States Army Scientist Alex Penn, Ph.D. The findings from his team suggest that this concentrated protein solution can stabilize blood pressure, reduce the need for additional f...
