Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep. 55: The Sum of All Efforts Share On... by Air Methods posted December 11, 2025 Extreme weather once again plays an important factor in this month’s case where our team comes upon a car accident victim who has a litany of injuries that make care extremely challenging, even in optimal conditions. Featuring a pilot for the first time ever in AMPED history, we hear from our clinicians about how to give our patient the best shot at survival, and from our pilot about the many considerations he has to make in order to expedite his arrival at a care facility. Hear these unique insights in this fascinating episode of AMPED. We’re joined by Danica Mainridge RN, BSN, CEN, CPEN, CCRN, CFRN; Megan Thompson, RN, MSN, MBA, CEN, CFRN, TCRN, TNS, CES-A; and Mikaele Kerner, Helicopter Pilot.
