Our podcast, AMPED (Air Methods Prehospital EDucation) has returned with another episode this month! The podcast, which launched earlier this year, is designed for prehospital and in-hospital care providers and sheds light on the unique and challenging clinical scenarios faced by our emergency medical crews. It is a first-of-its-kind platform in which air medical and in-hospital clinicians share their stories from the frontlines and learn from one another’s unique experiences in providing lifesaving care.
In our previous episode, the team discussed ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation). As ECMO has shifted from tertiary care centers to rural facilities, the transport of these patients has increased. Like any medical procedure, there are inherent risks with the transport of these patients.
This month the team is joined by Russell Haight MBA, CCRN, Lanika Tucker RN, Thomas Crain Clinical Director at Air Methods, and Bryan E. Love MD, Trauma Surgeon to dissect a compelling case of a critically ill patient treated in a mass casualty situation.
In critical care situations, it takes a village… One critical trauma patient can overwhelm the resources of a transport team. But what if you show up and there are 2? Or 3? Or… 25?!? They cover crucial triage decisions, a rare but severe traumatic injury, and stress the importance of falling back to our training.
The podcast is hosted by Joe Hill, Hawnwan “Phil” Moy, and John Wilmas, MD, who collectively, bring decades of experience in emergency medical services and an array of diverse perspectives to the table.
AMPED is available on Apple Podcast, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, and more. To listen to the episode or catch up on past discussions, visit https://ampedpodcast.libsyn.com/. To join the conversation, use the hashtag #AMPEDpod on social media.
Our podcast, AMPED (Air Methods Prehospital Education) is back this week with a new installment. The podcast, which launched in early 2021, is designed for prehospital and in-hospital care providers and sheds light on the unique and challenging clinical scenarios faced by our emergency medical crews. It is a first-of-its-kind platform in which air medical and in-hospital clinicians can share their stories from the frontlines and learn from one-another’s unique experiences in providing lifesaving care.
In our previous episode, flight nurse Christopher Becker recounted his transport of a sick patient in shock. The AMPED Podcast crew, with the help of ICU docs Dr. Brian Fuller and Dr. Amjad Musleh, discussed the different types of shock and diagnosing its states.
In this week’s episode, airing Wednesday, we address treatment options for this patient. The AMPED team with Dr. Fuller, Dr. Musleh, and our new guest, Dr. Eliza Dunn, discuss which vasopressors, inotropes, or inodilators would be most helpful when treating this patient.
The podcast is hosted by Joe Hill; Hawnwan “Phil” Moy, MD, Medical Director for ARCH, Air Methods Illinois and Missouri; and John Wilmas, MD, Medical Director for ARCH, Air Methods Illinois and Missouri. Collectively, the three hosts bring decades of experience in emergency medical services and an array of diverse perspectives to the table.

Our new podcast, AMPED (Air Methods Prehospital Education), is back this week with a new installment. The podcast, which was launched last month, is designed for prehospital and in-hospital care providers and sheds light on the unique and challenging clinical scenarios faced by our emergency medical crews. It is a first-of-its-kind platform in which air medical and in-hospital clinicians can share their stories from the frontlines and learn from each other’s unique experiences in providing lifesaving care.
In this week’s episode, airing today, Joe, Phil, and John are joined by critical care physicians Brian Fuller MD MSCI FCCM and Amjad Musleh MD to discuss a case study involving the complicated “mix shock” state their patient is dying from, and the treatments they chose to provide.
Critical questions around the cause of the patient’s shock and why it might be fatal arise when typical solutions for shock aren’t working and the patient is dying. Listen in as they tackle preparing a systematic approach based on a fundamental understanding of the types of shock, figuring out the cause of shock, and choosing the right treatment.
In the first episode, the hosts interviewed a flight nurse about a case in which a patient was thrown from a motorcycle at 105 mph and needed emergency transport. The nurse recounts the unique details of the case and his medical decision-making process that ensured the patient received the highest quality care while in transport to the hospital.
(GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colorado, February 25, 2021) (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Air Methods, the leading air medical service provider in the U.S., today announced the launch of its Air Methods Prehospital Education (“AMPED”) podcast. AMPED, which is designed for prehospital and in-hospital care providers, sheds light on the unique and challenging clinical scenarios faced by Air Methods’ emergency medical crews.
“Medicine is an ongoing educational and evolutionary process,” said Joe Hill, RN, clinical director for Air Methods and co-creator of AMPED. “AMPED serves as a first-of-its-kind platform in which air medical and in-hospital clinicians can share their stories from the frontlines and learn from each other’s unique experiences in providing lifesaving care.”
Air Methods’ crews encounter extraordinary obstacles on a daily basis that require significant expertise and the ability to handle highly stressful situations. They often serve as the lifeline for patients in rural areas without access to critical or emergent care. By providing a lens into the air medical profession, AMPED aims to foster greater understanding and respect among healthcare providers of all specialties.
The podcast is hosted by Hill; Hawnwan “Phil” Moy, MD, Medical Director for Arch, Air Methods Illinois and Missouri; and John Wilmas, MD, Medical Director for Arch, Air Methods Illinois and Missouri. Collectively, the three hosts bring decades of experience in emergency medical services and an array of diverse perspectives to the table.
In the first episode released February 15, the hosts interview a flight nurse about a case in which a patient was catapulted from a motorcycle at 105 mph and needed emergency transport. The nurse recounts the unique details of the case and his medical decision-making process to ensure this patient received the highest quality care while in transport to the hospital.
AMPED is available on iTunes, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, and more. To listen to the podcast and to see available streaming options, visit airmethods.com/newsroom/. The second episode is slated for release in March 2021. To join the conversation, use the hashtag #AMPEDpod on social media.
