1 S2:E39 - "Stroke Systems of Care and the SUBurban Environment - A discussion with Dr. Christian Martin-Gill, MD, MPH." Recorded July 14, 2021 44:05
In this episode, we welcome Dr. Christian Martin-Gill, MD, MPH, who is here to provide us with his perspective regarding the development of stroke systems of care in the sub urban environment. Doc is an ED physician with a deep background in a variety of EMS systems. Specifically, Dr. Martin-Gill serves as Chief of the Division of EMS, the EMS Fellowship Director, and is an Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. He has been a nationally registered paramedic for over 20 years and is also a certified Flight paramedic. Doc was a co-author of the 2021 Recommendations for Regional Stroke Destination Plans in Rural, Suburban, and Urban Communities from the Prehospital Stroke System of Care Consensus Conference, which is the focus of today’s episode. This landmark consensus provides local and regional EMS agencies and stroke advisory committees with guiding principles and recommendations for how to integrate the elements of a stroke system of care in three key regional settings: urban, suburban, and rural settings. The consensus seeks to inform or update EMS about new models and systems of acute ischemic stroke care, especially mechanical thrombectomy for large vessel occlusion stroke, and how they affect their stroke systems of care. To maximize the power of the recommendations, the American Heart Association / American Stroke Association produced a very cool and very useful website full of resources and information directly related to helping EMS develop and or fortify their stroke systems of care. I highly recommend you visit www.Stroke.org/stroketransportplans and use it to consider evolving the stroke system of care in your community. Dr. Martin-Gill is here to help us appreciate what is at stake for stroke patients, as well as the nuances, advantages, and disadvantages of the suburban environment regarding EMS and stroke. Finally, Doc provides his recommendations regarding how EMS systems should use the contents of the consensus and the stroke.org/stroketransportplans website resources to improve their Stroke Systems of Care and strengthen their stroke chain of survival.

Dr. Levasseur is a graduate of Michigan State University School of Osteopathic Medicine and completed her pediatric residency and pediatric emergency medicine fellowship at the Children’s Hospital of Michigan. Throughout the pandemic many of us were under the impression that kids aren’t as negatively impacted by a COVID-19 infection as adults, especially the elderly and those with co-morbidities. Although this statement is truly in a very general sense, there’s still plenty to be concerned about and understand. Dr. Kelly and Dr. Sam help us appreciate what is at stake for children who are infected by COVID-19. Then, Dr. Levasseur lends her expertise to help EMS understand MIS-C, or multi-inflammatory syndrome in children, what it looks like and its relationship to COVD-19.

1 S2:E35 - "TXA, traumatic bleeding and EMS - A discussion with Dr. Steve McGraw, Luke Bowen and John Theut about the introduction of TXA for Southeast Michigan EMS agencies." Recorded May 5, 2021 29:44
In today’s episode, we discuss tranexamic acid, or TXA. TXA is a medication that helps prevent the body from prematurely breaking down clots. It doesn’t make new clots. It protects existing clots as they are formed. TXA was originally developed for the treatment of hemophilia and to reduce bleeding in patients undergoing oral surgery. Eventually, it was shown to be an effective preoperative drug that minimizes the need for large amounts of whole blood during general surgery procedures. TXA is now being used by EMS to treat severely injured trauma patients in the field who have or are at risk for severe hemorrhage. Starting June 2021, TXA will be added to the drug box on my rig, along with every other EMS rig in Michigan’s Southeast Region, which includes over a half dozen counties in the area. This new addition to the box will affect thousands of EMS units, paramedics, and hundreds of EMS agencies. If you are a paramedic in my area, I suggest you reach out to your EMS coordinator and find out if this change will impact your treatments. This change impacts the following protocols for Southeast Michigan EMS providers: 1) Shock and 2) Southeast Michigan Medication Exchange and Replacement Procedure. You can download these protocols at www.OCMCA.org/protocols . Or at the OCMCA EMS Protocols App , which you can download for free from Google Play or the Apple Store. To assist us in this discussion, we welcome back Dr. Steve McGraw, DO who is an ED physician at Ascension Providence Hospitals in both Southfield and Novi, Michigan, as well as the EMS medical director of the Oakland County Medical Control Authority (OCMCA), which provides oversight to 50 EMS agencies. We also welcome John Theut, MS, Paramedic, EMS-IC , the QA/QI Coordinator for the OCMCA right here in southeast Michigan. Finally, we welcome our MCA neighbor Luke Bowen, MBA, Paramedic I/C to the show. Luke is the Operations Manager for the Macomb County Medical Control Authority, which is one county east of Oakland County, Michigan. In today’s episode, our guests help us describe what TXA is and what it does. Then, they’ll list and describe the indications and contra-indications. After that, we’ll get into the dose, route and method of delivery for TXA. And finally, our guests will list and describe adverse reactions and side effects that may be witnessed by EMS after administration of TXA.

1 S2:E34 - "Preventing sleep-related infant deaths in Michigan with EMS – A discussion with the State of Michigan Infant Safe Sleep Program." Recorded May 3, 2021 38:48
According to the CDC SUID Case Registry Project, every year approximately 150 sleep-related infant deaths occur in Michigan. That’s about three deceased infants a week. The causes typically include a person or an object in the baby’s sleep space that leads to suffocation. Common objects associated with these events include pillows, blankets and stuffed toys. Sadly, preventable sleep-related causes are the number one contributor of infant deaths in Michigan, as it is in many areas around the United States. In this episode we welcome Dr . Samantha Mishra DO, MPH back to the show. Sam is the EMS for Children Coordinator for the State of Michigan. Today, my buddy Sam has brought along representatives from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) Infant Safe Sleep Program. Their mission is to prevent sleep-related infant deaths. Our guests include Colleen Nelson , LMSW , the Michigan Infant safe sleep program coordinator, as well as Patti Kelly , LMSW, MPH , the sleep program consultant. Part of their job is to know the incidence, occurrences and circumstances of infant deaths in the entire State of Michigan. They are most familiar with our State-wide data, so it makes sense to bring them into the fold to help guide us towards understanding the problem in our back yard. Understanding the problem and appreciating what we can do to solve it is vitally important. The State of Michigan EMS office and the Infant Safe Sleep Program have been working very hard to bring the DOSE Program to Michigan. In this episode, our guests will help us appreciate what is at stake for newborns sleeping in unsafe situations. Then, they’ll describe what the State of Michigan Infant Safe Sleep Program is doing to team up with EMS to reduce the number of preventable sleep-related infant deaths every year.

1 S2:E33 - "Evolving your Stroke System of Care - An interview with Edward Jauch, MD, MS, FAHA FACEP and Dr. Steve McGraw, D.O." Recorded May 3, 2021 59:38
In this episode, we welcome Dr. Edward Jauch, the Chief of System Research, at the Mission Research Institute/Mission Health System. Dr. Jauch served as the Chair of Stroke Council for the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association and was the primary author for the 2013 Acute Ischemic Stroke guidelines. He is a co-author of the flagship American Heart Association / American Stroke Association (AHA/ASA) guidelines for telemedicine use in stroke, primary prevention of stroke, prehospital care of stroke, and stroke systems of care, as well as over 20 other AHA guidelines and scientific statements. Collectively Dr. Jauch’s efforts have focused on improving access to care, increasing the quality of acute stroke care, and educating both the public and healthcare professionals on developing integrated stroke systems for care for all patients. Most recently, Ed was the primary author of the 2021 Recommendations for Regional Stroke Destination Plans in Rural, Suburban, and Urban Communities from the Prehospital Stroke System of Care Consensus Conference, which is the focus of today’s episode. This consensus paper provides local and regional EMS agencies and stroke advisory committees with guiding principles and recommendations for how to integrate the elements of a stroke system of care in three key regional settings: urban, suburban and rural settings. It also takes into account the differences in resources, hospital certifications, geography, and population density. Additionally, it seeks to inform or update EMS about new models and systems of acute ischemic stroke care, especially mechanical thrombectomy for large vessel occlusion stroke, and how they affect their stroke systems of care.

1 S2:E32 - "Carter Kits™ Sensory Bags – A conversation with Dr. Sam Mishra, Justin Severs and Brandon Hausbeck about EMS and being prepared to care for children with autism." Recorded February 24, 2021 42:48
In this episode, we welcome back Dr. Sam Mishra, DO, MPH , the EMS for Children Coordinator for the State of Michigan. Our buddy Sam brought along the founders of Carter Kits™, which is an amazing organization that is helping first responders understand, appreciate and care for children with autism and other special needs in a way that best serves child and their family. Carter Kits™ Sensory Bags contain items known to comfort and appropriately focus children who are on the autism spectrum, as well as many other children who occasionally find themselves overwhelmed or otherwise impacted by traumatic events. For more information, visit www.CarterKits.com . During this discussion, our guests help us appreciate being prepared for pediatric emergencies, as well as the value of EMS provider education about Autism Spectrum Disorder, or ASD. Then, we discuss the intent and purpose of Carter Kits and how you can implement them into your EMS agency or system. In 2019, Carter Kits™ began as a grass roots call to action embodied by a simple text message sent by Justin Severs, a Detective at the Saginaw Twp. Police Department here in Michigan. He sent the text to his friend Brandon Hausbeck, the Training Officer at the Saginaw Fire Department, and another friend, Andrew Keller, a realtor in Frankenmuth, Michigan. The text read, “ We need a tool to help us when we arrive at a scene with a special needs child ." Justin's son Carter has autism, and he is the inspiration of their organization. Justin’s idea is to equip as many police, fire and EMS vehicles as possible with the means to calm distressed children like Carter when arriving on scene. Andrew reached out to a family friend, Dr. Ellen Preen, a clinical neuropsychologist who has both a daughter with Autism Spectrum Disorder, and extensive experience working with individuals impacted by autism, trauma, anxiety, depression and learning challenges. Together, Andrew, Justin, Brandon and Dr. Preen saw the need to expand the scope of their efforts to ANY child in crisis who may benefit from the contents of Carter Kits™ Sensory Bag.
