SCCM Resource Library-Prehospital Controversies: How Prehospital Treatment Affects Critical Care

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Susan Wilcox discusses pre-hospital controversy and its impact on critical care transport. She first talks about protocols and regionalized delivery of care, highlighting the importance of understanding state and regional requirements, as well as additional regulatory processes. She also mentions the need for staffing considerations and how crew composition and experience play a role. Wilcox emphasizes the importance of engaged medical leadership and the development of protocols based on current standards of care. She then moves on to discuss frontiers in critical care transport, specifically focusing on two topics: the use of inhaled epiprostanol and prone transports. She explains how inhaled epiprostanol can be a useful bridge in stabilizing patients for transport, especially in severe hypoxemic respiratory failure cases. She also discusses the benefits and challenges of transporting patients in the prone position, highlighting the need for caution and proper training. Finally, she touches on the transport of patients requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and the importance of specialized training and education for transport teams in this area.
