Description

Live from Podcast Row, we continue our AMTC18 series with a brief, “Short Final”. It is no secret that signs and other physical phenomenon are numerous. Sometimes, it is difficult to remember all of these when performing our head-to-toe assessments. In this episode, we take the time to consider one sign in particular; a sign especially common in the pediatric population. Tune in as we discuss sunset eyes phenomenon, when it’s benign, and when it matters. We also touch on Parinaud's Syndrome and its conjunction with this finding. ------------------------------------------------  Follow us on Twitter @HLTHPodcast Follow us on Facebook @heavyliesthehelmet Visit our website at heavyliesthehelmet.com Contact us at heavyliesthehelmet@gmail.com Disclaimer: The views, information, or opinions expressed during the HLTH podcast are solely those of the individuals involved and do not necessarily represent those of their employers and their employees.

"Heavy lies the crown" is a common misquote of "uneasy lies the head that wears a crown" from Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part 2. It refers to the responsibility and insecurity of governing an entire kingdom. Likewise, "heavy lies the helmet" refers to the responsibility we face as critical care transport providers working in an autonomous and often unpredictable environment. Our minds are eased with education that better prepares us for any situation that we may encounter. That is exactly what Heavy Lies the Helmet provides. Founded by two brothers, Heavy Lies the Helmet is comprised of industry leaders working in the fields of pre-hospital and inter-hospital critical care and emergency services. We are an accredited podcast, blog, and conference that openly discusses the world of resuscitation and aviation. We highlight caring for critically ill and injured patients in addition to the controversies surrounding their management. Though tailored to the transport environment, our information is applicable to any discipline working in an emergency and/or intensive care setting. We utilize the most recent evidence to provide applicable and accurate education that can assist in improving individual clinical practice and overall program operations. We offer continuing education units to any listener and/or reader interested in obtaining credit for their progressive learning experience. Please visit heavyliesthehelmet.com/ce for more information.
