Description

When discussing methylene blue, management and treatment of methaemoglobinaemia is usually the first indication mentioned. But in this podcast, we challenge you to increase the size of your lense and focus on its benefits in other states (e.g., septic shock). Of course, we could not do this alone, so we invited a Flight Paramedic, Pharmacist, Toxicologist, and Professor to join us. And fortunately for us, they are all the same person. Tune in as Will Heuser helps us discuss the pathophysiology of distributive shock, the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of methylene blue related to its effects on endothelial relaxation, and how this simple dye goes beyond that of salvage therapy when a patient has high vasopressor requirements.

"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.
