The EMS Lighthouse Project

Man, did we have fun recording this one. I found myself in a hotel room in Ashland, Oregon with Drs. Ed Racht, Maia Dorsett, and Ritu Sahni talking about Sepsis. We decided this would make for a great crossover episode with The EMS Show, minus our buddy Mikey V. Anytime I get together with this group of friends, I always have fun. We discuss a new sepsis trial but also discuss the OG sepsis paper, Dr. River's Early Goal Direct Therapy and discuss the cautionary tale of performance measures gone awry. We also hit on using EtCO2 as a surrogate for lactate in sepsis and collectively decide Dr. Dorsett is a rockstar.
