The EMS Show is back—again—and this time Mike Verkest and Dr. Ritu Sahni actually spend part of the episode talking about EMS.
Mike and Ritu remember the late Randolph Mantooth, including the absolutely true story of running a real medical call alongside Johnny Gage himself. Then they dig into Washington County’s remarkable 60% Utstein survival rate, the “secret sauce” behind high-performing cardiac arrest systems, post-ROSC blood pressure management, peri-intubation hypotension, ECMO for severe hypothermia, and how social determinants of health are driving EMS utilization.
There’s also Broadway, Little House on the Prairie, Canadian passport stamps, Portland being on fire, and a solemn promise to record another episode sometime before February. Maybe.
Welcome back to The EMS Show—the podcast made for our families and the six other people still listening.
