It’s Time to Stop Pushing Epi in V-Fib linkedin.com/pulse/its-time…

Grateful to @mklevy10 for calling attention to a major patient safety gap at the @NAEMSP annual meeting. Medication scanning matters, especially in high-risk EMS and hospital environments. We’re focused on solving this in Handtevy Mobile. #NAEMSP2026

Six years later, that first hospitalization still defines our memory. "𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘛𝘺𝘱𝘦 1 𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘴" But what followed wasn’t just learning insulin and finger sticks. It was being offered 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡-𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐛 𝐬𝐧𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬 that led to huge blood sugar swings, and several scary moments he’s never forgotten. That's what stuck. Six years later, Noah continues to make sure that newly diagnosed children have Low Carb options during their initial hospitalization. Through his club at club at @AHSBroward, he delivers Diabetic Snack Boxes to @JDCHospital, right when families need them most. The letter he places on each box still makes my eyes well up. Next shipment ready. 💙

A new NEJM trial is being interpreted by many as showing that ketamine causes increased cardiovascular collapse relative to etomidate during ETI. I don't agree. What it really shows is what happens when critically ill patients are paralyzed before they’re adequately resuscitated. Read my first ever Substack post below👇

Join @TannerSmida and me today at 11 AM EST for the @FL_NAEMSP webinar as we host @dougwolfberg to discuss Criminal Liability in EMS. DM me for the Zoom link or join via LinkedIn Live.

Alan and his family invited me for a doubles match, on the same court where two bystanders, my crew from Palm Beach County Fire Rescue Station 49, and EMS Captain Darwin Zelaya, fought to bring him back. They delivered 2 AED shocks, 1 standard shock, six rounds of Dual Sequential External Defibrillation, as well as amiodarone and esmolol, achieving ROSC before arrival at Delray Medical Center. Alan also recorded a quick PSA for clinicians who still question whether #DSED works. Walking off that court, I couldn’t help but feel grateful. Grateful for the bystanders, the crew, the science, and for the chance to see a life fully reclaimed. That’s the power of EMS. @DrCheskes @emcrit @PBCFR @AHAScience @ERC_resus @ResusCouncilUK @ResusJournal @NEJM

OK, so today we realized that our daughter throws up during long car rides. Who can relate, and what do you do?

@DrSamanthaF @AHAScience With all due respect to Charles, this one’s not even close. The AHA and ERC missed big here. @DrCheskes NEJM RCT showed a doubling of survival…..of people who would have otherwise died. This recommendation needs to change.

Now we have Charles Deakin vs Sheldon Cheskes on Standard defib vs DSED ⚡️#ReSS25 which one do you prefer? #AHA25 @AHAScience

@andrewjtagg Thank you for posting this thread. I’ve been giving warnings in my talks for many years and your post is eye opening. Thanks 🙏

“Just a heads up—this next part includes a case that might be difficult for some of you to hear.” A few years ago, I said those words before sharing a case that involved the death of a child. My child. One person quietly stepped out. It felt like the right thing to do. 🧵

@DanielRGerard @markpiehl Agreed Dan. It’s proof that in innovation in healthcare, even the most obvious innovation, is an uphill battle….mainly against egos.

@HandtevyMD @markpiehl It is amazing to me that in spite of everything we have to have this discussion. Worse is when we hear people say: well the science isn’t compelling…the science isn’t there yet…but you are only 10 minutes from the trauma center…

The New England Whole Blood Summit happening now in Boston with Dr. @markpiehl debunking the myths of pre-hospital blood.

@JessC_721 @Handtevy Thank you Jessica!

If you’re in EMS and considering whole blood or blood components in the field, you won’t want to miss this conversation. 🔗 Join via Zoom (Register Here): us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regist…

This just made my day! Congrats to the entire team. Can't wait to see the outcomes from what I hope will change the way sepsis is treated by EMS. Many lives will be saved because of this study!
