The old ‘orange man’ graphic is misleading @ReadyPWC. Use this one from @RAWMedic. It addresses: 1) No sweat does not indicate heat stroke; 2) Altered mental status is the cardinal sign of heat stroke; 3) Specific heat stroke care = Cold water immersion. #HeatSafety

Chris Davis MD joins us here to discuss medical direction for WEMS & SAR, what medical directors do & who is qualified for the role, & the paradox that non-regulated responders such as first aiders/WFRs may actually be most in need of medical directors. rawmedicine.org/episodes/f/epi…

@14News can we please utilize evidence based descriptions of heat stroke? The presence or absence of sweating literally means nothing and is a dangerous myth. Altered mental status is the defining element of heat stroke. @DownToFifer @RAWMedic

A friend has mad it his life's work to change this image. Sweat may not be connected to stroke. @RAWMedic

Heat stroke is a medical emergency and can occur whether or not skin is dry. The cardinal sign of heat stroke is altered mental status. Learn how to identify heat stroke vs heat exhaustion + treatment tips with this graphic from @hawkvox & @DownToFifer #ndptc #HeatSafety

In 2018, @WEMSText became 1st #EMS textbook arguing against any requisite immobilization in #spinaltrauma. Cool to see @WildMedSociety & @NREMT working in this space too. Here in @RAWMedic podcast, #WEMS3 @DownToFifer & #WEMSEditor @hawkvox analyze these changes. @lippincott

@RAWMedic @NREMT @WildMedSociety @DownToFifer @hawkvox Great episode 👍

Any text or guideline that says to treat envenomation anywhere in the world by Extraction, lymphatic resistance bands, fasciotomy, keeping lower than the heart, using extraction devices, or exercising or sucking venom out, or bringing/capturing wildlife are antiquated. Period.
