MedicCast Episode 496
Good day and welcome to this week’s episode of the MedicCast. I’m your host, Jamie Davis the Podmedic and I’d like to welcome you to this week’s show. We are back after a month-long break for the month of August. I spent much of that month getting three kids back to college in different parts of the country. But we are back this week with a hot new EMS topic for you to talk about. Kevin Collopy is back on the show this week with a look at EMS use of high flow air via nasal cannula. Don’t miss this one, it might not be what you think it is.

A quick reminder that we’ll be live in the Physio-Control sponsored podcast studio at EMS World Expo in New Orleans coming up in the first week of October.
