Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep. 48: The Pinkie Promise
Jan 29, 2025
A pinkie promise is a promise you cannot break, and
it's one our patient in this month's episode made to his wife when
he was stricken with a life-threatening COVID infection. She made
him promise that he would pull through the ordeal, and he did...
but not without many bumps in the road.
Our team not only battled our patient's COVID, but
also a nasty case of pneumonia that ultimately led to him needing
to be placed on ECMO, which, as you know, is usually a last resort.
Listen in as they transported him prone, which our team had never
done before in 20+ years of experience, dealt with an unexpected
hailstorm during transport and find out how our patient ended up
doing after a lung transplant.
