Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep. 57: The Gravity of the Fall
Oct 22, 2025
In an incredible twist of irony, this month's case
focuses on our flight crew loading into their helicopter to be
dispatched to... a patient who has fallen out of a helicopter. From
a height of approximately 40 feet and at a speed of 30 knots, our
patient has an abundance of injuries, which requires our team to
remember their axiom: "Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast." This
episode also introduces an important question: How do we intervene
in different kinds of shock? Our patient had three different kinds:
Hemorrhagic, neurogenic, and obstructive shock. Listen in as our
guest, along with our panel, deconstructs one of the rarest cases
in AMPED history.
