Sinus Tachycardia or SVT? How Paramedics Can Tell in Seconds | Class Professional (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A regular narrow-complex tachycardia at 180 bpm: sinus tachycardia or SVT? We break down the clinical and ECG features that help paramedics distinguish a compensatory sinus tachycardia from a true re-entry rhythm without relying on heart rate alone. The episode begins with a 34-year-old experiencing sudden palpitations and a regular narrow-complex tachycardia at approximately 180 bpm. From there, we work through the findings that can change the differential: • Sudden versus gradual onset • Clini
How Quickly Do We Lose Muscle? | Dr. Chris McGlory (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How quickly do we lose muscle when we stop moving, and what does that mean as we get older or when our patients become sick, injured, or immobilized? In this episode of The Inflection Point, we sit down with Dr. Chris McGlory, Assistant Professor at Queen’s University and a leading researcher in skeletal muscle physiology, nutrition, exercise, and disuse atrophy. We explore what actually drives muscle hypertrophy, why exercise is the primary stimulus for adaptation, how dietary protein supports
33 Years in Paramedicine: What the Front Line Taught Jennie Helmer About Leadership (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After 33 years with BC Ambulance and BC Emergency Health Services, Jennie Helmer has experienced paramedicine from almost every angle: frontline clinician, Advanced Care Paramedic, mentor, and system leader. Throughout her career, one thing has remained remarkably consistent: the front line is the tether. In this episode of The Inflection Point, Jennie reflects on the mentors who helped shape her early career, Rosalind McPhee and Gayle Lyttle, and how their influence continues to inform the way
Pit Crew CPR: How Paramedic Teams Build High-Performance Resuscitation | Class Professional (opens the original)
Read excerpt
High-performance resuscitation is not about one clinician doing everything. It is about building a coordinated team that can think clearly, communicate effectively, and protect the fundamentals when every second matters. EPISODE CHAPTERS 00:00 – High-performance resuscitation is a team sport 00:35 – Moving beyond the traditional team-lead model 02:50 – Clear roles, cognitive bandwidth, and the pit-crew approach 05:03 – Why team-based resuscitation improves outcomes 07:24 – Reducing peri-shock pa
Pit Crew CPR: The Team Dynamics Behind High-Performance Resuscitation | Class Professional (opens the original)
Read excerpt
High-performance resuscitation is not simply a collection of technically skilled clinicians. It is a coordinated system built on role clarity, closed-loop communication, shared situational awareness, and the disciplined execution of the fundamentals. In this clip from The Inflection Point, we explore pit crew resuscitation and the team dynamics that help paramedics perform at their best during cardiac arrest. Clearly defined roles reduce duplication, protect high-quality CPR, minimize interrupti
