The FlightBridgeED Podcast

In this enlightening episode of The FAST Archives, we feature a compelling talk by Bruce Hoffman titled "A Change of Heart." Bruce, a seasoned critical care nurse and paramedic with a rich background in ICU, ER, trauma, and cardiology, challenges conventional wisdom in the treatment of STEMI patients. Drawing on the latest evidence, he questions the rush to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and whether our current metrics, like door-to-reperfusion times, are truly in the best interest of patient outcomes.

Bruce's engaging discussion not only covers cardiac care insights but also includes a curious anecdote about grand pianos and emails, adding a touch of humor and relatability to a deeply technical subject. Join us to explore how these insights could transform STEMI care protocols and improve patient care.
