Emergency Department Pharmacist Catherine Platt joins the show today to discuss Epinephrine including some ways we use it as EMTs, AEMTs and Paramedics. We also will break down three different clinical trials that have shaped how we administer the drug leading to best practices in and out of the hospital. The studies used in this show are listed below for your reference.
