This video and audio episode was recorded LIVE on day 2 in the Medtronic Foundation Heart Rescue Project sponsored ProMed Network podcast studio from the exhibit hall. Bruce Latourelle from episode sponsor BEARiatrics.com comes on at the beginning of the show to share the features of his company's Bariatric Equalizing Abdominal Restraint. The device can be added to any cot to enable safer and more secure transport of obese patients by securing the abdominal mass mid-line so there are no sudden shifts in the mass that could destabilize or unbalance the cot. Rated up to 1,500 pounds, the device can be used on conventional cots to enable better fit without calling for another bariatric device. Find out more at BEARiatrics.com. Jamie is also joined by ProMed Executive Producer and health care consulting nurse Anne Robinson (CaringAnne.com), paramedic Jim Hoffman, developer of the Turbo Medic EMT and Paramedic study software (GetTurboMedic.com) and host of the EMS Office Hours podcast, and Tom Bouthillet, editor in chief at EMS12Lead.com and Wes Ogilvie paramedic and attorney. They continue the discussion about bariatric patient care especially a focus on understanding patient concerns and providing high quality rapid response and transport despite the patient's size and physiologic challenges. -------- Sponsored by: Special sponsorship by BEARiatrics.com (http://beariatrics.com), the abdominal mass support restraint that allows up to 90% of bariatric patients to be transported on standard EMS cots.
