Extended Austere Provider Course ⎮SOARescue⎮

This video is a short overview of SOARescue’s Extended Austere Provider course (EAP) which is designed to teach students advanced techniques for managing ICU level patient’s in resource limited environments for prolonged amounts of time. This course is ideal for SAR paramedics, military medics, critical care providers and anyone else who may find themselves participating in prolonged field care. While the minimum entry requirements are an EMT cert I strongly recommend applicants come into this class with a critical care background to get the full benefit of this course.

“Hi this is Sam; on this episode of Prepmedic I’m going to demonstrate how to use a solar battery to run a ventilator and an ECMO before a helicopter can find your patient.”

[@mdamkot]

It was some phenomenal learning, and @prepmedic it was cool to meet you.

[@PrepMedic]

Same brother!

[@jamesryan2720]

Wow, equitment, gear n NIBP so awesome. Great. I hope i can see u in the future. From Malaysia.

[@awilson72]

We used the Save2 vent as a civilian agency and SOCM training site. Worked well for this, not so much critical care transport.

[@PrepMedic]

Absolutely not. Great in austere settings and for short haul stuff but not for anything critical care

[@EBMisKing]

This is an absolutely bad ass video. Well done!

[@PrepMedic]

Thank you!

[@learnshareevolve1842]

Great stuff! It’s great that they are offering, even considered offering, and have the expertise to offer, these courses, and that you we’re able to attend!

[@shawnbuxton4618]

I would love to see more content on PFC/PCC.

[@MrRolled1]

Could you discuss air force Pararescue. Best of the best advanced paramedics, search and rescue specialists, combat dive, airborne, small unit tactics, arctic SERE, rescue swimmer qualified badasses

[@benjamindowdy8168]

This looks like some phenomenal learning, but my broke-knee SAR medic brain immediately looks at all that gear and says “owwww” 🤣 Looks like I better drag my butt over to their website to sign up.

[@josholdham1033]

thanks for bringing this to us. Paramedic and new subscriber but I like what I see.

[@ronwaldlao2518]

can you do more gear review and tutorial

[@silvioleiria2510]

Amazing Course.

[@brettp_DO]

This looks really cool! I’d love to get involved in something like this.

[@jonathanlawson9555]

Hey could you give an honest review on whether this course is essentially just prolonged Critical Care while camping or if this is actually good practice? Thinking about taking the course and trying to get an idea on how much it would actually help improve skills and how much it would just be practice in a fun environment. Also, do they throw a bunch of BS into the scenarios or does it stay pretty realistic?

[@PrepMedic]

It kind of depends on what your job is and what your background is.

[@thepinkzebra3]

Would having both front country and wilderness EMT be enough prep or would you recommend full paramedic first?

[@PrepMedic]

At the end of the day this is a 5 day course. It doesn’t certify you in anything, just helps build a knowledge base. You can go through and “pass” it as an EMT but the entire concept of the course is based around traditional critical/intensive care. If you don’t really have any experience with vent management, drip titrations, critical care pharmacology etc...you won’t be able to get as much out of the course (which is expensive). A great experience either way.

[@samcoffey8251]

Are only medical providers able to take this course or is it just suggested to have prior medical experience?

[@TheInfantry98]

Only medical providers and only paramedics since EMT’s don’t belong at all. I’m a EMT by the way.

[@eastwardExpansion]

The prerequisites are an EMT-B (you should be a paramedic) certification and active employment by a public safety agency or governmental/military organization with a medical mission set.

[@grantjones199]

Sign me up. On my list of classes to take for SWAT medical training

[@Pmedic39]

Look at both www.soarescue.com/TMP and www.soarescue.com/eap

[@charlesrocks]

Sam this is great content!

[@PrepMedic]

Thank you! I am pleased with it.

[@paramedicclass2518]

Hey there! I am taking this same course at the end of the month, however I’ve had a difficult time getting ahold of anyone at SOAR for questions (emails,calls no response) in the registration email it mentioned things like they would send out info on how to access online precourse work and such. I’m curious if you had this issue? And I am assuming you camp on-site for the course but I’ve got mixed info just looking at their FAQ. I’m trying to plan ahead I’m coming from the other side of the country, never been to NC. If you have any info that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

[@paramedicclass2518]

To clarify other than the auto generated email after completing the registration I’ve received no further emails or info from SOAR regarding the course directly.

[@michaelwolgast6993]

I NEED THIS!!!!!!

[@DevilDocWold]

I saw y'all were pushing crystoloids with blood, we don't push it anymore because it contributes to metabolic acidosis.

[@PrepMedic]

You always hang a bag of saline with blood to flush the line in-between units and retain the ability to hang more if need be. That’s why you hang blood on blood Y tubing. You also need the ability to clear the line of blood if you need to use the access to push other medications. In addition, while large amounts of saline will eventually contribute to acidosis small boluses will not change a PH. In fact, during any ICU or extended care scenarios you need to establish a maintenance infusion to maintain hydration and kidney function.

[@DevilDocWold]

@@PrepMedic That's good to know, thank you for the knowledge. We always do the initial flush with 2G TXA then push LTOWB, we then establish a second access site where we push our 3G Calcium Gluconate and other meds as needed. We also no longer use Y-Tubing just a single filter line, but that's just for the Marine Corps EFWB Program.

[@PrepMedic]

Totally, I think in direct action care the way you guys do it makes a lot of sense. Blood Y tubing can be a pain if you are trying to move quickly.

[@DevilDocWold]

@@PrepMedic seeing your video was actually perfect timing, I'll be attending the first ever PFC course for the Marines next month, it's going to be a test course. I have been trying to start a PFC program at my unit, It would be good to compare notes with you to see how the civilian sector does it. Well anyways thanks for the response, and thank you for your great content.

[@georg.pl_]

How physically challenging was the EAP course?

[@willispautz]

What are your opinions on the Phillips Tempus?

[@mavrick561]

We like ours. No defib but a good monitor for this type of thing. We moved to the Butterfly for POCUS.

[@robculliton5785]

Hi, I came across your videos recently searching for exactly what your videos are. How not to be a bystander and properly use a trauma kit. After spending a 2 days watching your videos. I have some important, to my future life choices, that I'd really like to ask you. If you can find the time to exchange a couple emails, I'd seriously appreciate it. Thanks.

[@vel5054]

Thank you

[@philipbacani9400]

Where do you get that epic electric guitar music background?

[@PrepMedic]

I get my music from Audio Jungle.

[@benktraveldiscover5942]

Hey. I’am a paramedic from Russia. I have couple of questions, is there any way I can contact you? Thank you.

[@longviewstud26]

Pretty cool

[@JT-jd1hh]

Done

[@bodyno3158]

This kind of course is extremely valuable: 1. Any well-trained medical personal can save lives when they are in a well-equiped ER room. 2. Not any well-trained medical personal can save lives when they are out in the middle of nowhere. 3. Shit will happen in the middle of nowhere. 4. We need medical personals that can save lives in the middle of nowhere.

[@kouryeways3998]

With respect, I didn’t seem like there is much of a “review” in this review. It’s cool camera work and music, but not a lot that tells you about the course.

[@Pmedic39]

Here is a link to the course. www.soarescue.com/eap

[@PrepMedic]

Not really reviewing it. It was an excellent course for me and for what I do but that won’t hold true to everyone. The curriculum, instructors, format, and materials are top notch but the subject matter won’t apply to a lot of people so it really comes down to the individual.
