We are deeply inspired by the heroic actions of our co-owner, Ryan!

First responders recall the chaos and trauma of Aug. 27, when a mass shooting at Annunciation Church in south Minneapolis killed two children and wounded more than two dozen others.

In the largest retrospective observational cohort study, using the American College of Surgery Trauma Quality Improvement Program database, comparing mortality between over 3 million normothermic adult trauma patients versus over 29,000 hypothermic trauma patients showed a 2x higher death rate if hypothermic on ED arrival. Hypothermia was defined as a body temperature less than 35 °C on the first recorded ED temperature.

Their data showed hypothermia on arrival was an independent predictor of death, not just a marker of critical illness or “metabolic failure” from shock.

Additionally, they compared 113 propensity-matched hypothermic trauma patients who underwent rewarming vs 113 who were hypothermic but not rewarmed. The non-rewarmed group had a 21.2% mortality vs 8.2% if rewarmed. The non-rewarmed group also had more in-hospital complications, longer hospital lengths of stay, more ICU days, and longer duration of mechanical ventilation.

Today, we hosted the first day of our Accelerated EMT Course! Our students started the day with Basic Life Support, learned medical ethics through practical scenarios, and were introduced to the tools that EMTs use for patient assessment and stabilization. We are excited to watch these students grow over the next 12 days!
