FASTReplay: Not What We've Always Done - featuring Eddy Lang

About this episode

This episode explores the practical implications of evidence-based medicine in EMS, challenging traditional practices and emphasizing real-world context.

We’re continuing our FAST Replay series, bringing you full sessions recorded live from past FAST conferences as we build toward FAST26: Austin! This episode takes on a topic everyone talks about… but few fully understand: evidence-based medicine . What does it actually mean in EMS? This session breaks it down in a way that’s practical, honest, and directly applicable to how decisions get made in the field. From the limits of single studies to the importance of real-world context to the evolution of guidelines and what drives them. This is a deeper look at how evidence should (and shouldn’t) shape practice. It also challenges some long-standing habits in medicine, where tradition, opinion, or “how we’ve always done it” have influenced care just as much as actual evidence. If you’ve ever heard “the evidence says…”, this episode might change how you think about that. This is what FAST sounds like. Real conversations. Real ideas. Live from the room. FAST26 is coming to Austin, Texas this year on May 27-29, 2026. We are co-locating with EMS World Live, giving you 2 HUGE events under 1 roof at the same time! Choose to join one, or the other, or come to both! 👉 Learn more or grab your…
