Welcome to the Valor Flight Crew Podcast, hosted by ECHO and brought to you by Vertical HeliCASTS and Vertical Valor Magazine.
In this episode, we’re diving into the mindset of the resuscitationist, and what it takes to perform under pressure when every second counts.
This week we are joined by Dr. Garrett Cavaliere as we explore how preparation, teamwork, and self-awareness shape outcomes in high-stress environments like flight medicine.
We’ll talk about managing stress responses, the impact of fatigue, the power of mental rehearsal, and the value of debriefing after critical incidents. If you're in the business of saving lives under pressure, this conversation is one you won’t want to miss.
Throughout this episode, Dr. Cavaliere references various studies and graphs, so be sure to head over to our YouTube channel to get the full effect of this conversation.

Thank you to our sponsors Airbus, Metro Aviation and Precision Aviation Group.
