    Do we "need" it... no, probably not. Would it be nice? Yes it would. I am a firm believer that progress is good. Learning how to use new tools is a good thing. When it comes time for medical directors to look at EMS systems, they can look at all this stuff "wow.. they use this? they are trained in that?"

    But if you are happy with minimal medicine and little skills, that's fine. I for one, want more.

    In most jurisdictions, if you start CPR, despite a DNR, you will not be faulted. If you do what you think is in the best interest of the pt, you will be okay. That is not to say the family won't be upset. I've been in the situation a few times (though not with the Adenosine). It sucks to watch someone go from talking and breathing to dead in seconds. As a provider, it is your nature to want to do something but you just have to put your hands in your pockets and resist the urge. I would say that for prehospital providers, your best plan is to contact medical control, just to CYA.


    I have treated a patient and watched them code in front of my eyes. I started CPR, knowing the DNR was present. I did not however, read the DNR to see what it was stating before I started treating their chest pain. When I walked in.. the patient said "help me".
