First of all... If you really want to know what school this girl goes to, it is pretty easy to just do a search on all her posts in that forum and she tells you.
Secondly, I find it ironic, that to me it seemed her major concern in the post, is the PVC's and the abnormal rythms. Well maybe not ironic, however, funny. It reflects to what standard of instruction that student has been taught at.
Thirdly and finally, I fear that everyone is complaining about this, but has or will ACP contacted about this. Everyone knows that apathy runs wild in todays society and even more I find in our line of practise. Has someone here said something or sent an email to ACP in regards to this, you dont have to post it publiclly, just send me a PM in regards to this.
Now my two cents,
What right did this instructor have to discharge a Defibrillator on a pillow or even a student. I am not a Defib technician, however, I would suspect that shorting out an archaic machine would decreese the efectivness of the defib. Also what the heck is an Artifact-finder 10 doing on a standby unit, again I am not a Defib Technician, but am confident that they cannot be updated to current standards, not even sure if they could be updated to the last standards. Now if they were used as just an ECG, well anyone who has used one of these would know they pretty much know that anyone who sneezes within 30 feet, will show up as artifact on the machine. In addition there is a million, well at least a 100, Lifepak 300s out there that are pretty much being given away, that could have been used for a ECG, as they are slightly better at tracings.
