My service recently just added these to our protocols (Sizes 3-5). The University of Iowa did a research project on the effectiveness of the King LTS-D Airways and showed a 100% success rate on first attempt. So the State of Iowa now allows all levels from First Responder and up to use these. I personally found the King LTS-D to be an excellent alternative to ET intubation and combi-tubes. Iowa also currently allows all levels from FR and up to use the combi-tube which is not as successful. I personally believe that the King LTS-D will be the new Gold Standard for BLS airways.
If you are looking to use these or are currently using these I recommend the King <b>LTS-D</b> because 1) Suction Channel, 2) Distal Cuff was redesigned to have a better seal.
We have now been trained on the king airway,I really like them I think they will be a great replacement from the combi-tube.

Miss Beatrice, The church organist, Was in her eighties And had never been married.
She was admired for her sweetness And kindness to all.
One afternoon the pastor Came to call on her and she showed him into her quaint sitting room.
She invited him to have a seat while she prepared tea.
As he sat facing her old Hammond organ, The young minister Noticed a cute glass bowl Sitting on top of
it.
The bowl was filled With water, and in the water Floated, of all things, a condom!
When she returned With tea and scones, They began to chat.
The pastor tried to stifle his curiosity About the bowl of water and its strange floater, but soon it got the better of him and he could no longer resist.
'Miss Beatrice', he said, 'I wonder if you would tell me about this?' Pointing to the bowl.
'Oh, yes,' she replied, 'Isn't it wonderful? I was walking through The Park a few months ago And I found this little package on the ground. The directions said To place it on the organ, Keep it wet and that it
would prevent the spread of disease. Do you know I haven't had the flu all winter.. '
That is way to funny,best one I've heard for awhile.

The calls we get most of is diabetic then cardiac,then maybe assults.Then we also get the really interesting ones also.
-
Diabetic calls are #1 then probably assult or cardiac a close second.

One gal on our service wears one.

We carry AEDs on our BLS rigs. I know a lot of first responder vehicles that carry them also.

We use the ferno stair chair I like it but I have never used a stryker.

Pre hospital care is often a thankless, take us for granted job. It makes it alot easier to do this job when we hear a thankyou or good job once in awhile. What keeps me likeing the job is knowing that we are needed and doing a good thing by helping others when they need it most.

I hope you are back to normal again real soon.

I am not a paramedic but it sounds like a good idea,good luke in your endevor.
-
good one.
-
The service that I work for,I think stating pay for a basic is $11 and tops out at $19 per hour.That is higher than most services but they wanted to be competetive.
-
Where I work we have mostly assult calls,then probably diabetic calls,cardiac calls,and of course the frequent flyers.

I have never ever heard of th is happening to anyone.But it sure would hurt,hope I never have to deal with that situation.
