Calgary does take on EMT'S rarely but they do. We do have EMT's. To become a paramedic you have to be a EMT first. acp Every province has there own testing,regulations,just like every state has that. Some things are similiar some are not. research wont kill you Check out the links.

I'm really suprised the pedestrian lived from what the article said considering that is a pretty big MOI.....

I would run the code.

my 2 cents.

Here is an article I wrote a while back on CHF... it explains edema etc.. good review for all levels..

Dwayne:

I would personally like to thank you, this is a very thought provoking situation, any apology is far from indicated as your scenario/ fears as a parent are very realistic and quite valid concerns and good teaching points.

I have had some experience in the Triage Officer role with this type of presentation and especially if no medic alert or indication of history was evedent I would suspect that your son would be treated as a head injury, with a possible complication of abdo involvement.

Quiet children gain my attention far more quickly than a crying or noisy child....as they are moving air. Having a tiny bit of experience with ASL, attempts would be made with this form of communication, but under the circumstances and the picture you paint it would be doubtful that ASL would produce a positive response.

I believe ( but you never know till your wearing that hat and standing in the rain) that I would Triage this patient as Yellow in the system that I work, ironically would most likely be bumped up within that category.

If chemical sedation was indicated, I would be very conservative, as this is frowned upon by the Neuro Men that I work with, the indiscriminate use of Benzodiazapines can mask and complicate the picture.

The use of Halodol on a child would be not prudent....and may produce idiosyncratic response's.....children should not be treated as small adults.

Never the less, this is an excellent teaching point....."Expect the Unexpected" and as the forum commentators suggest there is far many more individuals in the EMS community that are Very Aware of the needs of your child.

Breath Easy Dwayne

I agree with ya brotha. :wink:

call for backup.

pt#1 rapid extrication, pt has possible shock? lots of trauma?? air lift

pt#2 rapid extrication. pt has severe trauma. by the sounds of it, there is severe neuro trauma. i would request air lift as well as pt 3 go along.

pt#3 has minor damages out of other pts in the vehicle. child is screaming because they are scared. calm pt as much as possible.

pt#4 air lift. no questions

pt#5 ground transp

pt#6 ground transp

I don't know any other information.

Sounds like a bunch of drunk old men gone fishing and drinking ended the night short. Little to say, looks like they tore apart a family.

maybe this will stir some discussion up. probably.

i smell the pitching of tents!!!!!!

Hey,

I'm from alberta,canada and I am surely thinking of driving down. I will be in school as usual and probably working like usual so I might come down for the day or 2 depending on a few things but other than that i'd like to get out and get everyone out to have some great times and great food. Anyways i'll check back to see who is posting. take care

patient one is high priority but wouldnt you also radio for more help? Especially considering theres 6 patients and 2 of them are just babies.
