Uhmm.... ouch!

I think the point was... you give 2mg and they come around good... it starts to wear off and they go down hill yet you wouldn't call to get them out of it again?

I can see your arguement for the pulse ox and conceed the point The other though... what if you have someone who is slightly confused, part of your "routine work up" is to do a BS on this pt. You find them to by hypoglycemic so get them something sweet to drink thus correcting it.

I'm sorry but are you saying that your EMT-Bs can't even correct Hypoxia and Hypoglycemia??

Uhmm... are you employed with TEMS? Ask the boss of it...

After having a pt that experienced flash PE I attempted to do as much reading on it as I could. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places, but I can't find any info on the net relating specifically to flash PE as we would be concerned about it. Lots about with liver and kidney problems but nothing about simple C/P that turns into flash PE. Can anyone help me?

You sir are truly a god among men for bringing this to my attention

uhmmm.... I'm not a member

99... the most used code on an ACR

You people are over-reacting to this. It reminds me of a commercial that was on a while ago (don't know if it is anymore) in which a radio controlled airplane goes out of control in a park and these people have to keep ducking so they don't get hit. My dad is in a RC club and the members were up in arms about this because it implied that RC airplanes are unsafe. In reality, it was just a commercial and that's all!

Just out of curiosity, why are you assuming it's an RPN?

And when we don't figure it out, they are promptly slapped with a huge law suit.

Or what's even better is a PCP who can run an entire call because there is no ALS... sure the guy is in cardiogenic shock and his lungs are filling.... deal with it.

Hit her again at 360. One shock obviously didn't convert her full body fibrillation.

Charging to 360....

My area of Ontario has used it for a few years now.

Pt no longer meets any symptom relief protocols and thus is a load and go. IIRC they should be coarse, wet crackles for Nitro.

Any medium to large city in Ontario, Canada

Our protocol? Ventolin MDI with spacer 9 puffs repeat up to three sets prn if he can't take the MDI: Ventolin 5.0mg Neb x3 prn Rapid x-port Of course, I would want a rhythm strip as well.

Wow.... you manage to find a way to insult Basics in almost every post you make, don't you? Well is the teacher going to be there? Collar/board the teacher... what kid that age doesn't want to see their teacher tied up??

See the flash animation in the middle of the site? Click the big "GO!"

Just thought you might find this interesting: http://ebaumsworldsucks.com/ That's why I'll never go there ever again. I know off topic but I want others to know.

I think my eyes are bleeding now.... is that normal?

Consider this.... Ottawa EMS, if they hire you, is FT only. Going to Algonquin would (presumably) increase your chances of getting hired there. So if you want FT as your first job, go to Algonquin

Well two days ago we had a lady who fell down a flight of stairs and landed on a cement floor in the basement. We figure she was there about an hour before she was found. She was semi-conscious, lethargic, GCS 11 (E1V4M6) and had crackles throughout with a sat of mid-80's on NRB@15lpm. It was good for me in that I am a student and I was able to run the call with no problem. It showed me that I can handle myself even with critical pts. Turned out she had a subdural bleed and the stated her to a neuro-capable facility. Don't know if she is sitll alive or not. We were only on scene somewhere around 15 mins which is really good considering having to extricate her from the house etc.
