1st intubation! Any advice?

I keep hearing stats on how traumatic arrests have one 1% or .1% whatever chance of survival, thus we don't even attempt. What confuses me is how close that is to non traumatic arrest survival. It's not like medical arrests are that high either. You'd think that if 5% (or whatever stat for medical saves...they seem to vary each time I look them up) is enough, then .1% would also be enough, especially since the one save is worth a lot...

Or am I being told bad data?

Not told bad data but from the numbers you are quoting that would be a 50x increase. That is a huge difference.
Sure...but I don't see much problem with it. Every code you run just makes you more proficient for the next one that WILL matter...as long as we're not transporting or anything...
