Oxygen

..... thats it, in some areas they can contact medical control physician to "assist" with salbutamol and GTN

Likewise I am curious to see what medications could the old IHCD Technician give?

You know I know there was an IHCD Module J which was the last part of the Paramedic Award, shucks, should have been extended to include a Module K, we all know how important a dose of Kiwi in prehospital medicine is

I know you're not a liar mate,I didn't say you were

The IHCD Module K I was taking the piss over, taking the piss is something I do often and liberally

If you have the IHCD Technician or Paramedic manuals do feel free to send me what you have, we've just killed off the old Intermediate Care and Paramedic Awards here in favour of Uni (sort of like what you are doing with the DipHE/FdSC for Paramedic even tho I can't figure of the difference between a DipHE and an FdSc)

Hmm, it looks like a go, I think something is going down at the fish and chip shop, best get down there and convey a specimen back to complex on blue lights for appropriate investigations, namely salt and ketchup ... red base November 100 responding

In NY, EMT's are now allowed to give oxygen, albuterol, ASA, epi pen and are able to assist the patient in taking their OWN nitro and inhalers. That's it. They arent even allowed to check a patients blood sugar :/

[mikemedic999]

So what can emt A do that emt I and emt B cant?

As for the specimin please check the consistancy...dont want diho.......diorr....the shits lol

The US is in a state of flux from well now until about 2017 (sort of like how you blokes are phasing out Technicians in favour of ECA) to three levels from eleventy gazdillion different ones across the 50 states

EMT will be about a 150-200 hour course and will have oxygen, OPA/NPA, AED, aspirin and glucose

Advanced EMT will be maybe another 100-200 hours ontop and can put in a drip, LMA, administer entonox, salbutamol, D50W, GTN, IM adrenaline and naloxone

Paramedic is above that

In the US vocational education (like the old IHCD Awards) will still be acceptable, no higher education or university is required.

This comes from a document called the EMS Agenda for the Future which was has been in development for nearly 20 years (1994-2008) and unfortunately they have achieved little, in the same or less time Ireland, the UK, Canada, AU, SA and NZ have become several light years ahead of the US.

It deeply saddens me.

Hmm, I think I ate too much of that specimen, I'm off to have a kip, red base, November 100 will be assessing the pillow for some time

[mikemedic999]
