JakeEMTP Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 C-Collar on incorrectly ( askew), hard to take a pulse with a watch on. His head isn't immobilized either by manual stabilization or tape. I can't be sure, but the straps look loose on the LSB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace844 Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 additionally the LSB isn't secured to the stokes, and there are no head blocks in place, and the patient is 'crooked' on the board. Nort to mentione the complete lack oif other medical care and treatments... :roll: :shock: ACE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8151 Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Why is it we slam Fire at every chance? It is a picture at a particular moment. The pt. was removed by fire ( see scene safety ). Oh well, let the fire bashing begin :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghettomedic351 Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Oxygen? It's highly overrated. Besides, you normally get 21% in room air. Seeing all the debris around, this patient might be getting 16% by room air. Sheesh, I don't even know why we carry it. It's just one more piece of equipment we have to drag around. :roll: For those of you in the cheap seats, that was sarcasm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
