spenac

Whats wrong with the doc, me and rid had successfull crics. Good scenario thanks.

Now thats a frat party.

I got to agree with rid. Get a good airway established. It's just a matter of time before it's no longer patent. If it is no longer patent a needle cric will allow your partner to move a little air into the patient while you prepare for the cric. A suggestion is to place 2 needles for the needle cric, one with a flutter valve like in chest decomp. A needle cric should be in use no more than 5 minutes and replaced with a tube during surgical cric. But that all can be avoided by early ET tube placement in the trauma patient. If as stated is a difficult tube use your partner, cricoid pressure or for a sky hook. Several ways to get a good look at your landmarks. Don't stay and play this guy needs a good trauma team yesterday to make it.

We use terbutaline(brethine) on the ambulance but guess I had never seen or realized if our little hospital was using the alcohol drips. Live and learn.

When saw this post thought it was some new frat house game. Rid what type of alcohol drips were given to OB's and why? Thanks.

To attain a good seal also keep in mind you can shave area so allows better seal. A little time consuming but if you have a long transport worth it if you can only provide BLS air support. Patient if they ever wake up may not like it but your talking life over hair. The gell seems like it dissappears after a while, so if go that route remember to re lube.

I get you now. I agree don't rush to it. I don't work with lots of different people so don't see all the people jumping to quickly to abandon IV first.

Post pronounced at 1134. Darn basic dispatchers kill everyone.

EZ-IO all the way. Forget IV's everybody gets IO. Just kidding but I hope that one day I'm as good as AZCEP and no longer need another option for access. AZCEP you now get 2 attempts on a person thats been down, then supposed to go IO, so even though I've never had to do it I do keep adult IO available. I'm not so proud that if it all goes to hell that I will just keep sticking and digging. I am not trying to start a fight but your statement made it sound as if only poorly skilled providers would ever fall back on IO. Sorry if I read to much into your statement.

Darn your tough. I'll get right on it. :twisted:

What was the original post do I really have to read all 18 pages?

To much nice is killing this bash, quick ALS to the rescue. :salute:

Not anymore. But I say cric this post and get it breathing again.

Mcgyver did it first, doug copied him.

Much better technique than we use to get those results.

Almost as bad as... oops nope can't hijack thread will wait and post on bash site if I remember.

Rid is potential opening code for spenac is getting fired you easily can fill his place? :?:

Sharp gutting hook on my knife works better than shears. :twisted:

Come on you and Timmy are defeating the purpose of this post. I demand more bashing

Sad but true, hey look I didn't bash you whats wrong with me better dial 911.
