Yep, that stuffs quite nice. We are getting Esketamine back on our vehicles (though if you ask me, that`s bullshit, `cause as far as I know, there are no profound studies, saying that it`s really less hallucinating).

Yeah, it`s quite a procedure to get them on. Don`t know if it`s that practicable to use them on pelvic fractures as well (though I know that they can be used in that way). In that cases, I prefer my good old vacuum stretcher.

In the EMS you treat patients not that long (depending on whether you load and go/stay and play and how long your trip to the hospital lasts). The average time I spent with my patient is possibly an hour (+/-). Therefore I don`t really have a deep relationship to the person who dies. Of course it`s tragic, but there`s a certain distance involved. But there are, of course, cases that affect you more than others. That could be patients you know over a longer period, children, suicides, younger patients, etc.

Hey! I`ve searched the board but found no thread with this topic, so I created a new one. The KED. Just wanted to know how common it is in your areas and how you like it. I trained with it in school quite often, but never used it in the field, `cause neither of the two employers I worked for so far had one. In the area I work, I know of no organization having one - it`s not quite common with us (as well as the spineboard, unfortunately). We use a scoop stretcher and a vacuum mattress.

Thanks for welcome! Yeah, there are some pretty major differences, for one thing we have emergency doctors in the field, which makes thing often easier (but sometimes harder ). Surely, I`m gonna write some stuff about our EMS system in future course.

Hey there! My name is Marius. I`ve just accidentely come across this board and registered myself spontaneously. I`m working in the German EMS as a Rettungsassistent. I`m looking forward to reading some stuff about the anglo-american EMS and participating here myself. Greetings, Marius
