    So did this patient end up in arrest?
  2. akroeze
    Translation please?
  3. akroeze
    We set the rate at 80ppm and start at 0mA and slowly dial up until we have consistent capture then go up by another 5-10mA to ensure a good capture stays.

    For reference, what is considered 'above average', 'average', etc?
  5. akroeze
    Does the law differentiate?
  6. akroeze
    What about special event coverage? Do you have to get a refusal for transport for every band-aid you hand out? You provided care but didn't transport.

    Never heard of having the pt drink the D50... we have the glucose paste

    *steals his second soap box from this thread to add to his collection*

    Here in Ontario the minimum BLS entry to practice is a 2-year diploma.... as in you have to have a 2 year course to do any kind of work on an ambulance. I can tell you that there is no shortage by any stretch of the imagination. Think hundreds of applicants for 20 jobs.

    Are they transport capable? Is that even allowed? If not, then why do they need lights at all?

    What kind of company is this for?

    *runs up and steals your soapbox*

    So what would you recommend as a transport ventilator for a 911 EMS unit to use?
  14. akroeze
    Just wondering what different people use. I know they aren't all that common in EMS but I also know there as some areas that equip their units with them.

    From what EMSA has on their website, I am very impressed by them!

    Where I am doing my ALS placement we are the only truck in the community of 20,908 One of our neighbouring communities on weeknights only has one truck on. When they go out we sit halfway between the two and are covering off more like 52,811

    So they had the facility to do art gases but don't have the facility to manage this patient?

    My understanding is that Lasix is of no benefit. It inhibits reabsorption of Na at the loop of Henle keeping water in with it.... it does not force water out, it stops it from coming back in. Additionally the toxins do not permeate the membrane at that part of the tubule.

    Maybe not, but from what people are saying patient's are hurting without an Ambulance responding... at least not the closest one because the vollies don't think it is 'cool enough' to respond
  20. akroeze
    And what about that anaphylaxis that one day does come in and disptach didn't get that that was what it was so you took your time getting to the truck?
  21. akroeze
    Even if it means someone who wants to devote their career to EMS can't because of lack of jobs? How nice of you

    I personally find it very easy to dilute 10mg of MS into 10cc and can't really imagine the fiddle of doing it any other way.
  23. akroeze
    Out of curiosity, roughly how much time do you spend on the truck check?
  24. akroeze
    Nurse, give this man 200cc of humour STAT! IV or PR, Nurse's discretion
  25. akroeze
    They make 2mg vials of narcan. And it's a lot to be giving someone in one dose... I know, you only have what you're ordered but that's a lot.
