Medication List (field and transport)

[HellsBells]

I think it would be safe and reasonable to take Bretylium off this list.

But I think this person is from across the pond, are they using it over there at all? I say this because I honestly don't know the answer to that question

We don't have the same transport ambulance service as you here in Sweden where I live. As this list shows all your meds I was woundering what kind of drugs you have in your emergency/911 ambulances? I guess the list is a bit different depending on which state and company we're talking about, but generally? Can someone post a list of your emergency-ambulance drugs? Would be interesting to compare with the drugs we're using over here.

BLS - Oxygen, ASA, Oral Glucose, Epi-Pen (Adult and Jr)

ALS - Lactated Ringers, Normal Saline, Adenosine, Amiodarone, Albuterol, Atropine, Benadryl, Calcium Gluconate, Dextrose, Dopamine, Epinephrine (1:1,000 & 1:10,000), Etomidate, Fentanyl, Geodon, Glucagon, Lasix, Lorazepam, Magnesium Sulfate, Metoprolol, Midazolam, Morphine, Narcan, Nitroglycerin (SL and IV), Oxytocn, Romazicon, Sodium Bicarb, Thiamin, Valium, Vecuronium, Verapamil, Zofran

These are the medications that our Medical Director requires us to carry in our rigs. We are allowed to transport and administer many more medications than this but this is what is in all of our trucks. We provide 911, Interfacility and Critical Care Transports daily so we require a few more medications than some of the services that just run 911.

All of our Nationally Registered Paramedics (Iowa Paramedic Specialist or the new PARAMEDIC) are allowed to RSI. We don't have any drugs that are strictly CCP.

D5 = Dextrose 5%

D5-1/2 NS Dextrose 5% with 1/2 normal saline (0.45 NS)

D5-1/4 NS = Dextrose 5% with 1/4 normal saline (0.225 NS)

D5LR = Dextrose 5% with Lactated Ringers

D5NS = Dextrose 5% with Normal Saline

D5W is Dextrose 5% in Water

Hope this helps.

D5 can be D5W or D5NS.... (Our hospital won't let you use D5 as an abbreviation it has to be D5W or D5NS to identify what the Dextrose is diluted in)

Side note I did not know anyone still used D5LR (if someone can tell me what type patient would be getting D5LR in a interfacility transport ?)
