I would like to state for the record that I do NOT have a penis.

I am a female.

I HATE education people.

They teach us one thing, then a few days later say they didn't teach us that, we aren't doing what they told us.

Also found out tonight BLS can't give oral glucose in my system anymore. Apparently too many people were giving it to unresponsive patients, so it is now strictly an ALS skill.

Incorrect. You're female. Therefore you have the ability to acquire and discard peni at will. Don't mistake attachment with ownership.

Not to :deadhorse: But that's what my protocol states to do. With a pt who is unconscious and a confirmed hypoglycemic.

Anjel, I wasn't saying I hate education people because of the oral glucose. The educator tonight taught us how to use King airways a few weeks ago, and now tonight said that all 4 of us that were in his class were doing it wrong, and that the way we were doing it was not how he taught us. *Rip my hair out!*

Oh I know. I was just stating that it was strange glucose got taken out of your system for that reason.

I totally understand what you are saying about educators..

I'm wondering how you can do a King wrong... select proper size, bury it to the hub, inflate with 60-80 mL of air, pull back while ventilating until it seats and compliance becomes good, walla!

Here any person that cannot manage their own airway is a contra to oral glucose. It becomes an airway hazard.

There are ways to give an unconscious unresponsive patient glucose. Put it on a tongue depressor like a lollipop and place it then place them in the recovery position and be VERY wary of their airway.

caveat: I would never do this while working for my present service seeing as I have D50 in my protocols but in a serious bind it's a last resort solution.

2nd caveat: I'm not advocating anyone do this, I'm just relaying a technique that I was taught.
