I believe it's a perceptual difference. With the Port02, you saw patient's sp02 rapidly increase, plus there was the palliative effect of the cool oxygen. Patients related they "felt" better, even if they were still CTD. With the Pulmodyne, the fio2 is less, but the peep was equal or better than the PortO2. (I don't recall the volume, but it's in the presentation I did, probably still on the medic drive) Medics wouldn't see an immediate increase in Spo2, but the patient would improve. Older medics who only measured success by spo2 expressed great displeasure with the Pulmodyne, but in my experience, each application was relatively easy and resulted in a measurable improvement and a patient that didn't get tubed. (With an exception of those patients too far gone for CPAP to make any measure of difference)

Hey guys,

I just wanted to wish you all a very happy and healthy 2015.

I know I can be an *** at times, but I truly only wish the best for each and every one of you.

And to the guests as well. Thank you for visiting.

I'm pretty sure they will still tested but they were hit by a guy who was DUI. The police found a stolen gun in his SUV too.

Ooh and he was uninsured.

Bad day for him.

Not to worry... I'm sure the shop will just buff that right out and put it back on the street.

Unless the gun's worth more than $950, it's now "just" a misdemeanor... That's now the least of the driver's worries.

@DesertEMT66 Hope everyone is okay.

Their facebook page said none of the firefighters were injured.

A hot gun is generally an automatic felony, iirc.

A hot gun is generally an automatic felony, iirc.

Sadly, California voters passed Prop 47 which changed quite a bit. Stolen gun is generally treated like any other stolen property. If the value is >$950, it's a Felony. If not, Misdemeanor. Here's a media release from the Sacramento Sheriff's Department:

Wowza!!

For a crazy gun control state that seems ridiculously light.

 

[Akulahawk]

It was one of those "unforeseen" things about that Prop... and that part of it never got any press. The LE community knew about it but whatever noise they made about it didn't seem to make the news.

Well... I went down on New Year's Eve on the triumph. Femoral neck fx, scaphoid fx. Bikes ok.
I've been hospitalized for 3 days, leaving today finally. Got some interesting scars from the surgery on the femur.

 

[PotatoMedic]

Why do I feel like you have all the good luck. Glad your out of the hospital!
