Here's a perfect example why, as of now, you (EMT's in general) have no business carrying cardiac monitors. If anything it makes interpretation that much more crucial with a time-sensitivite injury/ infarct, yikes.I think there is nothing wrong with a Basic applying a 12-lead then transmitting the telemetry to the ED and allow the on call DR to look it over while we're en-route. As a basic rig, we don't need to interpret considering there is little we can do in the field aside from O2, ASA, assist with nitro, rapid transport, making interpretation less important. And, most of our medication interventions require online med control approval.
This post is one big contradiction, IMO.
