If it’s not documented in the PCR, shame on them. We are in a big offline protocol region, online medical control is almost never consulted… but when it is, you get that providers name and put it right in the PCR narrative, end of discussion. If it’s in there then this seems like an easy open...

Anyone think these drive-by angry posters are just ffemt incognito - trying to keep this forum on life support? lol

I remember being a brand new EMT at the ripe age of way too young. My mom got me a pre stocked BLS bag from galls because she was so proud and I thought I was king ****. I carried it everywhere in my trunk for a few years. Like so many of us, you included, I had delusions of saving the world...

Honestly it was a long time ago and I don’t have the energy to look it up..

Good point about the packaging taking up far too much space, but if I recall correctly - the king packaging wasn't much better. Just get a McGrath and get better at intubating... (I kid)

Data showed frequent over inflation of the large balloon which was causing airway damage and carotid circulation issues. i-gel was coming out at the same time which didn't have those issues. King airway faded away

FWIW I had to look it up because the king airway is so out of date now that I couldn’t remember.. King isn’t designed to intubate through..

Hang on, lets let our ACLS trained paralegal impart their wisdom..

I’m at “weak troll” or bot with this one.

My dude - the disrespect started exactly on your end.

I have quite a lot of experience of working with the state board of pharmacy and DEA to ensure compliance for tracking controlled medications.. you?

I'm really not sure where you came from or why you ended up here, but you really seem to be out of your element here..

You are wrong.

Ketamine is widely used for chemical restraint in EMS, protocols written by physicians. There’s plenty of support for ketamine.

Long term maybe, but they’re generally not first line in the acute phase.
