Actually it looks like Stryker has a lawsuit out...from just 2 days ago. http://www.rfcexpress.com/lawsuit.asp?id=52961

Ahh...yes. I've seen both, and the stryker unit is far better built. I'm surprised that it's really only ferno and stryker. I guess those two companies pretty much run the marketplace.

I would not suggest purchasing this product. Check out this story... http://www1.ktbs.com/news/east-texas-ambulance-company-says-stretchers-have-reliability-problems/

Took the NREMT exam today (2nd time) and just found out I passed :P! I'd like to help some others now, so post away!!

Thanks guys, I can't give all the details of the question, but the correct answer was supp o2 via non-rebreather. I was just a curious on others input. If I could post the entire quesiton I think everyone would agree it was non-rebreather even with the shallow and rapid breathing.

My thoughts exactly! In a perfect world his shallow and and rapid breathing would slow with application of 02. I suppose the rapid and slow is a direct cause of the knife in the chest and/or lung.
