    Overdrive Pacing

    Yea I believe it was. Breaking the cycle by taking control and bringing it to where you want it to be is the thought process. Ive found some information on it on web but I wanted to see if anyone has ever seen it first hand or if it was a protocol that someone might have had back in the day and...

    Overdrive Pacing

    I was on shift tonight with my partner, he is an older medic about 26 years in, he told me about overdrive pacing for SVT. Came about due to witnessing a SVT come into the ER while we were waiting for a bed (they did not use this technique for those curious). He said they used to teach it in...

    When/why do you guys intubate?

    One of the main reasons services perfer the King over the combi is going to be because of the ease of inflating one lumen instead of two for the combi. Also with the combi you have to place the BVM on one of two tubes. While bagging you have to listen for epigastric sounds, lung sounds and look...

    @DrParasite started class today was correct its Mon and Thurs 8-5 and Tuesday 8-5 but Tuesday falls off sept 9 its to get skills down before doing clinicals. Also the 8 hours on Tuesday apparently go towards the 600 clinical hours. All in all not too terrible of a class (so far).

    In NC what is the difference between advanced emt and intermediate?

    I'm currently a basic in NC and I'm starting medic on Monday. North Carolina is one of the least expensive states to take a medic program, currently taking it for roughly 600 dollars that's books, uniform, and tuition. It's a 6 month class instead of an 8 month or 11 month.

    Industrial Medic

    Hey Matt, that's the kind of contract I'm looking at applying for. What kind of certs are they looking for with that being so remote and which companies are still operating overseas? I have military experience as well if that helps any.

    EMS Student

    I just finished my basic here in NC. It really is not as difficult as people tend to think. Sure there are some challenging topics but it's nothing a quick reference to the book or question to the teacher via email to get it. I think what tripped me up the most was hypoxic drive but took less...
