Yah, my thought was give 500cc and then see where she stands. I was just about to draw up the Lopressor, but something in my gut was telling me to call MC. So idk, and this guy use to be our medical director... so ? haha

We get called to a local nursing home for a female that is weak, increased temp, lethargic, and SOB. On scene we find a 72yo female laying supine in bed with staff in the room. Staff stated that pts condition has been deteriorating for the past couple days, but do not know when it exactly...

I hope things settle down for you over there. Wish the best to you and your family. tydek

We have the RoadSafe in every truck, management can always be watching us. We have GPS and everything. From their computer, they can see where we are, how fast we are going, are we using lights and siren, etc etc.... they know our every move:unsure: haha We had an incident last fall and the...

Someone has already started a thread about her :D http://www.emtlife.com/showthread.php?t=12261 tydek

There are a lot of Volunteer BLS services around here. First Responders are always in the back doing pt care with an EMT. So yes, they can/do ride, as there has to be an EMT (or higher) in back.

They all look real good :D No complaints from me.

I have heard of those... but think a GlideScope would be better to carry on trucks. They do have Reusable and Single Use configurations for the GlideScope, of course the single use would work great for EMS. They have been being advertised on JEMS for a long time now. Here is a picture of a...

So those of you that work for services that have the Drive Cams... Do they also incorporate RoadSafe, or do they feel the Cams are enough? We have RoadSafe here, there has been talk about getting the Cams, but nothing has come of it yet. tydek

Whoops, did not see that one:blush: My bad

Hi all, I saw this on another forum, and thought I would post here to share it with everyone. Have any of you seen these? Heard of them? I had never heard of these and think it would be different to come across someone wearing it :unsure: tydek Link to the product...

Haha, just relax and remember to keep an open mind during it. Ask A LOT of questions and do as much pt care as you can. My recommendation is to talk to the crew before the day starts. I always pull students aside and ask them what they want to learn today. I ask what they feel comfortable doing...

Yup, back to 100% ALS :D I did not think the BLS would last long... did not even make it a year.

Good Morning Sapph, :birthday: Have a good one! tydek:beerchug:

We carry Metoprolol here. The one time I have had to use it, it got the job done. The pt did not experience any of the side effects associated with the drug, except a little dizziness. I believe this service use to carry Cardizem, but found that it was easier to store Metoprolol on the trucks...

I had always been somewhat interested in EMS... Every week my entire family would stop everything and watch Rescue 911 :p Well, what got me serious about EMS is Boy Scouts... yes I said Boy Scouts :D We had this "Disaster In the Valley" camp out. We reviewed basic first aid, plus some more...

I plan on staying a Paramedic :) Of course, I will get my CCP and continue my education in the EMS feild. I have thought about going into Nursing, but always find more reasons to stay in EMS. I like it here and plan to stay for a long, long time :D tydek

I remember In A Heartbeat B) Us to watch it when I was younger haha, it was on the Disney Channel here in the States.... although it only lasted one year due to criticism. But I liked to watch it, because I knew nothing about EMS back then... was just getting interested in it. tydek

I know of an awesome website, its quizes are set up just as the NR test is. Even split into the different categories.... now there is a catch, its not free, but is VERY reasonable. I used it, and it helped be a lot! Not so much on knowledge, but more on how to read a question and break it down...
