As others have said, it hasn't changed much in the 7 years since I left. I had been sent BLS on patients with multi-system trauma, penetrating trauma to the trunk, chest pain that ended up being STEMI.... you name it and LAclownyFire has sent it BLS. I now work as a paramedic in a neighboring...

the last thing we need is more people walking around with more molle gear, he is rendering first aid in canada not Iraq.

I second conterra! best gear available and way better priced than that 5.11 crap. check out the crossbow or the longbow. I used the smaller crossbow when I was on ski patrol and it held everything I ever wanted. conterra-inc . com

all mototurbo radios can page on the digital channels, they can also text message each other and private call. we use one dispatch channel for the county with fire and ems (about 150 units) you can silence the radio until you are paged which is great at night because you dont hear anything until...

the study was presented to the NEMSP conference in January, why are we only now learning about this? how many lives could have been prolonged in the 6 months since then? business as usual for EMS, day late and a dollar short.

we use this in my county, it works great! easier than 30:2 and we have instituted many other changes as well so its hard to say what is causing an increase in survival... but in the past 5 years that we have been actively implementing changes in our resuscitation (read: not AHA guidelines) we...

many areas have already implemented this and are showing great results, trials (which I am trying to find again) show a much smaller decrease in CPP than a pause for ventilation.

I think part time is the best, it gives you time to read and study. and not really, you are supposed to get preferential treatment for a paramedic job if you and a different applicant are equal in all other areas.

Maybe I can clear it up a little for you. 1. Yes NCTI-SB is still active. After the current class is over in May, there will be another A&P class then a medic class usually about 3 months after the prior one finished. However the bosses in roseville make the schedule so that is subject to...

we have a Facebook page?

I tried doing this at work and found a bug/glitch. I kept getting this after the basic demographics page. "Script function not found: doPost" Windows 7, IE 9 version 9.0.8112.16421 update 9.0.23. DSL 3Mbt down.

Exedus, my brother married a dutchie and it was a very long and complicated process for him to even get a work visa he finally gave up and she is moving here. you should investigate how hard it will be for you to immigrate to the netherlands, I know my brother has been married for two years...

before we had shore power at every station we had solar panels installed on the roofs. worked great on clear days but we still had a lot of dead batteries when we got dispatched to those 6am calls... I would say the best is to use a combination of solar panels and a dedicated battery bank for...

yes, the patient can spontaneously breathe though the tube and BVM, there is a one way flutter valve in the bvm that allows the patient to breathe even when you are not actively bagging. so I would say yes it is possible that the patient was breathing in addition to your (the FD) ventilation...

NEMSIS requires that all EPCR data is formatted in the same XML format with the same 380 (about to be 536) data points. Image-trend is compliant with this and as long as ESO is nemsis gold compliant as well they can migrate directly over so long as no runs currently on eso servers have the same...

it will work... those things can take a beating better than my last partner.

we used to have the Pulmodyne unit, and before that the bousignaick (SP?) but we have switched to the FlowSafe and love it. the bousignick had no control, it was all guess work as to how much PEEP the person was actually getting. but it was very simple and took up no space. the pulmodyne...

I am unaware of any new standards that are in effect, could you please post a link? the speed limit in NFPA1917 is 77mph which I believe is adequate for all states and in faster than I would ever want to be in the back of an ambulance anyway.

as opposed to what other standards? KKK? many states out there do not have any standards and as I see it the NFPA standards take a much better opinion on provider safety and ergonomics than KKK does. I am in full support of the NFPA ambulance standards.

fairly clear cut, if they dont want treatment then I am not going to treat. turn them over to LEO as an unaccompanied minor and let them deal with who to give the kid to. its a stand-by so you have plenty of time to work that out. I have called the agency that is the LEO for the area the parents...
