See if this link is better. The link to download is at the bottom right, after all the ads. As for NEMSIS, I will look into that. Their dictionary is over 400 pages long, so it may take me a while to come into compliance, but just by glancing at it I think I've already covered most of their...

Okay, I'm leaning towards final draft here. PCR

Okay, I've made some adjustments after meeting with our medical control physicians and I've changed the form a bit. Please leave me input - I don't want to order 500 of these and then realize they're inefficient. Here's the link again.

What do you mean by "knee puncher"?

I know that the sinoatrial node is the primary pacemaker for the heart, and that the atrioventricular node takes over if the SA node's rate drops below a certain level. I believe that the Bundle of His and the Purkinje Fibers are conduction pathways, but I can't tell you their functions...

Most of the departments in the Phoenix area are ALS - all the big cities (Phoenix, Mesa, Scottsdale, Tempe, Gilbert, Chandler, Glendale, etc). Phoenix is the only city FD, however, with their own ambos. So the private ambo companies (mainly Southwest and PMT) do all of the transporting for the...

You are exactly correct... they are blocking a highway. A highway with lots of cars. Fast cars. Being driven by people who probably aren't paying much attention, or people who are rubber necking. Do you want to risk the safety of your whole crew? No, so you park the rig between your crew...

Fair enough. Wasn't trying to be obnoxious, I swear! :)

I don't mean to nit pick, but did you intentionally misspell "frustrates" (I'm assuming frusterates = frustrates) in the same sentence that you criticized refusal to use proper spelling?

How much for any/all of the Minitors?

The only thing I could think of would be in an OB kit for clamping the umbilical cord.

I replied to your PM. Yeah, ASU PD is technically their own department separate from Tempe, but I've seen Tempe PD at every major incident on campus.

There's currently something in the works for ASU. Multiple agencies have to come together to make this work, including Tempe FD, Tempe PD, ASU PD (they're an actual police department, not a "security" group), PMT Ambulance, Campus Health, NCEMSF (as mentioned by MMiz), ASU Risk Management, and...

If I'm going on scene where I know someone is sick (even cold/flu) I will wear an N95 mask. Can't hurt. As for meningitis, I've been vaccinated. There's a big push at my university to get all incoming students vaccinated, as studies have shown that college-aged persons living in dorms are...

Thanks. I've actually seen that before, but I was hoping to find something that talked about general procedures, not just drugs. I have searched around the BEMS site for more info, so I think I might have to call them soon.

I've been having trouble finding Arizona's. If anyone has it, I'd appreciate the addition.

Wow, thanks everyone for the responses! I've already started to reform everything in my head to change things. To answer some questions: -Unfortunately, digital is not (currently) an option. I'll work on it. -We are QRS... not transport. A third-party company will do all the...

Hello everyone, I've been given the rare opportunity to design a patient care report ("run report") for a new EMS group that is (slowly) forming in my area. I was hoping to get input from the people here who have filled out God-only-knows how many run reports. What do you like? What don't you...

As said earlier, speaking in layman's terms won't necessarily make you sound less educated. I'm sure the ED staff is aware that you know your basic anatomy... you don't have to prove anything, especially when it's easier and often preferred that you speak in layman's terms.
