Although i can't speak for NR - every protocol I've ever heard of - including ours here - is systolic >100.

I much prefer the GPS over the map books; however, it never hurts to have them around as a backup.

Hi Everyone, A few Ontario Services (Ottawa, Windsor, etc.) have fleece work-shirts with the Scotch-lite reflective striping on them. I've searched high and low for these items (for members of our service), but haven't been able to locate them. Anyone know who makes these? Pictures...

All the services in the province are required to use similar style straps, with things like spider straps, etc. not being permitted. According to our Provincial Equipment Standards, the min. requirements are as follows. The complete restraining system must: • consist of four (4)...

Bought my boots (Haix Airpower R2) from AllHandsFire.com. Best pair of boots I've owned yet.

As far as boots goes - I'm a big fan of the Haix Airpower R2's. I just bought a pair a few months ago and am pretty impressed. They aren't the cheapest boot out there - but they do live up to their (well deserved) reputation of being extremely comfortable. I bought mine from AllHandsFire...

We use Gravol (dimenhydronate) IM or IV here as our (only) antiemetic drug.

I think a lot of it comes down to personal preference and local policy/regulations. Waterproofing certainly wouldn't be a bad thing - weather its water, blood, urine, or vomit - I don't want my feet getting wet. Note: Some boots have a specific Blood Born Pathogen resistance rating...you...

Around here discounts vary from location to location throughout the county. However, we typically get 20% off at Arby's, free Slurpee's from 7-11, and 10% off at Dairy Queen. Other venues will occasionally provide us with a discount; however, this is typically done on a case by case basis.

We use the StatePacks BackUp bag as well. Although I like the bag insofar as organizational options are concerned, we have noticed a higher (than expected) failure rate with the zippers on our bag. Not sure if we just ended up with a lemon or if this is a more widespread problem. I've also...

Our Nitro protocol here requires IV access UNLESS the pt. has a previous hx. of Nitro use.

Haha...very true!
