All the cardiac and raspiratory calls are fine with me...
PALS is one the most intersting subjects as well:)
CPR might be nice but it's to much routine'ish'...
About the IV case, I'm allways taking BP from the second hand, the only one time I didnt, blood was getting to the Saline bag, not recomended at all...
The leg case, as much as I remember you take it just above the ankle, but I'm not entirely sure:wacko:
It is prertty easy to take BP on a healty guys, the real practice is on hard pts. Also try to take the systolic without scope, but with your fingures on the Radial A. you will fill only the systolic, we usally use this method in Trauma when the systolic is more vatial.
Good luck
Last night my team and myself got a call about a 50 yo. man that complain on chest pains. When we arive 56 years old man seats in his car sweat the hell out of himself and complains about palpition.
