    Mouth To Mouth Question

    It just feels to me like it needed included, my paramedic called it an unknown fluid in her run sheet which just seems too vague. I have to do a run sheet also because its our policy here. MMiz, I have seen the gauze used on TV before, that was in the bag (smacks self in head). They are...

    Mouth To Mouth Question

    I worked a cardiac arrest on a 2-3 month old child today. I am used to running on a BLS truck that has all 3 sizes of BVM's in the bag but our ALS bag only has an adult so I ended up wiping the mouth off and giving two quick breaths when I scooped the baby up and ran to the ALS truck while doing...

    I wouldn't do it My old partner brought his mom in, hooked her up on the cardiac monitor, ran the 12 lead, and then while she was on it, she started complaining of chest discomfort and we called for a paramedic. Because I was present at the station and read what the ECG printed out as a...

    How many of your services equip trucks with MDTs?

    Be Careful! The Panasonic Toughbook can not withstand being ran over by a 2001 Ford Type 2 Ambulance. It held up better than my personal laptop would have but it was still garbage. I only wish we had taken pictures.
