    Zoll AED Plus

    We use the AED Plus in our patrol cars on the PD and Zoll E-Series in our ambulances. In the 3 years they have been in service we have used them a total of 5 times, with 3 successful resuscitations. The units have some nice features, they are capable of storing the rythm information and our...

    Prn

    Hmmm Funny... The technical Latin definition of this is really: "for the thing born". Its amazing how things develop into other definitions.

    EMT Tricks of the trade

    Try this one: I know several people who like to stick their pens in their mouths....don't. If you touched the pt with your glove and now you put the pen in your mouth, it like you just licked your glove.....you might as well forget the PPE.

    EMS and taking pictures of incidents...

    If we have a full crew (two EMTs and a driver), if there is the time, or we might ask one of the officers of FF to snap a photo or two of the car itself that our pt is coming out of and one of the scene, our ER docs have requested these if possible so that they might have a better understanding...

    police officer keeps man from dying relative

    Vent, I agree with you, the officer should have left it alone after the ticket was issued, but this whole situation got dragged into the media, if it was an ordinary Joe Schmo the media probably wouldn't have given it a second thought, but I feel that because this was a "football player" this...

    police officer keeps man from dying relative

    OK...... Since I am a COP first and an EMT second, I feel that I get a say in this. First, no one including myself is above the law, what the football player did was wrong, he had ABSOLUTELY no right to break the law, failure to stop at a stop sign or light is still breaking the law, your...

    Limited use of Lights and sirens

    I would have to disagree, but I am not looking to go head to head against you Vent, just want my opinion heard. Be it some departments probably do have policies, but most that I have seen, worked for and with, leave the discretion WHERE it should be, with the officer or the driver. Our FD in the...

    Limited use of Lights and sirens

    Anyone notice that most of these L&S articles deal with EMS more than Fire or Law Enforcement? I would bet that if the people who wrote these would start attacking the other two emergency fields there would be a great uproar. Just my opinion.
