I have several friends that work there. They are using space caps that have been modified by ESI. They mount them on a regular pick up truck. A friend of mine told me that the module on his truck has been remounted a couple of times and it still holds up great. Obviously, it’s gonna depend on...

I also dumped them.

I’ve got 4 big statpack backpacks I’m trying to sell. I’ll make this guy (and his buddies) a hell of a deal.

What issues does the igel have? The only problem that I was aware of was that of an iGel getting displaced because it was held incorrectly with a Thomas tube holder. You absolutely have to use the elastic band that comes with the iGel to secure it. It needs some downward pressure to ensure it...

We’re also looking seriously at the VOCSN +. It seems to be a very capable vent for our needs.

That didn’t seem exceptionally pro Hamilton. It’s a very nice box. You pay for that though. As I mentioned above, we would primarily use vents for CPAP/BiPAP and during arrests/post ROSC. We very seldom transport vented patients, so the critical care aspect isn’t as important, although it’s...

We just had an exhaustive Hamilton demo and the Zoll rep will be in after the 4th. I am also being pitched the O-two E700 and the VOCSN +. I don’t know much about either of those.

Everyone there was old. Hell, I just turned 55.

I saw Modern English, Soft Cell and Simple Minds in Philly last week and it was absolutely amazing. One of the best concerts I’d seen. (And I’ve been to a LOT of concerts!) It was like the 80s all over again!

I did, but thanks for sharing. It’s a great tool.

Your oxygen supplier can provide you with a cascade style yoke so you don’t simply equalize the pressure between the two.

We would use them primarily for shorter transports, patients primarily on BiPAP. It’s not often that we intubate and ventilate patients in the field, we’re just not that service. But, we would certainly use the vent in that case, as opposed to just bagging a patient to the hospital. We don’t do...

Great info. Thanks.

Hamilton T1 or Zoll Zvent. Real life pros and cons. We are getting demos of both.

Yes. I’m a Zoll fan. I bought them at my previous service to replace a fleet of aging MRx monitors and at my current agency to replace lifepak 15s. The Zoll vs Stryker debate is the same as Ford vs Chevy. You’ll never change anybody’s mind.

It’s on the side. It now turns on as soon as you plug it in, but it’s massimo capno, not oridion. The pouches aren’t a separate case like the current version, they “click lock” directly to the device.

It’s called the Zenix and it has a touchscreen and a knob/dial like the Lifepak. (WTF! They listened) Same basic size as an X series, which will still be produced, and has a redesigned printer, better capnography and some other really nice features. Looks pretty awesome. I only saw the flyer...

We do it. Paramedic is 2 years.

Happy as clams. But thanks for asking.

I just made my own. Wasn’t difficult.
