Hi. I am doing a little research on ambulance interior configuration and one that really makes me wonder is the one that i have seen in the australian TV show "Recruits" (here is a link to one of the chapters http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGNiiXZUbaU) ¿Does anyone knows what is the...

Here is the deal. If you are looking for experience in trauma patients mexico city is one of the best options you have. You will have to take into account that the pay is really bad and if you are looking for a job in the gov its not such a big deal to get hired if you have your working...

Hello, guys, long time no seeing. I am from Mexico. The purpose of the coroner vehicles to have the ambulance leyend was, as some folks have stated here, because the first "ambulances" here in most cases also were the ones that transported the dead bodies. Later in the history the stayed with...

Hi, Well i think the subject here (After that very good exchange of system views) is the ETCO2 right? Most of the EMS services around the globe are taking that into account when it is time to treat the patient, and more importantly the TBI and stroke patient. Does anyone knows of a study...

From the land of fried beans and sombreros. Here morphine is only used inside the hospital. It is a VERY controlled drug, along with other opiates (Thanks Mexican Druglords). So ambulance services are left with almost nothing. To treat severe pain we got...... wait for it...

An advice from Mexico. Do some oxygen therapy.... (Hit him with the O2 tank) ;) Very used here in my chaotic city

Hello. As a non native english speaker could someone give me a hand and explain to me the term: "burping the dressing" It really caught my attention and i don´t know what you reffer to when you speak of it. Thanks a lot.

You are right nobody said that you had limited resources in that senario. Still. They don´t need.

I stand in my position. The don´t need it. When you have very limited resources one of the first things you learn is not to waste those resources just because you can do something. I really like what TomB says about the traction splints.

I just love to read this posts because here in my town we don´t even have ALS ambulances. 1 in 10 ambulances has a cardiac monitor. With that said. None of this patients need cardiac monitoring. The ETA is absurd. The correct thing to do is finish up with the BLS stuff, like a full...

Hi. Any of the members that are from UK can explain me the difference between HPC and Edexcel. I have been reading a lot and I don´t understand if both of them can give me recognition of my knowledge or just the HPC. Thanks in advance.

Patience? Dopamine effects wear off in 1 to 4 minutes after shutting off the drip.

Hi. Thanks a lot for the tip on the CDC. I went into both links and got good information, more on the CDC than in the other. An about the assaults on EMS providers i will use that information for another article, its just amazing, here in my country there is no evidence and hence no action...

I have researched the HCP site and got a lot of information on the subject. I think i will send them all my paperwork in a few weeks. Thanks a lot for the help is really appreciated.

Hi. I am writing a short article about scene safety and i want some help. Can someone point me out statistics or hard numbers on paramedics injured or killed on duty? Thanks a lot.

Hi. I am an emergency medical technician in Mexico City, Mexico. I have been working on the emergency system of my country for 6 years. And now I want to go to London and practice as a Paramedic. I now you have to go to a "registration" proccess with the heath professions council. I...

Hey Brown. How is the system in New Zeland. I have read a little bit about it and know you are prepared for more than 4 years. Right?

Thanks for the reply. Digging a lot on the web i find out that 3d was the first biphasic units that lifepak took out to the market in the form of a manual defib. So its really a time thing.

Hi. Look BEHIND and below the no smoking signs. This of course looking for it on the outside of the ambulance, look for a compartment door on the outside that is in the same spot as the no smoking sign and open it. Look in the 5 walls of the comparment. Maybe its there, i know a few...
