Calling all PA EMTs!

As for Masimo - they have already sold many of them within the state... but who can use them?

Jon, I just noticed you quoted their protocols that they can do Pulse Oximetry. That is the "p" in SpCO.

Second - There are SEVERAL optional protocols in the PA Protocols, including:
Pulse Oximetry, Primary Epi-Pens, and CPAP

The RAD 57 can also be purchased with the option to give a methemoglobin (SpMet) reading. It is still Pulse Oximetry.

Yeah my station has the RAD 57 so we can get SpO2 and SpCO readings, we don't have the option for methemoglobin on them though. We also do carry 2 .3 mg Epi Pens and 2 .15 mg epi pens in the jump bags.

As for CPAP, I like the fact that it is in our scope of practice but we have to be trained on it, and I haven't ever seen a class for it available.

It was a module in our class. What part of PA are you from?

I don't know about his class but my class was before that ne protocol was put into effect. I was in class when the new protocol took over, but at that time there were no "train the trainer" classes yet so that is why it wasn't in my class.
