Miami-Dade Fire Rescue, IIRC they are one of the oldest FD based ALS systems around

Yep. Miami is where paramedic/hospital telemetry was first put into practice.

I thought paramedic/hospital telemetry originated in Los Angeles County, Ca?

Nope. Dr Eugene Nagel established the first telemetry system in 1965 in Miami with Miami Fire. It was a direct offshoot of the telemetery used in the space missions. It entered routine use in 6'7

I'm a bit of an EMS history buff.

So it wasn't Drs Brackett and Early at Rampart General Hospital, then?

Who knew.











:lol:

 

[NomadicMedic]

Early and Bracket wrote the "2 amps of bicarb and insert an esophageal airway" cardiac arrest protocol.



Bracket was the medical director, wasn't he?

But it wasn't Miami-Dade Fire Rescue, but City of Miami Fire-Rescue, right?

Depends what part of the city you're in.

City of Miami fire rescue
Miami Dade county fire rescue (99% neon yellow trucks)
Coral Gables fire rescue (smallest if the departments, also best paying)
Hialeah fire rescue
Miami Beach Fire Rescue

Correct.
