First ambulance shift down here in months and I get a facility complaint for not stopping at admissions.

Whatever. Hadn't even cleared before they called it in.

Were you picking up or dropping off?

Were you picking up or dropping off?

Dropping off. When I was last here that facility didn't care if we stopped. Now it's the end of the world if we don't. Oh well.

Do all drips work with the clock method?

Only if the concentrations are the same if I'm not mistaken.

Amio you shouldn't need it. It's either 100, 150 or 600 gtts depending on your drip set, and at that you shouldn't be using a 60 gtt set for amio unless you can accurately count 10 drops per second

Dopamine I've never heard of a clock but there is a shortcut to get to 5 mcg/kg/min but it's better that you learn the math and get good at the math before you start using cheater ways.

Isn't medication math fun!

I used it for Lidocaine.

I know a short cut for dopamine, but poetic said it was too difficult lol

You take the persons weight in kilograms. So say 60kg. Drop the 0. and minus 2 from the 6. You would give 4gtts a minute of dopamine to give 5mcg/kg/min or something like that lol

So I was just wondering what else. My teacher said you have to use a 60gtt set for every med?

I keep hoping for an RSI or maybe a good trauma. But then I get another crashing patient and I fail them, when will I realize that wishing for bad things to happen is not who I should be. I need a vacation.

The way I look at it, your not wishing for bad things to happen, just that when they do happen, that you are the one to be there to help them and to further your experience.

*******Spoiler alert******
Do not look if you cant do real dopamine math yet!!























Pt wt in #, drop last digit, -1 = 5mcg/kg/min
#150 , 15, 14 gtts

Double results for 10mcg/kg/min. Dop math in your head in 1 second

Nothing better than having people you have lost all respect for on their knees, begging you for help because they finally realize that they were idiots for failing to realize how much they were benefiting from your skills...

SUCKS TO BE YA... BIOTCHS!!! :rofl:

Went CODE 3 (red lights and sirens) for my first time ever today... twice. It's been about 8-9 months since I started, and it finally happened. Wooh!

 

[TheLocalMedic]

LOL, first time code 3 driving. Didn't kill anyone or leave your partner with gray hair, right?

Just posted some IFT truck pics in the Post Crawl thread. If you work for an IFT in Houston Texas go see if I took a picture of you taking a nap in a parking lot. There may even be a pretty girl in some of the photos
