    AED use in a moving ambulance

    Ever grabbed AED pads, hit analyze and shook your fingers (with the pads on your finger)? Itll say shock advised... My guess is using the AED with the rig moving would have the same effect.

    30yo female code on a BLS transport w/ possible seizure activity.

    Well thanks :) She was deemed stable enough for BLS by the referring MD. Honestly I'm not sure what test were performed. All I got was "blood work and labs were normal" from the RN prior to transport.

    Agreed, the way it happened didn't allow for that unfortunately.

    30yo female code on a BLS transport w/ possible seizure activity.

    ALS was activated and the pt was transported by als. And.. we kept the first in bag and AED in the compartment outside, we're first on scene quite often, its more accessible to grab and go on a call, additionally we'd have to pull over to use the AED in the back of the unit anyways, so we felt...

    30yo female code on a BLS transport w/ possible seizure activity.

    Hx of anxiety - that's all. She had one possible syncopal and that's why she was admitted, no Hx of it. On no Meds and NKDA.

    30yo female code on a BLS transport w/ possible seizure activity.

    Now Fire took off before I could get a look at the 12-lead but I did hear that they did endup bypassing several hospitals to get her to a speciality center - not by pt request. Fire also called and gave us an adahboy

    30yo female code on a BLS transport w/ possible seizure activity.

    No scanner available at the sending facility, she was admitted for a witnessed episode of what the family described as a syncopal. No history of previous syncopal. I did a very thorough assessment to verify, no pulse (at either radial or carotid - just to be sure I didn't miss one) no reps, none...

    30yo female code on a BLS transport w/ possible seizure activity.

    Hey guys, I chose to put this in the ALS section hoping I could get a little more insight from the guys who've completed their medic training. Yesterday I had a 29yo patient on a routine transport to receive a head scan following what they felt was a syncopal episode at home, test came back...

    Medlife Ambulance is a great company to work for!

    You answered your own question. 911 contracts require all the required county and city certs to be provided before they can bid. On top of that, they prefer previous 911 experience before they award a bid

    Doctors Ambulance or CARE in orange county?

    Nah, you can pick all the 911 shifts you want and private cars get 911 calls all the time. They meant it would be 6 months till you can get on a 911 only shift.

    Creative ways to handle weird/eternally angry/burnout/creeper partners?

    I'm having issues with a partner stepping all over me on 911 responses, we're first in and I'm grabbing the gear bags and my partner (the driver) runs into the residence to get there first... and starts an assessment, won't allow me to do my job at ALL. I wouldn't care all that much if he was a...
