Many years have passed and now my Ops guide is outdated.. would anyone happen to have a current version? I previously purchased it with the FDNY Foundation for $15, they mailed me a CD. I cant find that link anymore...

Yes i have, i found it easier because kids are small , easy to handle.

Oh I missed that earlier. Oh HELL NO, thats definitely RX ONLY. Totally NOT in the realm of first aid. White text is hard to see

Oh my! Omg

From the King county protocol. "When the patient’s oxygen saturation is 95% or greater, do not administer oxygen." That is a nice attitude. It is always good to learn i can agree. But that protocol, i think its just so you dont waste your O2. Like, its already 95 % on room air, shrug, I...

I already know where the agency goes, but that place is huge and does big orders, like really big, and Im not sure if they would bother with one customer with one tank. I'd ask the Medical Director, but I doubt he would know the answer to my question, as I am certain, as it is also said, very...

Hi All, After considering the purchase, and being how it will still be perhaps 700-800 dollars out of pocket after the tax credit from the state... Its not going to be this year. thanks for your participation !

I think the Good Sam applies to you, as long as you don't royally screw up and you aren't being paid for what you are doing at the time.

perhaps "permission" is not the best word, I mean like, I just ask to see if anyone knows of a nice place to fill in my area, and I get all sorts of ...... you know what I mean...

As it is... Im going with the mainstream. no matter what you encounter in life, there is going to be a little bit of controversy. most recently I encountered the Sea Salt person who claims regular salt is "all chemical" and sea salt is "natural" and yada. there was the diet soda makes you...

um.. its just gonna be a D tank in a bag... you already have that don't you?

I respect your right to free speech, as this is America, ( at least where I am typing) however I respectfully disagree, I have been doing first aid for over 25 years, with time in military and law enforcement and most recently EMS. Why would I ever change my mind about having O2 at home...

Let me define "Cool" for you as I was using it. I mean it as "being a positive" or "good" You probably think I was going to put sunglasses on it. Sometimes you will hear the reverse usage of the word cool, such as, "I just stole the wallet from the patient" ! upon which you say " THATS...

Thanks guys, I ended up ordering a few 36" generics. I do however have some free SAM brand finger splint samples I picked up at the EMS expo in Vegas a few weeks ago, I will do a comparison when the generic arrive..

To you people who don't agree, or cant see the reason why... that's just your personal preference. I have money, It isn't expensive, Its something I would like to have. I will never force you to go get one yourself, but I think having a first aid 02 bottle to help ppl in emergencies...

I said it over the life of the thread, the 02 is for the first aid kit to help others if needed. my research indicates that o2 is Rx except if used in emergencies at 6 lpm+ and it can last a certain amount of minutes. and I have linked a reference and also a retailer that sells such o2 with...

you are not a nurse, I was referring to the nurses that are rude to the OP. You prob get to sit and watch TV and browse the internet for most of your tour...

that definitely sparked my interest and will do more research...

It may not be your reason, but I cant say my reason, which is to have one in my first aid kit in case it is needed in an emergency, is wrong. I think my reason is actually very right ! Being how there is no shortage of cylinders out there, my purchase will not deprive any particular sector of...

My research indicates that should the test date come, it does not have to be tested until you are done using it. then it must be tested before it is refilled. there is no need to empty a tank just to have it tested. ( what a waste ) let me pause here where I find a link... here: "If a...
