What do you guys use?
We carry Droperidal on our trucks. Some of our medics are quick to use it....others, like mine would prefer to first try and tie the patient down.
Do you guys have to call for orders for it first or is it part of protocols? We carry it, but have to get Med Control on the phone before using it. But then, we brought an extremely combative pt in from an MVA the other day and our Medical Director told my medic if he is in the ER and she needs it, just use it and tell him when she gets there.
