Does anybody know where I could get bottled helium? I want to put an intra-aortic ballon pump machine in the back of my car with my jump kit in case I stumble upon a critical care patient in a traffic collision or something. B)

Also, i am considering a portable ultrasound in case I suspect internal bleeding with my 110 hours of training.

Why not? Another skill I can brag about!

Besides, I once watched a six minute youtube video on FAST exams. I am obviously competent enough.

Do you have an ECMO? I just put one in the trunk of my Smart car-- im sure the time will come up soon when I find a neonate and it will be absolutely nessecary-- and I will have saved a life.

What is this world coming to?

Ultra-scoud Can be found here you need to have a look and insure that its is calibrated correctly and also which type of ultra sound you require. you may need to invest in a number of different instruments depending on where and when you need it, may i suggest a portable one and one that can be placed on a stand at a stationary venue. This could be adapted when the patient is in a prone semi recumbent position.


As for the helium, many gas company's supply helium in small portable cylinders for use in the party industry, i might suggest contacting AirProducts at 0800 389 0202. Talk to Ján Itor he helped me out in the past with attaining a disposable carbon wrap cylinder (33% more gas that a "D")

I have a level three NICU in my garage, so I got the ECMO covered. I am building a rig that can fit an ECMO machine in the summer.

Do you have that new car with the radiology suite electronics where the spare tire normally mounts and a pathology lab in the glove box?

Well what if the pt needs emergency cautrization or stitches or something? So you can dx the eternal bleeding but can do nothing for it. Where are you going to attach your portable OR?

He could always attach it to that new side loading ambulance and use the ambulance to pull it around.

ive begun offering mobile interventional radiology services in my service area.

sometimes, i have to cut off the transporting ambulance forcing them to stop so i can offer my help but its worth the frequent arrests and the pending court case to revoke my license to really help my patients.

I suggest filling your car with prefilled helium balloons from your local party store.

Wait, you mean my BLS bag in my trunk can't save everyone? I thought once I added the D cylinder I became god's gift to medicine...

No, you need a full ALS kit with some extras from the hospital first. I recommend spending some quality time in the ER supply room. Chest tube trays,thoracotomy trays, a heart lung machine, anything you can find.
