Thanks everyone for the support. I am waiting to hear back about the appeal process.

^ You have a PM. Thank you.

Thanks for the reply! I have checked the paper and discussed with the teacher, and he classed it as I couldn't secure an airway after the two minutes so I had to treat it with the FBAO protocol. What happens now that I failed this for apparently using the wrong protocol? I have to stay...

I did. PCP's can't use forceps anyways. The reply he gave me was "In your protocol, it states that after two minutes if you cannot secure an airway you have to treat it as a FBAO" Adjusting didn't work (modified jaw thrust, head tilt chin lift etc), airways didn't work, nothing worked! How can...

Airway was clear. As I was drawing up my 0.3mg Epi the patient went VSA. I quickly gave my Epi as per protocol, started CPR to circulate it until defib could be hooked up and went from there. Once I put in my oral airway, I got no compliance on bagging, patient was still in VF so I treated this...

I always thought that it was implied you stop to assist until EMS shows up. I have always stopped at accidents when I witness one. You never know, it could mean the difference between life and death. Then again, I don't know how the scope of practice is in the states...especially where you...

PCP's shock VF and Pulseless VT. Choices are Foreign Body Airway Obs. or General Cardiac Arrest (Medical)

Hey guys, I didn't really know where to post this so I decided to try here. Protocols are based in Ontario Canada. I had a final scenario last week in school, and the argument in class was that it could have went in two different directions. The scenario is as follows: (to as much as I can...
