Thank all of you for your replies to this subject matter I was attempting to obtain research that I already have not found using google search you know research that some members here may have that kind of stuff. The sarcasm and feeling of lack of knowledge or education from asking a simple...
Long story short me and my operations supervisor got into a knock down drag out on some things most importantly strokes, stemi's, and the running of emergency traffic to the hospital.
So here is what i need from my friends here at EMTLIFE.
I have researched all three topics and can not...
We use them in my service but truthfully unless you start on them you probably wont like them. Ive intubated once with them and hate them with a passion they don't allow my hand positioned the way that I learned to intubate .
