You will not be on ALS, those are dual medic. Fire is not in charge especially in certain cities like Chula Vista where they are just getting ALS back in the fire side. That being said, when you work as a private and interact with employees of the city you contract for (fire) you generally show...
At typical dosages of fentanyl blood pressure is minimally affected, therefore maybe reducing chest pain but not reducing the workload of the heart.
My understanding.
Considering AMR lost the contract years back, I doubt it'll be purely numbers for them. Paramedic plus was looking at the bid, should be interesting. I thought they proved there was no foul play with the numbers.
I didn't treat anything because the patient was asymptomatic with me, triage MICN ordered an EKG because of the PVCs, found to have a undertmined age NSTEMI, unknown what follow up care was done.
history is frequently changing, but consistency in duration 1 month, intermittent in severity, weaker than normal, today became SOB, unprovoked lasting "few moments" but resolved, EKG "abnormalities not acute frequent pvcs" per the machine, no obvious ST elevation, some q wave, no med changes...
You AOS to find a 90yoF laying supine on top of her bed fully fully dressed, per family she has had an ongoing dry cough for a month, she has seen her doctor who diagnosed it as a postnasal drip, today she had a sudden episode of SOB after lunch, family wants her revaluated.
She appears to be...
This x2. The paramedic is in control of the scene. That means everything immediately affecting his patient(s). There was no interference, and if they're dealing with a traumatic arrest surely there are more important things to focus on than a lookey-loo 100 yards away.
I think delegate is in regard prehospital on scene management. In the US, prehospital providers are trained rigorously to handle emergency scenes, something that could be taught to RNs, most definitely, but it is not the focus in nursing education. Paramedics are trained to turn chaos into...
I think what Vene is saying is very accurate, as someone who has worked as a medic(FF?) and then gone on to the university level and medical school.
Everyone is out here measuring their ****'s. I don't agree with the RN here or some of the medics. I bet if I met either of you I would think...
What they should do is require greater education, which would in turn result in great levels of care for its citizens.
It would self limit cause it wouldn't be 4 unit or 2 week emt program, or shake n bake medic program.
Your desired economic outcomes would follow (less workers, better...
