ll depends on where you apply. Some services run only Paramedics , others also use basics. In the eastern end of NC, East of Charlotte sees a lot of basics on their trucks, because of lack of funds to hire paramedics.
On the western end of the state the level of care is MUCH better...
65% glad you not working near me or mine
Our schools here in NC , require a min. of 80% to pass , EMT and Paramedic!
Not much of a bar or much said on pt. care if you are expected to be wrong 35% of the time....
Sorry if this bites ...just calling it as I see it. TOO SLACK:sad:
Yes , we use it for the reasons you described here in NC.
We also use it for Ventricular Dysrhythmias. 1.5mg/kg IV/IO
Its used quite often , with positive results. Its part of our protocols.
