I don't think STL fire can. They JUST got IN Narcan this past week and I am looking at it now and it says 4mg/0.1mL. If they are really pushing 0.1mL then they don't have much to work with.

That dosing is ridiculousI don't think STL fire can. They JUST got IN Narcan this past week and I am looking at it now and it says 4mg/0.1mL. If they are really pushing 0.1mL then they don't have much to work with.

Yea, they're going big with it. I have a feeling I won't be doing much IV titration now.

I'm working on a record I think... 17 year old self inflicted GSW to the head. That makes this run an 8 month old, 16 year old, 4 year old and the 17 year old in 11 days.
And I've only worked 4 out of those 11 days and run a grand total of 12 or 13 calls.

They're right next to the glucometers that I can pick up OTC and use at home without a second thought....until I put on my uniform and show up to work then all that is too advanced for little ole me to be trusted with according to the county...
We just finally fixed that in Indiana. I feel you

Pulse Ox was (finally) added to the BLS scope a couple years ago, though we don't carry them. I don't know any BLS company's carrying them, only agency I know of is Compton Fire has them in their jump bags on the BLS engines, look like the same ones from CVS too lol.

I just got sick, had to work a 24, was slightly worried I might accidentally OD on acetaminophen due to the amount of DayQuil and Sudafed that was otherwise keeping me moving....now I'm past the worst of it, just in time for my 4 day, so instead of meds I'm pretending I'm a teen and sleeping all day lol. So far the cat seems to approve of my plan haha.....

The last two times I gave Naloxone they got 0.2 slow and woke right up. There went my plan for a quiet transport. One was completely apneic and the other was awfully close.

Lol no, but having a day off to just sleep and nap all day as needed is one of my favorite medicines 
Next one gets 0.1 huh?
