I feel pretty good after reading some of the post here. My service is Very active in the community we serve and it shows. I get thanked alot and Feel good about that. I was just reading thru some thank you cards yesterday at work on the bulleton board. We all should lead by example, even those...

Ah crap. Ok here's the story, after the first few years I realized I never once had to mop vomit out of my rig, not once, due to some fast reflexes and good antimemetics. So I always tell my emt's don't let vomit hit the floor, anticipate what's going to happen and be ready with an emesis bag...

I repeated it nearly word for word as printed, after I read the chapter. Don't know, wasn't covered in that depth. I'll finish my rational later today, fire meeting to attend.

Seriously, relax. I said SO FAR. Too much info at once gives too much to argue about.

OK I accept. Lets start at the top. Perfusion is the supply of oxygen to, and removal of waste from the cells and tissues of the body. Hypoperfusion(shock) is the lack of the bodys ability to circulate the blood carrying the Oxygen to, and waste from the tissues & Cells. An EMT's interventions...

If a two year old thread gets closed, then up-to-date info can't be discussed without starting another thread. Things change all the time and somtimes they return to an old practice. And most here would agree a New Thread creates frustration when it covers throughly discussed material.

Here's my appointment date....... <13/<32/>2010

Just another personal stab toward EMT-B's(not to worry, he prides himself) Quite possibly true, but in regards to NREMT and state practicals, if you forget the o2 at the basic level, you failed. Agreed For sure, and above all in the real world.

+1 for doing whatever it took to get the job done by creativity. -2 for making a poor stab at a 20yr vet. paramedic.

Well I have no doubt I can use the material in the last post, more than a video from you-tube. Although it is a damn funny Movie. Thanks for the discussion and debate. But it's really sad we couldn't answer the first Post request as to why we still apply o2 to a non-hypoxic patient. Or atleast...

Try this on a non-emergent leave of the station.......Get another garage door remote from another truck when you partner drives and hold it in your pocket. Put the door down as he is trying to put it up! then make him get out to check the door and go up with it. Act confused and play it up...

Personally I would have asked the people who witnessed it also. Did he land on his head? Did he get stepped on(bruising might not be present yet), previous injurys, and such. Maybe you did, I dunno. I think that relating to this fella would go along way to getting him to accept transport. "Don't...

Would you say that if the blood loss was slow? But even still a garden hose will buy SOME time, wouldn't you agree? I mean we can't fix internal injurys in the feild so anything to me Is better than nothing.

After some review and discussion with my mentors, I re-affirm the o2 for help in the prevention of Shock. Here's my rational. If the patient has injurys that are not found (such as internal bleeding), or other issues that may seem minor upon arrival (possibly not fully developed) O2 will help...

I can see both sides to this coin. Yes, for comfort, no for akwardness durin transport. But, if there was loss of distal pulse and traction recovered it, then I would want to maintain traction by some means. I did hear once of a PEDS hare trac. being used to immobilize an arm. No other info as...

The content of this post couldn't be better stated. It would be a pleasure to work with WolfmanHarris.

What he said, here in Kansas.

I will look at TBI and CVA, and thanks. But in the END it doesn't change what's in black and white on the paper. And I really don't want to answer for why I deviated from that.

That was aimed toward Reaper. Sorry I was using a shotgun approach.

What part about I DON'T Know, don't you understand? As an experienced professional(I use that loosely) you can argue it to death, but till YOU change the material they teach and print, AND fail you on during your state practicals if you forget, please stop trying. And no 02 is not...
