Any admins out there willing or able to help me regain access to my old account? Have been inactive since 2018, but would like to lurk and contribute again. lol - Flight-LP Oh, and hello again old friends!

And that was the first drug I yanked from the formulary when I arrived. Absolutely pointless.

It appears you've already answered your own question.............

Interestingly enough, the acquisition was through the California based LLC company, not the parent company. They are now owned by the same folks, but are going to remain (for now) separate brands and companies. So far it has worked smoothly..........

Not quite that simple................... Primaxin isn't used for sepsis (organism susceptibility) or meningitis (doesn't cross the BBB) and its cost is generally prohibitive for most EMS services. It's also not the safest option for kids and pregnant females. Works great for CF infections...

^ I I I This......... There are too many variables present in treating SIRS, sepsis, and septic shock for the pre-hospital environment to adequately and efficiently begin antibiotic treatment. Just a few off the top of my head............... Pharmacokinetic issues with metabolism and...

And there goes the bullet though the foot........... Sad that he went out of way to include that particular location, lol.

Sadly several posts in this thread completely debunk that opinion.............

I concur. Accuracy in the neonate is still inconclusive and as CANMAN mentioned, the appliance itself can cause some complications when it comes to ventilating these fragile newborns. As Neo and preemie tubes are uncuffed, it literally is less than a cm between "in place" and "somewhere else...

Again, cite a reputable source. Your numbers mean nothing unless substantiated by validated research and science. Yet in your original post you cite "BiCarb = the weight". No mention of concentration (8.4% vs. 4.2%) or multiple options. Same thing for Dextrose, which by the way is moving away...

You should never assume.......... No I do not use a BROSELOW tape, although it along with the pedi wheel, crash cards, or other reputable reference guides are significantly better than guesstimating and using false assumptions of weight based on age. Take that generalization and add it to a...

Um, no.............. Anything less than accurately dosing your medications based on the child's actual weight is completely unacceptable. This is a cool little trick to show your friends, but horrible advice to give any practitioner. Do it right the first time and every time.

This.............. I always chuckle when I hear the whining about how inefficient type II units are. IFTs can be done in them.......... 911 can be done in them........... CCT can be done in them........... IABP / ECMO can be done in them............. NICU / PICU can be done in...

REACH Air Medical has just posted 2 full time Flight Paramedic positions for their Houston hybrid based program. Medics affiliated with this program are assigned to either the High Risk Maternal or Pediatric Transport Team and also assists the Neonatal Transport Team with twin / other multiple...

Yes, Eagle Med opened last summer based at Hooks Airport, REACH has been in the Med Center since 2011.

REACH Air Medical and Eagle Med also have Houston bases. REACH is actively hiring in Houston and will likely have an additional 3-4 fulltime openings in the very near future.

Yup, typical AMR............ We didn't win so we are going to whine about it and throw out accusations. Fact of the end matter is that Falck is the largest private ambulance provider in the world with financial and operational success that far surpasses AMR and Rural Metro. They hold not only...

'04 here.............. God, it's been 10 years already?!?!

Got an issue with pregnant medics? Or pregnant oil workers?

Mostly private / 3rd government.
