Flow Restricted Oxygen Powered Ventilation Device Does/has anyone ever used a FROPVD? I tried one on a Laerdal SimMan recently (while monitoring lung capacity on the sim's controller). Amazingly easy to use, seemingly effective; also seems easy to cause barotrauma, but none the less, wasn't...

Yes i know it's 10x less but... Has anyone felt aftershocks or are these continuing quakes? Damage from them? Just in checking the weather (WunderGround), it shows earthquakes, and it seems that just this morning there was a 4.5m quake Source And this wasn't the only one. I haven't felt...

What happened to scene safety? That was my original thought...if you hear a CO alarm, as purely EMS (w/o SCBA, etc), YOU'RE TOO CLOSE! You're no good to the patient, your partner, etc, if you succumb to CO poising too. I'd have the FD get the pt out. I'd try to make verbal communication...

my $0.02 Was felt well here in Baltimore...FD calls were non-stop for gas leaks and 'potential structural damage" (which was slim to none). ALl the EMS calls were not related, in my area at least, but the pt's did enjoy talking about it! "Sir, do you have any allergies? "Earthquakes!"...

It was chaos! ^Lol but my favorite photo comes from CNN's website:

Here's a thread a few months back that is perhaps similar

Morphine (except for P.O. Tylenol lol) is the only analgesic in the Maryland pharmacopeia.

No disagreement here! Compared to everyone else's protocols, it seems maryland uses half if not 1-2x less the dose, further more, to make things more wacky, the Midaz. dose for seizures is 0.1mg/kg

The PP allows for either Etomidate OR Midaz. for Inducation, Sux for paralysis, morphine (0.1mg/kg, which is new for 2011) and vecuronium for maintenance of paralysis.

Pilot Program in MD this is the dose for Versed for the pilot RSI program in Maryland, used primarily by flight medics (troopers), but a few ground agencies have the capabilities.

Wow, you're lucky to be telling us! No kidding! Did they just want your possessions? Take any stuff from the ambo, i.e. narcs?

"Current Activity: Private Messaging" - I'm waiting ;-)

i divert to PM as this thread is about ped's collars.

So it has been a while It was about ten years ago, check out his little bio at the bottom of the page. edit: you know what, i maybe confusing myself w/ scalea

I beg to differ... Dr. Alcorta - state medical director & practicing physician at STC...Are you sure there is no connection? :rolleyes:

thank god <20, i lost track... Is this like golf were the lowest score is better? And if someone carries #59 in their POV, please stop by my home. Thanks, mikie :rofl:

Bon Secours, anyone? ;-) Yes! I hate this! "Our protocols says..." -but there is some truth to the 'closest medical facility crap' when patients really want to go to their covered hospital, which typically isn't more than a few more miles down the road (cause we ain't short hospitals...

I haven't personally done this... The plethora tactic around here seems to be telling patients which hospitals are "busy" thus we'll have to take you to XXX hospital (which has a poor reputation)...REFUSAL signed!
