Well that seriously sucks. Give me a few more months and I will be in EMT-A school and get back to you on that one.

May I Have Your Attention Please! I would like to take the time to wish Sasha a very happy 21st birthday! She officially turned 21 as of 12:02am! Happy Birthday Sasha!!

I like the one: EMT: Trained To Save Your A$$, Not Kiss It And the Trauma Junkie one.. but don't own either of them :( lol

Or sell that $#!+ on ebay!

I have co attended some OD calls with a medic who did administer Narcan. Both times it was 2.0mg, and each case they only did it once. But thanks for cleaing up what the doses were Kev, wasn't to sure what the max was. Hmm.. wonder what would happen if you shot someone up with ~6mg iv first...

Okay.. I don't like my old post. So I will try again. Like said before.. there are many reasons someone is going to have a high/low pulse and a high/low resp. rate. As far as the extremely cold and damp skin.. well not much can cause extremely cold skin. Frostbite is one for instance. As...

2 or .2? I say 2.. but everyone else is saying .2. Well good thing I don't have the protocol :p

There are way to many reasons a persons pulse might be high/low; high/low resp. rate. Extremely cold and damp skin? Cold water? Basically as a First Responder you have to think basic, as we are the basics of basic. Think: cardiac, diabetic, and medication. As a First Responder basically...

I also didn't vote. Didn't vote A or B because I don't have Narcan protocols.

I usually C-Spine patients more times than not. But there are those times where, based on their MOI, they fall under the "C-Spine Protocol" so after doing our thang, I will put them thru the "C-Spine Test" and clear them. An example of that is, this one lady became unconscious while playin a...

Hey, thats pretty interesting. Wonder if they have anything like that out there for Canada.... :unsure:

Ah, that makes sense. Man, I dunno why these Ironman people do it.. after working in the med tent for a few years, I don't think I'd ever do Ironman. Not that I was going to previous to that either. Side story: had this one couple come into the med tent almost dead. Got married Friday, had...

Same here. I mostly see it in the Ironman Medical Tent, after the athlete has stopped exerting him/herself. Like reaper said, it leaves a white powder all over the person. Who knows what causes this? I'd like to know, keep forgetting to google it lol.

Oh good luck! Let us know how it goes :D

I can clear C-Spine in the field. Of course certain criteria must be met to even consider clearing C-Spine. Then, if the attendant feels that C-Spine can be cleared there is a process that you have to go thru in order to clear C-Spine.
