There was a couple redbulls in the crash but am not sure when they were drunk.

Lung sounds obtained in his bedroom we had the room quite

No I meant first went semi alert then fully unresponsive. And no numbness or tingling

Hey so had this call that was really a unusual presentation so I am going to give some important information to the case and have some information private for patient confidentiality. Teenage male CC of jittery feeling Visual cues: Tripod position Obviously involuntary shaking of legs and...

Interesting. A normal O2 and a pulmonary embolism. Don't see that very often

Very interesting! What are the breath sounds? Patient is ambulating so not too sure about DVT to PE especially with a normal O2. They went up some stairs and got chest tightness and shoulder blade pain so maybe resolving unstable angina? If he doesn't have a history of hypertension then I am...

Providers that worked this July 4th or any what would you rank the most common call? I worked it and ranked it but it could depend on area. Ones I saw were: Smoke inhalation with chronic conditions like asthma and COPD A few burns via fireworks A lot of MVAs mostly because of holiday...

That's what I was originally thinking

So maybe contact med control to ask how to manage a BP with a possible stroke.

This is a night watch case. It involves a patient suspected stroke. Patient suddenly was unable to talk. When EMS arrived the patient couldn't talk or follow commands. BP was 170/110 and they start transport then in the back on the ambo patient goes unresponsive and BP spikes. Now one thing I...

BGL is a routine vital so we do them on everyone. Like some ambulance services so rhythm strips on everyone. And yes with a patient with asthma I will listen to the chest because people with asthma aren't defined as only asthma. I ain't going to miss something like a pneumonia because I get...

Where do you guys like to hangout when you have down time? For me obviously restaurants and parks. I am night shift typically so my fav restaurants that are open during my shift is taco bell and mc Donald's. Sometimes I will hit Starbucks before I go to work but when I need coffee during...

I re read the post because I have been mixing up a few things on this one. If no wheezing then no albeterol. Not sure why I said RSI. But I would expect to be suctions the airway if the drool starts to obstruct.

I misread. I thought it said 15 at the time.

BGL is a part of our routine vitals so its our protocol to get a BGL on everyone. Also as a person with asthma and a provider I don't think the O2 sat contributes to the administration of Albuterol. You can have symptomatic bronchial constriction with a normal O2 sat and it sounds reckless not...

I really just think EMS providers just need recurrent training.

They gave it because they trusted that the patient knew there asthma but I agree I wouldn't been convinced.

Completely normal

Exactly mine and the medics thoughts.

You are dispatched to a male in there 30s with CC of asthma attack. BLS called because they gave a neb that didn't improve his difficulty breathing and the eta was long. So the sample they took was weird on the notes. Symptoms/signs said SOB, hyperventilation, and uncontrolled leg shaking. No...
