I a very rural,, mountainess area not far from me, a medic was on the scene of a wreck which are almost always bad in that area, and he cut the clothes of of the patient to do his assessment. The patient signed a refusal to be transported and they actually had to tape his clothes back together...

The biggest concern for me with the atropine would be the fact that the heart rate may go up in rate far more than you anticipated and pacing give you the control of the rate.

I agree with you 100% and that is why I want more knowledge.That us why I'm studying axis deviation, advanced EKG stuff, capnograhy,etc. that wasn't really taught, or briefly touched upon, in the EMT-I/99 classroom. I checked out the site you gave me and it sounds like something that is worth...

No gap whatsoever here. I can administer ALL of the same drugs, perform ALL of the same procedures, and get paid exactly the same. No offense to you either but I have met some really incompetent paramedics that I know I currently know more than they do and they made it through a classroom...

How important is it to be able to determine left or right axis deviation in EMS? Why?

The wave forms for the asthma would appear as a shark fin on the capnography because of the air trapping and the expiratory upstroke would be slanted and not almost straight up. In the COPD patient they would be moving air which would not give you the slanted upstroke but a upstroke that is more...

Do you use capnography as part of your protocol? This would help determine if it is a trapping issue due to Asthma, or a COPD issue.

$ 34,000 in NYC, how does one eat?

I actually bought the 3rd edition, with workbook, on Ebay for $20.00. I did notice that they use a lot of the same material that I studied in their EMT-I/99 book.

You are referring to I-85s aren't you. As a I-99 I have Morphine and Fentanyl in my box as standing order drugs. Is this not the case most places?

Before we get started I will state that I know it is preferential to take a class in person. With that said, I am looking for an online EMT-I/99 to EMT-P bridge that I can do online and make a few visits to wherever the campus is. I am part-time career NREMT-I/99 (36 hours a week) and I...

I got the word that I am officially a NREMT-I/99!!! A lot of work but well worth it..:P

To be quite honest I don't know what's out there but I have the McGraw Hill paramedic book and it doesn't have much more than my I/99 textbook has.

I am looking for Paramedic textbooks. I would want them to be fairly current without outdated procedures.

I recently completed the EMT-I/99 course. I want to re-read my textbook but I am thinking that if I am going to do this that I should go ahead and read a Paramedic book to get even more information. In your experience, what would be the best Paramedic book to purchase?

Dextrose is a "hypertonic" solution that can cause an increase in the pressure in the cranium by causing more fluid to accumulate in the space occupied by the brain. This is a elementary explanation but I would suggest you google the words isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic solutions. That will...
