Is an AHA CPR instructor required to also carry a CPR card or does the instructor card count as CPR certification?

Thanks!!

I am taking a test prep online for the NREMT-I 99 exam. There is a question about max. dosage of morphine for pain before contacting med control, to which I answered 10 mg. but the answer according to the website is actually 20 mg. I have not read this amount anywhere. Am I wrong or is the...

What would be the relevance of knowing where the occlusion is located, other that right-sided? I know it's good information and I want to be as intelligent as I can be on the subject, but how does location effect treatment in the field?

I agree. Just to let you know, I called one of the carriers I represent, a HUGE carrier, and verified what I stated on the forum about coverage. I am correct, they WOULD NOT deny a claim if I am in my personal vehicle responding to a call with my strobe on. Like any other situation I must obey...

CIC - Certified Insurance Counselor CPCU- Chartered Property and Casualty Underwriter CLU- Chartered Life Underwriter CRIS- Construction Risk Insurance Specialist Each means that the agent has spent hours upon hours getting better at what they do.

Just trying to make the point that if the agent has these designations, then he is well versed in insurance law, similar to a paramedic that continues learning and obtaining knowledge after they are licensed and adds ACLS, CCEMT-P, behind there name. If an agent hasn't spent time in these...

I agree. In the little town where I volunteer they help. I have used mine probably 2 times this year. On Sunday of this week I was sitting at our kitchen table and our tones dropped for a 5th call (5 within 3 minutes), HELP NEEDED. I live about 2.5 miles from the station so I turned on my strobe...

amen!!!!!

Be sure to ask him if he has him if has CIC,CPCU,CLU, CRIS designations. If he does that means that he put his time in has as much training in the insurance business as the best Paramedic on this forum, who has the most training in his/her field, has. That means he has done his time in the...

I would say they would pay the claim definitely. We pay claims for accidents caused by speeding, DUI's,etc. all of the time. We are more concerned if the business is used for business or pleasure. As an example, I use my car for my business but I pay for a business class on my insurance. If I am...

Just saying it's not even a question that is asked.. However, we do ask if you drive to work... LOL!! How else would I get there??? I have a perfectly good car, so I'm not going to walk..

I know this is a very old post but this first paragraph is not factual at all. I am a P&C insurance agent and do EMS 24 hours a week. If this is true you would have to call when you put a new stereo in your car, a DVD playing system etc. This has absolutley nothing to do with your cars safety...

I have used the McGrath and the GildeScope on mannequins and I much prefer the McGrath. I like having the screen ON the larygoscope and less equipment to fool with.

Did V1 - V3 also have a large R wave? Sounds your man was having a major multi-vessel disease process. Definitely Inf, Lat, and possibly posterior as well. One sick dude. I have attached the strip, I think!!

Sinus Bradycardia at 40 BPM

When we arrived on scene the patient was walking to our unit. He was not having difficulty ambulating but he was definitely pale and diaphoretic. Complaining of substernal chest pain radiating into his left shoulder and arm. We only had about a 4-5 minute transport time to the hospital. First...

It's funny I asked this question and 2 hours later I am on a call that pertains to it, running as an EMT-I preceptor. Call for 55 y.o male with chest pains: BP: 108 palpated Rate: 40 bpm pale, diaphoretic NO HISTORY ECG: II- 4 mm ST elevation III- 4 mm ST elevation aVF- 4 mm ST...

I am an EMT-I student. I am trying to study more about reciprocal ECG changes and I have looked at three textbooks and there is very little information in them about the subject, or just maybe I am freaking out over something that is really not that big of a deal. I ask other medics and to be...

EMT-Bs in our area start at 12.95 if working for an actual EMS agency.
