CHF was the answer has probability of leading to pulmonary edema

Personally I would have did non rebreather 100% 02, depending on whether it went up then apt to have ALS do a CPAP...

You will of course have to retake the army's version some good differences ABC (EMT) - Airway Breathing Circulation ABC (68W) - Airway Bleeding Circulation It should be lots of fun! :) Good luck!

Hypoglycemia and Hyperglycemia are both diabetic emergencies, those are in there. So is DKA diabetic ketoacidosis lol

Why would it be bad with diabetic ketoacidosis? Could you explain? :) Thank you, I am a lot newer to the drugs outside of my scope.

"Am I going to die????", no sir you have a broken arm. Said every other patient ever.

Super interested, if you can find it.

I gotcha, I am a newer EMT so I am not entirely up to speed. Great community, thanks for the back story.

So imo that would render it useless, although we think it could; evidence shows against it... Is there any studies for it?

@bakertaylor28 wanted your take

Interesting, I wonder if this was just a random act.

I don't feel like I have too, but I want to know.. It's important to be the best health care provider you can be regardless of the level and I'm studying for employment tests.

I decided to make a list and to do a little studying I will add some, I'd love for people to throw lots at me. I'm not an expert on anything and certainly not a paramedic but I have been looking on expanding my knowledge before I attempt anything like paramedic school. Any suggestions or things...

Agreed, with this though taxes would increase. Not all paramedics work full-time, and we can't staff a small little city generating barely enough to keep the town hall going lol

Sure, but I don't see this being accomplished anytime soon? Not impossible, but you are going to have a ton of interior politics to deal with.

Understandably so but you can't put a paramedic or a pair in every city in the US... I don't know about you, but 90-95% of calls I have gone on typically aren't emergencies. I think you were missing my point. In terms of budget I would rather have them spread out equally versus only in the...

Thank you, I should probably get some sleep. Too much paperwork, lol...
