My Baby Looks Too Hot Middle, Bottom, Legs, Top, Head You really think they would be able to decide on one way for something like this. Wait, what am I saying; nevermind.

The whole idea of protocols is that they are like standing orders for treatments for certain situations. When medical control tells you to do something not in your protocols, its really the same thing as them writing you a protocol to use in this one situation. As far as the ASA; if med...

Most supplies can be used for adults and pedi. I do have basic airways that are small enough for pedi and a pedi C collar.

Are you looking for a handheld, mobile (in your car) or fixed (in your house) scanner?

As a first responder, and even if you were an EMT, quite often you won't know what is wrong with a person. If somebody faints in front of you; call 911. Do your survey, check consciousness, vitals, manage ABCs, treat for shock.

Definitely sounds like sodium being sweated out. I went backpacking in New Mexico for 2 weeks a few years back, and I ended up with white salt deposits on my clothing from the sweat. My diet at the time was high in salt (as is recommended in that environment) so I'm sure I had an excess.

eww, I hope you are making that up and its not real. Somebody tricked me into seeing some of 2 girls, 1 drinking vessle and I wasn't happy about it.

On a different forum, a father posted a message about his 19 y/o son borrowing the digital camera and GPS for the weekend, and forgetting to erase the pictures and routes. The father found out where he went and that some of his son's friends were very flexible and very open with themselves.

We have em for my volley dept. Nice to just throw on when the tones go off and you either aren't dressed or you are working on your truck and have grease all over your clothes. The ER nurses at the hospital can't decide if we look like mechanics or flight medics.

The days of listening to cell phones with scanners are gone in the US. Cell service is now completely digital and encrypted so that it cannot be monitored by scanners.

Actually I checeked and there are a couple others with saphire, like the 8xxx series. I believe that Luminox just started making watches with saphilre in the last year or two. Thats what I was thinking when I said it was the first one. Either way, my 3100 is scratched and I don't like it, so...

I used to like digitals, but have switched to analog in the last few years. I have a Luminox 3100 that I wear every day, and I am thinking about getting a Luminiox 3204, which is a lot dressier in my opinion and would be good for wearing to (more) formal events. This is also the first watch...

I looked at both at a fabric store and found the bleached to be the same price, it also didn't have black dots all over it like the unbleached. Not that they would have been a problem, but made the fabric look like it was dirty. I'm lucky because my mother used to do quilting and has large...

Any particular reason you can't use bleached? highvelocity84: The triangular bandages that you can get in medical supply stores are pretty junky. They will only hold up to a single use in most cases. For practice, get a few yards of muslin and cut it into triangles. It will hold up...

I'm a volunteer in my town, and along with the rest of the dept, I'm always "on duty", unless of course I've just had a couple beers. Thats really the only time I wouldn't respond to a call. I keep a basic BLS type jump kit in the truck, as we commonly go right to the scene and depending on...

Isn't that supposed to be Hyperbaric chamber? A Bariatric chamber would just be a really big chamber to accomidate those of generous girth.

Ok, that sounds reasonable. I teach all those classes for the ARC, but never knew the regulations for having the equipment. Thats really the reason I heard about this, the employer is doing the training but not certifying people. My guess is that the "medical person" at the company is that...

I have a friend who works for a fairly small subsidiary of a very large company. He says that his employer has one person working for them that used to be an EMT who has a jump kit and maybe O2 in his desk, and now the employer wants my friend to also be prepared with a jump kit and O2 for...
