Wow! Just wow! I am always surprised at the number of people who actually participate in it. Workplace Ethics. Thats all.

I have used the KED as well for kids. The long leg splint contraption works out nice because they could put the entire thing through X-Ray/CT, keeping the pt immobile until after procedures. Pedi Boards..... long spine boards, only shorter length.... When I was with the county provider they...

We all know that youngin's can present a special challenge in just about everything we try to do with them. For the ones that are injured requiring spinal immobilzation, and are not lucky enough to already be in a car seat, what do you use? Pediatric spine boards seem to be in short supply...

Can you explain this? Did you loose the IV and a small amount of the D50 infiltrated? Was administration of the D50 continued even after the IV site was no longer patent, at the knowledge of the person administering? Wasn't the line checked throughout administration to ensure there was no...

In school we were drilled Amiodarone...Amiodarone....Amiodarone! If we tried to use Lidocaine, the instructor would always say "Thats one choice, but whats a better choice?" It became second nature to give the Amiodarone over Lidocaine. Every now and then we would have an instructor that...

Exactly!! As an EMT, I watched my partner at the time have her entire "groove" thrown off when I would forget to put the stylette in place. The last code I had last month, as I went to intubate I realized I had forgot the damn stylette again, but was still able to effectively and on the first...

I knew there was something else!! He also wouldn't allow a stylette. Again with the long explanations as to why you don't actually need a stylette..... That was probably the best thing for me. Even as an EMT setting my partner up for an intubation....and now when I am getting my own stuff...

During my OR clinicals, a few of us were assigned to the anesthesiologist we called the "10minute" Dr. On our first rotation with him, he would spend about 30 minutes with us educating us about calming down, taking our time, and realizing we actually have about 10 minutes to get the patient...
