    EMS websites

    Protocols need to be in a secure area away from lawyers eyes and also must be a non modifiable PDF. We issued each employee a printed copy of protocols and advised them the online copy is for reference and may not be the most up to date. Michael "Medic One" Paramedic/FF EMS-Instructor Pace...

    EMS websites

    Everything looks like it is covered but don't make it to busy or hard to navigate. As far as fleet pictures I'd drop that and just use one or two pics on the main page etc with a picture of some units and some staff in uniform. Should also add a paperwork page for hospitals if your a transfer...

    Volunteers

    I work as a part time fill in (paid) for the nationally recognized Heritage Village Ambulance. The volunteer Amb has a few paid staff like me but it is the only Volunteer EMS agency in the country run and staffed by 55 and older volunteers. JEMS magazine has done several articles on them.

    Kit expirations, real knowledge only please.

    This is a growing problem in EMS having items expire but there are reasons. Certain items deteriorate over time such as burn sheets, water, and even intubation tubes. The reason is the plastics degrade and get sticky, items become more prone to non-sterility, and for some items I just think it...

    EMS Call Statistics by Year

    Nationwide data will be tough to get because there is a national run database but only if each service reports it to their state office then the state office reports it to the National data base. A good place to start is the JEMS (Journal of EMS Magazine) National run survey and Fire House...

Next we will be seeing tv commercials with medics saying: Squad 51...

    Vic and Vern

    Ok only the dinosaurs of EMS will remember these guys. They are two hilarious comedians that came up with a skit about EMS and went to all the trade shows. They also pretty much are the guys that wrote the ACLS songs to remember what to do on a code. Haven't seen or heard if them for at...

    Folding Backboard?

    We have folding backboards in our fly cars. They are just as good as a regular backboard but can have issues deconning the hinge area from a bloody call. We rarely use them but at times we arrive before the transport unit and it is nice to have them on a board and just load in the car and go

    Best Pranks

    We have one guy at work that surfs Facebook and the web most of his shift. We found an old keyboard and put Chia Pet seeds in the keyboard and waited the week or so for it to grow (needs misting of water daily with a plastic wrap cover). It was great we replaced the matching keyboard and left...

    LP12/LP15 Uploads

    Does your service upload 12 leads to the ER. We have for about 2 years and of the few hundred I have sent in only once was the cath lab opened. Is it really worth uploading all calls (besides NRS).

    Strange Procedures

    Several things you can do is hold arm over face no person would smack themselves in the face when you let their arm go. You can also use the MADD cap with a little saline and squirt in the nose.
