3 batteries, a charger, a/c cable, and printer (optional)

$55k, unless you want spmet, temp monitoring, and invasive line monitoring.

With the x, my crews were completely sold until they started using them, then they wanted to burn me at the stake “no knob = bad” lol

The resqpod actually marketed that, through physics, they lowered intrathoracic pressure leading to increased preload and subsequent increased cardiac output. Makes perfect sense, but there remains no outcome data supporting that these devices increased cardiac survival.. Before someone...

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not against CPR feedback, but I’ve been in this game awhile and seen many things come and go that had evidence they were better but ultimately no outcome studies proving their efficacy, especially in cardiac arrest care. We used to shock asystole every time “just in case...

Is there any data to show that cpr feedback is improving outcomes? Genuine question, I don’t know..

I personally never found zolls see through CPR to be as useful as advertised

Really? I thought that other than lack of cpr feedback, it took everything good from the Zoll and the 15 and made a better unit..

Finally got to play with the final product today, I must say I’m impressed! Pricey, but will probably be our upgrade from our old 15s..

In 27 years of EMS and 2 as an RN, I’ve seen plenty of ROSC, and had a handful of people discharged with normal neuron function. I’ve only ever seen one person wake up normal immediately after resuscitation (it was an ems run and he started in v-fib, was pretty cool).

I am not a fan of this in the slightest.. 1. 12-lead interpretation from the monitor is inconsistent at best and frequently inaccurate 2. 12-lead is a small piece of the puzzle for cardiac issues.. NSTEMIs are more frequent than you think 3. We really shouldn't be turfing people we think may be...

I 100% agree with this comparison, it is exactly the same skillset. Side note, anyone else feel that the tip on your 20ga is significantly harder to find at first compared to the 18? We had a sick baby one day that no one could get a line on, I tried doing ultrasound with a 24ga, never did...

I know it’s a thing and I know plenty of people experience it, no shame in that whatsoever, but it’s not universal and not something everyone go through.. I’m not saying I’m a god or bragging, I am just fairly good at retaining psychomotor skills..

People discuss skill degradation as a universal and it just isn’t. For some people, shooting a gun requires constant training, whereas I haven’t fired a round in nearly a year and can pick up my gun and nail my target (I’ve gone this long between practice before). Same with intubation, I just...

We had 2 codes and a dissecting aortic aneurysm, doc unfortunately didn’t have time and ICU will not come down to do stuff in the ED..

30 minutes?! I meant 3-4 minutes including finding the site, I have my process down pat. I always start pretty much dead center of the anterior forearm, nearly everyone has a juicy one there about 1-1.5cm deep that I can toss in an 18-long without any issue. When that one isn't there, I'll...

My state recently approved this for the paramedic scope of practice. I'm quite good as an ED nurse at ultrasound IV and my new dept has a long transport time. I'm mildly interested in trialing some devices but wanted to get thoughts/opinions from the group on good brands or overall experience...

Out hospital cardiac arrest survival rate to discharge with normal neuro function is somewhere in the 6-7% range. As cold as it is to say, that poor kid had a 93% chance of not surviving this event. Suing the minimally trained flight crew for the poor outcome just sucks. I get it, I can't...

Can’t speak for registry, but my state doesn’t audit until after your new card is issued, so it really doesn’t matter when you submit it..

It's not that transmitting doesn't work, it's that you have to hit 4 keys on the x instead of 1 on the physio.
