I think this is the limit of what I can post from here. Let me know if you are looking for videos on a particular subject, I likely have some, stored away in one of my presentations...

for trauma:

There are quick calls if you know the right digits... PM me if you need help and I'll hook you up.

For Airway: Video: (Distressed breathing), talking about seesaw breathing, skin color, retractions, airway positioning, etc. Video: (Hockey player has throat cut by other player's skate. Bloody, but good introduction to talking about threats to airway, suction, etc.) Simulation...

Paramedic school clinicals are about developing confidence with the skills and assessments, and is your opportunity to see sick patients, pick the RN/MDs brains. Some argue the first half of your shifts should be with a nurse to get the lay of department, skills and patients.... Once you grow...

In order to enter MA as a new provider, you must have NREMT, the state no longer offers certification by reciprocity. In other words Massachusetts only grants new certification based on national registry. Existing MA providers are NOT required to obtain NR...

You're thinking of EMTALA, which says hospitals cannot turn away patients presenting to the hospital, have to ensure they're taken care of, which they can do by calling 911 or sending a hospital resource team. I've done these calls a dozen times. Handle it like a scene call and transport to the...

If your program is CoAEMSP/CAAHEP accredited they are required to have a documentation system that meets certain criteria. In order to obtain NREMT certification, your program needs CoAEMSP... In short, be prepared to document all of your hours (with preceptor signature), all patient...

I was asking about the ALS/Paramedic REMAC exam, I don't know if EMTs need it.

In general ?CVA patients are on a cardiac monitor for at least 24 hours post symptoms for the possibility an arrhythmia caused the clot and that the rhythm is intermittent.

Not to mention Medicare or insurance fraud... If revealed it wout require the service to return all reimbursement from calls you are involved in... Call the state, you shouldn't have even been third riding.

This is indeed interesting.... Did it bring the "baseline" of waveform co2 on the patient up? What type of device were you using to measure co2 on this patient?

Paid for me as well...

Yup, happening to me as well.

I can see it now. Your exam is going to have fourteen questions on airway, one about pediatric airway positioning, it will have two questions about ACS, seven related to CHF, nine on trauma, six regarding incident command structure and hazmat. There will be two OB questions one on childbirth...

I agree with your vision for fewer ALS providers to maintain skills, but perhaps see the world differently. The recent EMS managers I've spoken with have quoted that 70-80% of their emergency volume is BLS-- that is, mechanical falls, psych /EDPs and the like. EMD protocols have gotten sensitive...
