So this got me thinking. While Neo will shrink the blood vessels down don't you also get transient hypertension which could cause any formed clots to break away and risk a continued epistaxis?

In a dream world that would be great. But reality is provider level does not equal same level of training, understanding or even competence at that provider level. Which is absolutely shameful.

Yeah they have been doing Vividtrac study for quite sometime

Keep checking the website for sure, it's a great crew and we have lots of very bright and experienced people.

Try it out on different areas and check it out. It was a bit surprising when we did it. And it made perfect sense why we don't need to discern small points in areas such as the thighs

Yeah with our eyes closed

Lol we actually studied this in physiology. Simply take 2 sharp objects and poke yourself simultaneously. Then spread them apart and repeat until you can discern 2 separate pokes. Now do the same in another part like your fingertip and see how closely they can be for you to feel the 2...

I would imagine that has to due with the number of nerve ending per sq in in the area bring stuck. Because I am positive if you stick your finger tip with a 24ga vs 14ga you WILL know the difference

You would think that they would have AEDs for sure. Pulse Oximetry for what? If the patient is short of breath it is treated with oxygen at the BLS level and you don't need a oximetry for that. If the patient is not showing any signs of dyspnea then why would they administer medication? Sure...

Even if you think it is BS, always remember Turkeys Die also. Just because someone has a drug habit does not mean they may not have anything else wrong. ALS without question

Yeah and if memory serves the first crew to get paged to this never responded because they were to scared to get anywhere near it......... Regardless of duty to act, each responder in a matter of seconds after hearing a page like this go out is going to have a million things go through their...

The thought of sending any healthcare provider into a warm zone with a suspected terrorist attack is ridiculous. Years of conflict in war torn countries have shown over and over the first attack is to lure people in including health providers only to hit with a second to take out the first...

Beat experience in emergency medicine you will ever have

I tip my hat to you Sir!

How are you at fault if they illegally crossed a double yellow line into your lane of traffic

Yeah these are all emergent transfers through the ER unfortunately. But yes I agree the company should have it's own vents just for this reason

Only issue for me is the 2hour portable battery on the LTV1200 not living up to its 2 hour claim. Have always been able to plug it in thankfully anyways during the transport itself. Don't typically rely on the battery for brief periods but on occasion while waiting on beds sometimes it will...

Headless baby / preterm field delivery and ill leave it at that
