So ventilation rate does not change during preoxygenation? Because from what I understand is that you increase the bagging rate slightly during preoxygenation. If you are just doing normal bagging and not going to use an advance airway, it stays the normal rate.

I don't see an edit button anymore but I also pulled out my protocols for my fire department and the medical director uses hyper-oxygenate instead of pre-oxygenate for our oral tracheal intubation protocol.

I haven't heard the nasal cannula. Would it be practical in pre-hospital administration though? I know we like to get the ET tube in before we get to the ambulance so we'd have to hope the engine crew grabbed their airway bag or the volunteers came with their airway bag from their suv. On the...

How do you define preoxygenation? I have been told different things from lab assistants at different schools and I am going to email my former and current instructors. In my first school in my home state, we were told this for the ET preoxygenation (Fall 2010): - It is the same as...

For me, I wear the underwear you can buy at Wal-mart. Like the usual Hanes or Fruit of the Looms hipsters or bikinis simply because they cover enough. When I was in an LPN program, I heard enough horror stories of young nursing students accidentally flashing thongs and being forced to go and...

We were told in theory that you could draw from the ampule holding it upside down. I haven't tried it so not sure if that is true or not.

EMT-Basic in January 2011 and it cut off at 71. I passed but my instructor and I were both iffy if I actually passed due to it being so close to 70. (I am quick to doubt my test scores). It took me about an 1 hour including check in.

What I did for a little while was use Youtube to look up P90x videos to work out to and I did Google searches for the diet/fitness plans. It seemed to work, but it probably would have worked even better if I had stuck with the diet plan. I am definitely stronger.

Where I live, it's 3 years for certified lab assistant (some schools do not have certified lab assistants) and 5 years before you can take a course to teach. CPR is usually done with training programs through AHA or Red Cross from what I could tell when I thought about getting it. I think...
