    Hypovolemic Shock Question for the EMS vets...

    Well, this question was posed my my professor. So, you pointed something out thats interesting. If there is less blood then can we blouse a typical protocol amour for say trams?(500cc). Surely the fact that there is less blood would contribute to a slightly different mechanism of compensation...

    Advanced EMT for educational purposes?

    That's pretty interesting. I was under the impression that most states we're phasing out inttermidiate to more closely resemble the restructuring Bioengineering done by nremt. This is the case in Alabama where I practice. As a matter of fact, you must obtain advanced before progressing to...

    the 100% directionless thread

    Very true and rest easy as I am. I have the board open in another window so I can follow along. And Im not complaining about the site at all. Nor am I complaining about the posters. I dont know or presume to know these people. All I know of these people are the comments they have made. I was was...

    the 100% directionless thread

    Only two people made comments. Old or not, if people are so aware of unintended or implied emotion being inadvertantly attached to a comment, it would seem that individuals would not resort to name calling. Not resort, rather reply immediately without clarifying or at the very least acting in a...

    Advanced EMT

    That rational is similar to that of the program which I am attending. The university offers parmedic cert free standing and you must progress through AEMT and practice as an AEMT while finishing the paramedic cert. However, the university has developed an EMS B.S. program thats been tied into...

    Advanced EMT

    If you have basic, A&P, and Med terminology it can be done in one semester. Thats what I did. It was actually pretty tough. Not so much the material, although challenging at times, but this was the second semester it was available and the course has not exactly been hammered into a science. As...

    Advanced EMT

    Not sure about other states protocols, but I am in an AEMT program. I actually test for registry tomorrow. Anyway, as an AEMT in Alabama there is quite a bit more that I can do and a basic cannot. Off the top of my head...use of supraglotic non-visual airways, IV, IO (pretty sure not in EMT-I's...

    Medically trained police officers to patrol Tube network

    Really good article in the May 2012 issue of JEMS. It actually goes into a good bit of detail for the logic behind providing the training, which to me seems like a no brainer, but their reasoning was quite different from what I reasoned. It also mentions the skills that they would be trained to...
