We have various studies which show: ALS outcomes worse than BLS for severe trauma, trauma, stroke, respiratory distress. ALS averages double the on scene to hospital time. 27 minutes ALS, 13 minutes BLS. Which means that ALS, on average, spent longer stabilizing for transport than the time...

Our class used some generic online scheduling software and it turned out to be a nightmare because of the inflexibility of fields and the need to mix student edited and instructor edited content in the same field and incorrect undoing of entries, accidental duplication and deletion of entries...

The wreck was apparently a 1-2 miles away and an hour after the ceremony. It seems to be a bit of an exaggeration to say she worked the call, but you don't have to ride an ambulance to the scene, be dispatched, or go across town to work a call. I don't see evidence that she did much that she...

I was overly brief as I was posting from a cell phone. I didn't see the studies, just a presentation by those who perform the procedures, and I am not sure about the 36 hour number being specifically associated with the mechanical interventions. I came out of the presentation with the idea...

They were percentage points, not percentages. If we compare 3% mortality to 7% mortality (or survival), that is 4 percentage points difference but a 133% increase or 57% decrease. 4 percentage points difference in absolute risk looks like a small difference but can actually be a large...

OP has to take the NREMT Assessment exam, rather than the NREMT certification exam which OP has already passed and been NREMT certified. As far as I can tell, this is probably the same as the NREMT cognitive exam. However, it appears one of our users has suggested on another forum, that...

@18G: Memorize your 4 formulas and you will be able to solve 4 problems. The dimensional analysis approach solves thousands. For example, someone proficient in dimensional analysis can solve your dosage calculations without any formulas, training, etc. specific to dosage calculations. In...

I don't live in FL and have looked more at the BLS level but from what I have seen looking at other states, I would expect that you should not need NREMT-P to recertify in FL anytime soon. However, you should consider getting your NREMT-P now, while your course material is still fresh, if...

If you were taught to put a 4x4 gauze pad on it, you are missing a crucial detail such as that you use PETROLEUM (jelly) gauze or to leave the (rare) plastic or foil wrapper on the gauze pad. Of course, you can't really tape to petroleum gauze so people use just the aluminized plastic wrapper...

long post Was the patient a concert pianist or surgeon? What was the ischemic time prior to transport? warm or chilled? If the patient got there 30 minutes earlier, would the pt actually get treated 30 minutes earlier or would the patient get there before the surgeon was ready? Digits...
