I have heard of medics using a c-spine collar to secure he intubation tube. I am talking about medical cases with no trauma, he collar is only being used to secure the tube. does anyone actually do this? does anyone have any reference material for this?
I’m looking for some kind of list of stuff you’d expect to see at a hard rock concert. What would be the S/S to diagnose, and what would be your treatments?
Albuterol is supposed to be administered so that the treatment lasts 5-15 minutes. What exactly is the o2 flow rate that will fit that criteria, and does that rate change when you add an ipratropium? (doubling the amount of fluid in the treatment)
Horror stories, well every organization has some... some unfortunately true, others not so much.... Hatzalah in NYC has one central dispatch but each neighborhood runs its own volunteers and buses. I believe there are over 50 buses thought the city. Hatzalah here is politically well connected...
Like mycrofft said, when it comes to potential danger to life. Some communities do hire non Jews to do some of the driving, but in most, the volunteers respond like any other day.
A real simple inquiry into a term very often used, but there seems not to be a very good understanding of what exactly (rate-wise) it means...

so good to know that I'm not spreading viruses (or am I....). leoemt, apology accepted.
I've never seen that before, it looked like there was a fire burning every time the guy hit the gas (which technically there was)... I was wondering if anyone know if this was actually dangerous.
not that drastic, but this does look a bit much.... at some points I'm literally driving through a cloud of smoke

Like what do you do if the injury is not quite severe enough to go to the doctor or ER, but it does need some attention…
How do you make those decisions, est.
We’ve all had calls that were completely BS, but what are you supposed to do in those situations?
Anyway, looking for a good book.
I have quite a basic question, that I have surprisingly not found in the literature. in order to intubate one must first hyperventilate the pt. now in an arrest hyperventilating comes at the price of compressions, and according to the latest research compressions are more important then ventilation.
