This might be more of an agency question, but how many providers do you know actually read the manual on equipment they use? like, the actual user's manual that comes with equipment? IE, the stairchair manual, the cardiac monitor manual, the BGL manual... anything with moving parts or electricity... heck, even the recommended O2 amount on a neb treatment is different than what our protocols say.
There are some features that I never knew about the Lifepack 15 until I moved to NC (such as CPR/AED mode), and when we get new equipment, it rarely includes the manufacturer's manual; it's typically a demo from someone, which is passed on from crew to crew, and often based more on tradition vs what the vendor recommends.
