I would love to buy and read some older ems books from the 70's and 80's. Any ideas or suggestions? I have an older EMT book from the 80's and it's neat because of the old school words and procedures. Also, if you know any outdated medical/rescue procedures or slang from back in the day, please share it with us.
One more random question. We stopped giving cardiac arrest pts D5W and instead we give them NSS. I think this is because cardiac arrest pts tend to be hyperglycemic. Scientifically speaking, why is this?
