For someone who doesn't carry a monitor, can't start an IV, and is limited essentially to oxygen and oral glucose (some places allow albuterol), what exactly are you expecting an EMT to do for cardiogenic, distributive, or obstructive shock?

Well, it might be nice to have ALS for these... whereas for the hemorrhagic they're gonna have to dive through my open window as I pass.
