...and if you've got a opiate OD that needs Narcan with no access, you can always IN or IM that stuff.
I usually don't bother starting lines on most of my opiate ODs these days. IN Narcan and call it good.
I squeaked a 24 into a woman's foot a few weeks ago. 'twas a good'un.

Medic had to push drugs. It wasn't an extremely memorable call, just that skull IVs stuck with me. I've [heard] of them being done before. The first person to actually tell me about them was Mr. Ferrucci (whom you might know), whose brought a couple of people in with head IVs.

I assume it would require the 15mm(red) needle on most patients save for the pedal edemas.
Is there really any rhyme or reason to it though other than improving the marketability/versatility of their product?

The more sites the better? You never know what you are going to run into. We had a burn pt a few weeks ago that was a few inches away from needing ankle IOs over tibial because of how far down the burns went.

Here's a good question...
Can you still IO a site that has been burned? Theoretically as long as the medullary cavity is still circulating you should be good to go? I'm sure the infection risk is pretty exentisve though... Last resort obviously.

Why is it that every time I go to see my medical director to talk about a call I had, he always ends up trying to set me up with his med student?

You could, assuming you could still find the land marks, but it would be poor form if there was a non burned site available.
You say this like it is a bad thing...

You're that limited?
If it's not a central line I'm going for, I'm allowed to stick it. Be it AC, ankle, foot, scalp, breast, hand, EJ, whatever.
If I see a vein that I think I can get, I go for it, regardless of location. Granted, 9/10 times that ends up being the AC...

Well...something I did back in April has come back to reward me...
Long story short, I was on my way home from work, and this all happened right in front of me on a bridge. I didn't even think twice, and lent some help to the State Patrol Sgt. While restraining the subject, I ran a PT assessment, sample history and general rapor with the subject. (Keep in mind I was still in school for becoming an EMT-B when this happened). When the paramedics arrived (who happened to be one of my preceptors for my ride times), I was able to give him a full verbal report on the subject.
Then I went about my normal life, not thinking about it until I got a phone call (and a letter) from the Dept Of Transportation/State Patrol Safety Bureau....

A hot med student hinders your productivity? What see you, a monk working on a Nobel prize in his spare time?
Edit - wait a second, are you even old enough that they've dropped yet? Lol

I miss my 350z, I dumped so much money into that thing just to tear it up drifting. Now I am dumping money in my wrangler but at least it's a little more practical....ya not really. Oh and the ladies loved both of my cars but they attract two totally different kinds of girls.

2011 Wrangler unlimited checking In
Lifted/front bumper and winch. Need bigger tires waiting on the stock 32s to wear down before shelling out $1500 considering I had to pay extra for the stockers...
Classy women dig jeeps. The kind that want a real man.
