Ran my first full arrest as a paramedic today. Over a year without one.
But we got ROSC in the truck... So, yea!

A year without working a code? Man, I thought I was bad. Sounds like good work though!

We carry D10. Still can't get our hands on D50. I'm ok with that though

This might be because my service appears to be stockpiling it. We found multiple boxes totaling a couple hundred amps of D50 in our warehouse. What can I say? We have one of those people that's really great at finding supplies where no one else can.

We are the only ones in my area that have it too. Our supply guy is pretty good, he can his hands on things that my previous employer wouldn't even try to.
For a while we were using bags of D25, which I have successfully lobbied to keep on the truck after reading a few articles pointing to D50 being a bit harsh of a therapy at times. So we've got 2 amps of D50 and two bags of D25 on the truck so we can run stuff like Desert!

All I got was AMR's death by power point today and for the rest of the week. I'm not complaining, but it's not my favorite thing :lol:

If they're 250cc bags they are probably 25g
Yep. 19 next month and a medic student. Which is basically the only place I go... Still, it's the point of the matter.

Our protocols are 320 pages long and reading them is murderous. However I did just discover that I can give Zofran on a paramedic's order and then transport the patient so long as it's ODT. Guess I need to push for them to buy some ODT.
Most of our medics are not going to take the flu like symptoms patient that wants to be transported unless they are actively and profusely vomiting. If you just feel nauseous or are a little woozy from being at high altitude for the first time, I am going to be in back with you. I'll start a line and give you fluids, but you will continue to feel nauseous. Hopefully not anymore. I know ODT is not as effective as IV, but it is a start. I will still push for the actively vomiting patient to receive IV Zofran.
