Probably out of fear of getting sued. Sued for what, I don't know... but wouldn't surprise me. They probably think their guidelines are proprietary... and therefore only they can do whatever those guidelines allow.

Just guessing... I could be wildly off base on this.

Dunno. It comes from the flight side. The ground manager isn't sure why they protect them so heavily either
 
Thank you NREMT for moving at a snaila pace. New pay period starts tomorrow. Looks like im double medic for two weeks!

But no one's even scored yet. No what kind of #1 is that? Although I will say the hawks-blues game yesterday in 3OT was entertaining.

Just gave my hypotensive abd pain pt fentanyl and dimenhydrinate. Wonder if the doc is going to yell at me.... Last time I medicated an abd pain pt ( to this hospital) the doctor freaked at me.... While he was in the process of ordering the ct........

Wow. Just... Wow. Hopefully there's a LONG FTO process.

There is. Most of these are geared to the flight side, but we use a unified protocol set for ground and flight. There's also a credentialing process so not everyone is allowed to do everything.

Is it public knowledge what service this is or are you holding it close to the chest?

I'm waiting for an answer of what our social media policy is before I say which company it is.
 
Understandable. Either way, sounds like some pretty crazy protocols. Are they used with any frequency or are most of them right up there with the surgical cric once a decade kind of deal?
 
You are really going to do a cutdown in the field? I think I despise that idea more than field central lines.

Not used too frequently for stuff like pericardiocentesis or cutdown. Video laryngiscopy, femoral lines, and all our medication stuff and crikes are more frequent, but still not what I'd call common. Due to the rural nature and the frontier system classification, we have pretty broad leeway.

I, for one, will never do it. I'd rather drill them or do an EJ/IJ for difficult access. That's one protocol no one I've talked to is sure why it's there.
 
Just got told my company is sending me to a critical care class complete with cadaver lab :) I'm ok with this
 
I don't understand CVCs in the field because they just get replaced, you haven't helped the hospital with anything.

Nate, screw you lol.

I miss work :(
