the 100% directionless thread

We live right by the ocean. 5 gallon bucket and some zip lock bags. Problem solved.
 
Getting excited. New spinal immobilization protocol (still using backboards thanks to local trauma surgeons, although more freedom there), freedom with pain control with the exception of headaches, and sedation protocols are rolling out.

We've been out of vec too. Our last vials expired the first. Good thing we have sux and roc. We are getting ketamine instead of etomidate because of this shortage

We are supposed to be getting ketamine as an alternative to etomidate. We haven't had vec since last calendar year....don't carry roc...repeated sux pushes happen ...

Ketamine is an alternative for Propofol for us. I love having Roc as an option on our trucks.
 
Well after 9 hours of back to back calls I finally get a chance to eat!

Wow, didn't even know vec and etomidate were part of the shortages. I (on the field provider level) haven't had difficulty restocking those from the hospitals lately, but I could see that being a bit of a problem as we don't carry ketamine or rocoronium as of now.


We do already have protocols for ketamine I guess, so it wouldn't be too hard to add that to the kits and Pyxis with a bit of in-service training. Roc on the other hand might be slightly more challenging from a bureaucratic standpoint.

And apparently I managed to get myself into an argument about volunteer EMS on a gun forum. Really?
