the 100% directionless thread

I have never been told that a patient was too unstable to go to a hospice.facility in the hospital, but was fine to transport 4 hours to their.home hospice before

What kind of vents are you getting, and can you shoot me some logic for the ABX? We're thinking that way ourselves.

I'll get back to you on the vents, I can't remember the brand or model, but they'll do most modes plus cpap. I don't think they'll do bipap though.
And abx for our sepsis protocols and for certain invasive skills they wanna implement, similar to Pecos. There's also talk of abx for severe open trauma that comes from offshore (eg open fx from a surfing accident)
 
@RocketMedic looks like the AHP3000 ventilator is what we are gonna go with

I'm sorry...

We trialed that one a while back- I was not impressed. In all fairness, it was being compared against the Zoll (formerly Impact) AEV, which I thought was excellent.
 
We are hoping it might work for us, 911, not cct. Primarily to reduce manpower needed for.critical patients. It doesn't look bad, and much beter than our autovents we currently have one of.
 
That's fair. The AEV is probably overkill for most of our needs, but we're not putting it on every unit either.
 
Always fun running into people from here. Saw @RocketMedic at local hospital lol
 
Ran into one of my old supervisors from an old company that had gone out of business today at the hospital, she was the one that actually hired me on for my first 911 job and was in charge of scheduling and the like, now she's apparently working as the EMT on a 1-1 Basic-Medic IFT car at the very first company I worked for (the one I left for that 911 job years ago ha)
 
Got off an hour and a half late today and I ain't even mad. Wanna know why? Cause I slept all damn night. That's why.
 
Whew, had a meeting with my background investigator from LA, 3 1/2 hours going over documents, what references said, stuff they still need from me, oh and line by line down not just my application but my follow on personal history questionnaire AND my background from Glendale, any and all slight discrepancies between them, and going over eval reports from Glendale, why I was let go, about my jailbird ex and our slightly convoluted on-again-off-again history....blarg
 
Arrived at hospital to pick pt up. Partner pushes release lever and jams thumb against stair chair and goes "it's gonna be this kinda day isn't it?"....proceeds to pull stretcher out and watch as it falls because the latch slid right over the hook. It was beautiful.
 
ugh can't fine the motivation to start packing.....still need to find a place too. Why must this be so difficult???!!! I hate being an adult.
 
Phone calls that should never happen:
"Hi, it's Meursault on... well, I was about to say P-30, but we just saw P-30 pass us, so... uh..."
 
Well, I was hoping that the last hour or two of my shift would be reasonably decent... alas, no. I handed off 3 relatively sick people. They weren't horrifically sick, but I spent my last 70 minutes or so running from room to room and attempting to do charting and the like (including 2 trips to the CT scanner) before clocking out for the night. Very busy...at least I'm now home and off to bed in a few minutes.
 
Standing over a mortar launcher thinking it can't hurt does not end well
