I had a new parter once and he rushed everything, he was a paramedic.

On the 1st call of the day we had to give CPR, my parter gave the CPR, and of course, he rushed it.


Can you guess what happend next (2 Posts wrong and ill tell you)

The patient screamed and you realized that this patient did not arrest, but was in fact sleeping?

he did not do properly which made your patient die
idk just kinda figured this btw i am not any kind of medical personel
 
I dunno, broke a rib, did bad compressions (didn't allow the chest to expand back). It's hard to do CPR too fast so long as the compressions are good. Broke the xiphoid process? Since you said you "had to do CPR", i'm assuming that it was warranted and you already checked LOC with a trap pinch or sternal rub.

Signs of obvious death, such as rigor? Valid DNR affixed to the back of the door? Tried to tube without taking out dentures? Surgically removed sternum? LVAD? V-Tach/pulseless V-Fib with CPR already being performed PTA, and no shock given? Soft bed with no CPR board underneath the pt? Assuming he's a paramedic and you're not (I don't know your system) he did CPR and didn't have you do that instead so that he could start ALS interventions?

Report of pulseless/apneic pt in a nursing home, went to the wrong room and started pumping on a sleeping little old lady?

your closest, he did check that he was not breathing, but he broke a rib, punctured a lung and we both got our :censored: kicked, but i explained it was him.

Anyway, after he punctured the lung we called for the Air Ambulance to come with a Doctor, and a Surgeon, they gave anastetics and put that needle and valse into the chest to replease the air

you called the helicopter for a cardiac arrest?

then they gave anesthesia to a dead person before decompressing the chest with a needle rather than a chest tube?

good effort but im calling BS
 
i called air ambulance to come with a doctor because the lung was punctured
 
what would you have done???
 
If I identified a tension pneumo I'd decompress it myself

As far as I was aware, "EMT" doesnt really have a place in the UK. I was of the impression that "Ambulance Officer" and Paramedic were more commonly associated with the "levels" of training.

Reading through your posts it sounds like you may be full of a bit of rubbish:-)
 
here in UK we have either Ambulance or Technician, then Paramedic and then Doctor


Also this is England, we follow different protocoll when treating
 
yes i understand, then why does it say "EMT-Paramedic" under your training..
 
because theyre isnt just Paramedic or Technician.....oh 1 sec....you can type in your own
 
Nevermind you didnt gdt it... Anyway...breaking ribs is going to happen while doing CPR no matter what...ive also fx the sternum it happens when your doin good quality hard,fast CPR...
 
ok...




also whats the best piece of medical equipment to take when on a trip to france
