Big facts

David DeBergh do it. Let us know how we can help

tennessee is the "Harvard of EMS"-look forward to joining you

Dangerous situations such as domestic violence, shootings, certain mass casualties. EMTs and paramedics always have police secure the scene in those situations but it's an added level of safety.

TheKZfaqGuy Don't criticise them, instead be thankful that our UK paramedics don't have to carry them, and try to make sure they never have to =)

@@theyoutubeguy1 yea your right they have bombs

LorJSR We do have stab vests in the UK, they are standard issue for London Ambulance Service. Not too sure about other parts of the UK though.

some medics around me actually carry a concealed handgun. sometimes on shooting calls medics arrive first and the shooter could still be there.

Haha... lifepack 15. Just wait till you find some zolls. Good luck and enjoy your rides. Congrats

That's true

is this meant to be a joke?

If of course the patient actually needs transport......... many can be treated on scene.

My instructor told me that ALS stands for Ain't Lifting Shit lol. He loved his job but hated carrying patients!

@@Crazyjay325 Haha! Love that one. I was told by one of our training officers that CPR stood for Check Pockets and Run.

Look into magnesium therapy

Here's a question for you. I had a displaced femoral neck fracture following a bicycle wipe out. A fellow cyclist that saw everything from behind was a vascular surgeon and had me stand and put weight on the affected side, the side where the fracture had occurred. Was that a bad idea on his part? He was the one that dialed 911 and he was trying to inform the first res-ponders of the situation at hand and that was what caused him to suspect a femoral head fracture. It was later determined that it was a displaced femoral head fracture at the hospital. Might have his decision to have me stand on the affected leg have caused the displacement of the fracture? By the way, I was able to converse with the paramedics on the ride to the hospital, though I was in a bit of pain. The real pain came when I got the bill later.

Lorena Chito your coment teje video, is very interesting my friend, good bye Lorena! Thanks

Because hollywood, genius

Theyre not so much goodies as so they are life saving materials and items to help with the process of patient care and assessment. A major part they have all those goodies is for dire situations to help stabilize the Patient until they get to the hospital to where they can intervene with the more widely access of knowledgeable personal and materials so provide the best possible care to get the patient back to what is considered a baseline or stable to where they can be either be released or a follow up to that hospital or a specialist for their condition.

Larry Welser wooosh

Goodies? Someone has a problem.

Yea im in Reno and we have good protocols and such here too and similar meds but I think u got us beat on equipment.

I challenge you to tell me what the code was though.

Wood Duck what the heck...........

Why are you afraid of an ambulance? Its not a serial killer it saves lives! Go walk inside one to conquer this irrational fear. Fears are mental blocks. They should all be removed.

@@lass-inangeles7564 one cannot simply remove all fears, indeed irrational fears are named irrational for a reason. But fear is what drives us and keeps us pushing to protect those we love from that it is we fear.

You should have considered an oronasal mask (either a rebreather or non-rebreather type) or a venturi mask. Also in that case, consider non-invasive ventilation (if the patient's conscious).

I love the Corpuls C3, but t.b.h I`ve never used something different. It is so intuitive, idiot-save while at the same time having everything a monitor possibly needs and the ability to divide it in three parts. Look it up, mate

PrepMedic that would be great

I had to look it up. To be honest there's one reason why I'd hate it: cleaning and especially disinfecting the ambulance. Although we have everything in compartments, the compartments are filled up pretty well, leaving almost no empty room in between. That's the Ambulance I used to work on: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pqdlndaAv766oGw.html

I think that the more you have in cupboards the more things get damaged and cannot be used. Same with equipment bags - they get so packet with stuff that things go out of date and they put a strain on zips etc.

of course some things go out of date, it happens with medical equipment just like with medication as well. We still have to have them on board for the rather rare but special emergency scenarios

That makes more sense now. Thank you for responding to my question in a timely manner. I really appreciate it.

as far as i know, this is just a theory, without any actual proof. I'm a paramedic in germany and we immoilize everybody whos had a significant mechanism of injury and or back pain.

Mechanism of industry as a standard for medical intervention is on the way out if not generally frowned upon. Seems like EMS all over the world cold do with some standardized practices. Look up the NEXUS and the canadian C-spine rules.

PrepMedic I've read many of those studies too. We did away with spinal immobilization just based on MOI years ago. They have to meet certain criteria after proper assessment. If a training officer got wind you immobilized a patient "just because they had a significant MOI" you'd be taken off road and grilled about every drug and procedure! Did I read correct that Germans immobilize everybody with back pain?
