Great review… I’ve always like the stat packs…most especially their early IV pack where it would hang with the bag. With rotary wind the on scene certainly requires a different load out..I was predominately fixed wing so more CCT. We went with roller bags so we could roll them into the hospital Ana’s hold the larger items like the vent, triple channel pumps as well as the syringe pumps. Neonatal were nice were a lot of our gear was mounted to the isolate. It was a beast but permanently MOUNTING monitors and pumps was certainly nice. Looks like a great set up and well thought out. Thanks for sharing..

Nah. There is a time and place for a manual but EMS is the only field in healthcare that thinks this way. In critical care it’s the monitor all day everyday. If you are getting errant readings then sure, but otherwise there are more important things to be done than taking up a set of hands and blocking one side of the patient taking a manual BP.

@PrepMedic
3 жыл бұрын
Yeah, I think you would be hard pressed to find a flight RT making double what I make. Personally if you want to be flights I wouldn’t do RT. Simply put there is no skill an RT possesses that a medic or nurse doesn’t. They are also almost never the ones to actually do airway procedures in the hospital setting. Some hospitals will allow them to intubate but they are the exception, not the rule. Because they only deal with airway they are not always well suited for the variety of patients that HEMS services see. Just my experience though, that isn’t to say it isn’t different somewhere else

There is nothing "out of the scope" of a ground paramedic if the medical director authorizes it and the crew is sufficiently trained for it. That was a disingenuous statement. Unless the state has some law against it or something. Most states (especially in rural areas) don't.

Actually, most states have a listed scope of practice document, and if the skill is not included, you cannot perform that intervention even if your medical director “says you can”. Example: Iowa state scope of practice explicitly states in the document that medical directors may limit skills but may not add them if it is not in the scope of practice. Most states, if they wish to do that, they must apply for a waiver from the state. Whereas some states like Texas, your medical director gets to completely decide your scope of practice.
