Cardiac Tamponade, ABC's, IV, Moniter, Fly to Trauma Center. But while waiting for the bird the Pt goes into PEA and then begines to ART. So once again the Trauma Gods take a big shit and leave it for you to clean up. On a side note there was a service recently here in Northern Indiana that was doin...

Welcome....

If you quit school why will you not quit when it "doesn't feel right for me at the present moment in my life" when you are in the Army?

Outfuckinstanding, Do you have any prior medical training? Only the block of instruction taught in BCT. Other than that, negative. Although I was in a CSH for 2-years, the work I was doing there was in the S1 shop as an unofficial 42L. You show potential keep it up. If you have a pt with Epiglottit...

Bonus ? The epiglottis is of concern in a sick child for what reason and what is the condition and signs and symptoms. Epiglottitis is the inflammation of the epiglottis and is of great concern for a child because of its rapid onset which can obstruct breathing. Symptoms include difficult or noisy ...

Do you want us to show the organic chemistry of the Krebs cycle in the produciton of CO2 like this... http://chemistry.gsu.edu/glactone/PDB/Proteins/Krebs/krebs9.gif As well as the reduction of Oxygen in the electron transport chain like this... http://www.plantphys.net/images/ch11/wt1102a.jpg Or i...

Oxygen inhaled either through the mouth or the nose enters either the naso or oro pharynx and then to the larygeno pharynx. Onto the larynx --> trachea -->glottis --> bronchial tubes --> and alveoli where oxygen and CO2 are exchanged. From the capillaries in the lungs, the oxygen rich blood travels...

OK , no takers? I have to pour some concrete this morning then I will post an answer this afternoon.

Capnography is only on Intubated patients with inline monitering. We use the Zoll M series right now. Had LifePak 12's for awhile and I do not have a preference as to which yet. The capnography is fairly new for us but I love it. I agree 100% about being perfect with BLS before ALS is attempted. Pt....

Ok, If you do a little research this will be easy. It is all about airway anatomy and the anatomy of the circulatory system. First a little info. The atmosphere has an average of 22% O2, this is what you inhale when you take a breath. When you exhale there is aproximatly 16% O2. So what path does th...

That is awesome Ranger bustedkidney, I'll have to see if they will allow that one. What would your field application be in the prehospital setting? If it's useful, do some research on the topic/procedure. Get your research together with some other EMS systems that might employ the technique and pre...

Trick-o-the-trade, I always have one of these in my pocket at the hospital (along with 14g angiocath, scalpel, a stick of flush and stick of neosynephrine) Put a AMBU connector from a 7.5 ET in to the 7.5mm NT. now you can hook it straight to an ambu once placed (just keep mouth closed) People are ...

Dirty, I have attempted to give you some latitude by allowing you to pass along information you are currently being exposed to. This courtesy seems a little premature however, in that I find you are inciting the same bashing you seem to garner in every other forum you post in. This will not take pl...
