Very interestingly, how do you apply them (ice packs) on the patient ?
I just attended a class about the hypothermia in cardiac arrest. The study showed very promising results and the Pre hospital personnel were just using ice packs to initiate the cooling process. Ice packs simpler, we all carry them, and won't impa...
I just recently read an article from the 2009 AHA Scientific Sessions regarding the use of a nasal device to induce hypothermia for resuscitated cardiac arrest patients. The article is available @ http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/712430. Medsca...

Another Health Care Option
I have something I wanted to throw out there. An option to reign in costs and provide coverage is to have companies contract with hospitals directly to provide health coverage to thier employees. In this way, you would not need a private insurance company because the company would be in a contract with a hospital or hospital group. Then you keep Medicare for those who are elderly and/or disabled. If a company doesn't have the resources on thier own to enter a contract with a hospital, then the c… Continue

Hi everyone, I have been working a Fly Car now for 2 years. I also like the concept. In fact, the hospital that I am working in (Bangkok, Thailand) is the only hospital base ambulance that operate this type of vehicle with multi-tasks.
If you work in a "fly car" or "first responder" this is the place for you. Say hello, get to know each other, share experiences good or bad. A good place to vent or just learn what we all do in our regions.
