What are you or your service doing now or still doing from years ago in regards to pulseless cardiac arrest PTs? Let's say you have a PT who is in V-Fib and you have exhausted your entire ACLS…Continue

Matt King replied to Skip Kirkwood's discussion What's Missing from Pre-Service EMS Education"Skip I'm glad you brought this up. Your examples are right on. I definitely agree with teaching more situational awareness as well as crew resource management type situations. You have obvious been around(not in a dirty way. He he...) soyour…"

Matt King replied to Tom Bouthillet's discussion King LTS-D, ResQPod, Waveform Capnography, EZ-IO"Joe I am not understanding your question. And to one up you, it only matters if the PT comes out of the hospital close to neurologically the same way they were prior to going into caridac arrest right?

Matt King replied to Tom Bouthillet's discussion King LTS-D, ResQPod, Waveform Capnography, EZ-IO"No Tom I do not feel that paramedics get enough of what you stated. You are right. My goal was to try to state this in my last post, but probably didn't make it known. We don't get enough which is why we owe it to…"
Matt King replied to Tom Bouthillet's discussion King LTS-D, ResQPod, Waveform Capnography, EZ-IO"Harry with all due respect this is concerning "I will put it in as early in the arrest as is possible after I am sure all the other tasks are covered." Who taught you that this is acceptable? What standard airway algorythm or…"
Matt King replied to Tom Bouthillet's discussion King LTS-D, ResQPod, Waveform Capnography, EZ-IO"Tom good question. 4 minutes is not several minutes. Many services out there are actually practicing CCR(Cardio Cerebral Rsucitation) hands only approach and are getting them same results if not better as to incorporated breathing. So in…"
Matt King replied to Tom Bouthillet's discussion King LTS-D, ResQPod, Waveform Capnography, EZ-IO"Thanks for the clarification... Why even think of placing a tube in the first 3 minutes?
aybe after the first 5 minutes. That first 4 minutes IMO should be focused on close to perfect BLS tactics along with seting up for IV/IO…"
Matt King replied to Tom Bouthillet's discussion King LTS-D, ResQPod, Waveform Capnography, EZ-IO"Nathan personally I think your approach to establishing an IV is lazy if you start off placing an IO in most of your cardiac arrests. I rarely have to place an IO in my cardiac arrests. And splen very little time trying. Just my…"
Matt King replied to Tom Bouthillet's discussion King LTS-D, ResQPod, Waveform Capnography, EZ-IO"So here I go... The King LTSD is a great supra glottic rescue device. I have used it several times and only a few times I had to reseat it in the airway based off a declining wave form from being somewhat dislodged. The rep from…"
Matt King replied to Mike Bjarköy's discussion tongue depressors with oropharyngeal airways"Well it depends like previously said. I have never had to personally. To me patients who may buy an OPA tend to not have a gag reflex. My personal technique I have been taught is to grab the tongue with the lower jaw and…"
Matt King replied to Keith Grayson's discussion Field Use of Ketamine in the USA"And your point? It's a great drug if used for the right PT and right circumstances. No need to explain your point. Just trying to get you to provide a case for your point so other can learn
