As Boston medic already stated there is no "national drug list" if you are teeaching at the paramedic level, the concept is to teach the classes of drugs (i.e. anti-arrythmic, sedative, diuretic) not the specific drug (Lidocaine, Valium, Lasix) so...
Kevin, I too have worked in volunteer and career EMS in urban, suburban, rural and frontier areas of this country. In my opinion, there is no one correct answer. Just as with many other issues in EMS, because of regional differences, it may be in ...
My experience is the cost of the EZ-IO ansd B.I.G is similar, except that the success rate for the B.I.G is only about 50-70%, so you need to use two devices to one EZ-IO needle per pt. It is also been my experience that when people report an EZ-I...
I have used all three adult devices (F.A.S.T., B.I.G, EZ-IO) and the EZ-IO is by far the superior device in my opinion, the issue with any of these devices regarding flow rates is that people usually do not flush the device before use. Vidacare (E...
Hey everyone, Though I no longer live or work in western PA, I started my EMS career there 20 years ago. From Scottdale, EMT-M from WCCC, Medic from PSU-Fayette, woeked for German Ambulance, volunteered at EMT Ambulance in Waynesburg, worked for G...
Hey guys, We use the EZ-IO in all FDA approved sites (proximal and dista tibia and humeral head. I wonder if the service in question either has some state prohibition or regional/service protocol issue. The humeral head site is the most recently a...
Skip, I would envision a problem similar to what is occuring at hospital ED's around the country when using the method you describe, i.e. ED stacking, except in your triage areas. What thought has your system given to this at the "big one" where f...
In a previous agency that I was the Rescue Captain (fire based) for we developed a stable source of income from billing for service, then created incentives such as offering not only in house training that is so often mentioned but also paying for...
Having worked EMS in a number of different states over the years, my response would be that it depends on your local and state laws, rules, regulation and protocols. various systems handle this issue differently. for instance, one system in West V...
Rural EMS providers face challenges many urban providers can not comprehend, from transport times lasting several hours to low call volumes.
Have you had any discussion with your paramedic class lead instructor/course coordinator? Are other people in your class having similar results when attempting the NR CBT? If so, it may be more a reflection on course quality, or on what was emphas...

My wife and I each have standing orders with the other that EMS is absolutely not to be called (no matter where we are) unless one of us is physically incapable of getting the other into a car. Of course, half of that is that we're still in our ea...
See, simple arithmetic tells me that if there aren't enough people to go on fire and EMS calls because they're on police matters, it tells me that they didn't hire enough people, or aren't running them efficiently. The savings of such a system sho...
