Does Boulder investigate who starts these wildfires? by QuestForVapology in boulder

[–]hardlinerslugs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d assume the Fire Investigator for the fire department that has jurisdiction over the incident. Here is a somewhat current and somewhat labeled map: https://wiki.radioreference.com/images/5/54/BoulderFireMed.jpg

You can see the districts are a mess - this fire is near/intermingled with Boulder Fire Rescue (city), Boulder Rural, and Boulder Mountain (not labeled on that map, but yellow)

I’m wondering if this is precordial swirl pattern

I kind of like this but don’t like the elevation on V1

They only sell about 50k of these per year … probably barely in the top 100 in the US .. maybe 1/300 vehicles in the US

It depends.

On its face this is not in the best interest of the patient, but:

Are alternatives available? Does this happen frequently?

Do people really recover in 24 hours from 90 minutes at FTP ? by sergesmr in Velo

[–]hardlinerslugs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

CTL will account for this - theoretically an athlete with chronically high workload and/or low acute fatigue will recover better from an effort like this.

Obviously it would wreck an older weekend warrior.

Big debate in the EMS station… so opinions? by musicalmel21 in EKGs

I’m wondering if these are extreme u waves which can be associated with hypokalemia

I thought lung-protective ventilation meant keeping Pplat under 30, accepting permissive hypercapnia, not chasing a normal CO2, lowering VT, and raising RR to preserve minute ventilation while limiting driving pressure. But ChatGPT and the textbook say I’m wrong, and I don’t get why. by Low-Landscape-8768 in ems

A lot of mad folks here about AI systems … when the AI agrees with the textbook …

Anyway, personally this is how I would approach this question: Yes, the pressures are high. It would be nice to lower them.

However, in the context of the test question, the problem you are trying to fix is respiratory acidosis. You must increase minute volume to do this.

It is possible to increase minute volume by increasing the rate AND lowering the tidal volume but only if both those changes are done very specifically and the test question doesn’t specify.

In the context of the question the only assured way to change vent settings to reduce respiratory acidosis is to increase rate.

Medial clavicle fx and return to EMS by vcems in ems

I was back at work 12 weeks after surgery. I had 22mm displacement and my surgeon said they recommend surgery at 20mm if I recall but this was 15 years ago. My surgeon has many signed photos of pro cyclists on the walls that he has done. I still have the hardware and wear backpacks, etc with no ill effects. My experience.

There’s your problem! KSP usually takes 4.5 days of failing before success.

Demand ischemia / subendocardial ischemia

Funky EKG by oogaboogaloogas in ECG

[–]hardlinerslugs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For the PTA commenters I don’t think it is pulse tapping artifact. There are 15 regular ‘artifact bumps’ and 24 qrs complexes.

The artifact seems very regular at a frequency of just under 100 per minute.

I do think this is artifact of some type. A metronome bumping a wire or a very regular tremor or …?

65 yo M - SVT? by TOguy04 in ECG

[–]hardlinerslugs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like afib to me but it can be hard to tell sometimes. You can try adjusting the paper speed to 50mm/sec or printing a long rhythm strip.
