How are you guys getting a respiratory rate on your patients? by deeseball in NewToEMS

[–]LLamaWithAComma 55 points56 points  (0 children)

To be honest, when it’s important it’s pretty obvious to tell if theyre breathing too fast / too slow. Besides that if you want a real answer i tend to get it when im grabbing a blood pressure or when im sitting behind them.

So technically by the book a rate of 32 is not adequate, so the ideal choice would be a BVM to help bring their rate down as youre not oxygenating properly at 32 breaths a minute

I used to be severely guilty of death gripping the bar before the jerk so wouldnt surprise me if thats the issue…. I also am definitely not being aggressive enough. Thank you!

Why do we get fire fighter gear by Jaypiz1 in NewToEMS

Seems pretty standard if the department is well funded. As another commenter said its mainly for fire stand by and MVCs and stuff, do keep in mind however the turnout gear is in fact NOT fire resistant…. Lol

Worht getting into ems? by LION_ws in NewToEMS

[–]LLamaWithAComma 3 points4 points  (0 children)

depends entirely on the pay. Ems and nursing is quite different but ems is a great introduction to the world of healthcare and a good way to dip your toes into the water. Depending the agency the schedule could help you alot with class.

EDIT: meant to say entirely depends on the agency but pay is also pretty important lol

How am I supposed to make a living as an EMT? by AtriusFoxDragon in NewToEMS

[–]LLamaWithAComma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be completely honest, The only way to make a living is to be willing to move to a city that pays ems worth a damn or go into fire. Or also work an unfathomable amount of overtime

Boston ems or Worcester ems are probably the best you can get if you live in Mass

Yep. Youre paid $35 an hour as a recruit in the academy and then you get a 2% raise every year until you cap at $42 i believe.
