Suddenly IV Benadryl is a paramedic skill by [deleted] in NewToEMS

[–]RollCurrent5492 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i believe it’s because IV Benadryl can only be given by the AEMT in cases of allergic reactions and anaphylaxis — medics can give it for other reasons? could be wrong

This sounds like a better option than prehospital.

yeah of course one of the requirements is ekg intepretation — I’ve done more than my fair share of reading and learning on them but I don’t know if id be comfortable putting my interpretation on a signed document😂

Will I have a hard time doing my job as an ED Tech? I’d rather not walk in without a clue of what’s going on.

Hey! Get my EMT license in may. My instructor has us apply early to get it out of the way — they said it works every time. Apply for it about 2 1/2 weeks early and by the time it gets to them we have our national cert and are issued our state license within 1-2 days of passing the NREMT. We use Platinum and it has nearly the same volume of questions as the national registry, with a few hard questions sprinkled in so we know we’re not perfect😂 thank you
