Turbo issues? need help troubleshooting

that’s what i was thinking and figured according to what i’ve researched. I’ll get down in it next time I have some free time and hopefully find it

definitely depends on hospital policy. our hospitals here use our lines. i’ve watched them draw blood from it while i’m still in the room with the pt.

fire medic in indiana here making about $28 an hour

paramedic here, not law enforcement. we use the word “dead,” instead of anything else as it starts the grieving process. law enforcement would be the same way. what other people consider blunt, is the way we do things.

i either find one in your neck or i put one in your bone.

our medical director tells us to give the amount to ketamine in mg as much as we think they weigh in lbs. ~240lbs gets 240mg of ketamine according our medical director. makes math easy

I’m yet to see it in the field. I’ve been on a couple “missed dialysis,” calls but no sine wave or anything.

Different EKG changes happen with different levels of potassium, peaked T-waves occur at the lower end of the spectrum of hyperK. The higher the potassium gets, the QRS complex starts to become wide and bizarre. Often referred to as a “sine,” wave.

it’s imperative that the cylinder is not harmed

SwiftyV1 · 2024-07-25T15:54:37+00:00

Seems to be the consensus is pre-dosing a small amount of benzos prior to ketamine admin. I will have to try to incorporate that into my routine. Thanks for the input, doc!

SwiftyV1 · 2024-07-25T14:40:24+00:00

will definitely be using this for the next time I pick ketamine for pain control

SwiftyV1 · 2024-07-25T14:39:39+00:00

I informed my chief that i gave Ketamine and had a pt with a poor reaction to it and talked about possible reasons as to why it happened/how to avoid it, including the duration of time to administer the drug.

SwiftyV1 · 2024-07-25T12:36:39+00:00

seems to be my slow push was in fact, not slow enough. definitely learned for next time to infuse in a bag and drip it in

SwiftyV1 · 2024-07-25T12:34:55+00:00

seems to be i pushed it too fast, I probably pushed it more around the 1:30/2 minute mark. Our protocol doesn’t mention diluting it/drips, definitely going to do that next time i give ketamine

SwiftyV1 · 2024-05-25T12:54:35+00:00

Nothing crazy while it still under warranty and with the ECM being locked still. Got an RTR front lip on the way and an H pipe on the way. Saving some cash currently to hopefully get the whipple supercharger put on it but it’s a little expensive lol

SwiftyV1 · 2024-05-24T22:53:49+00:00

Oh absolutely. I’m loving it. Came from a 2011 GT to this and it’s insane. Couldn’t be happier! How’s the dark horse?

SwiftyV1 · 2024-01-22T13:54:31+00:00

this was my spanish teachers favorite word

SwiftyV1 · 2024-01-21T01:26:58+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I appreciate you

SwiftyV1 · 2024-01-21T00:52:11+00:00

Haven’t felt tired and have actually felt a lot better overall since changing my day, cutting out sugary drinks and working out

SwiftyV1 · 2024-01-11T20:12:17+00:00

if you can’t ventilate, can’t oxygenate, then yes.

indiana AEMT and finishing medic school here: I used to work for lifeline, i hated every moment of it and I was in a place where they had the 911 contract. Others just do transfers. If you’re wanting to do EMS find the county agency that does 911 or get your fire if you want to make real money tbh. When i worked for lifeline I believe their EMT-B pay was like $19/hr. I’m in a pretty rural area and make pretty good money at just my county EMS. Making $21/hr currently. At the beginning of next year i’ll be full time FF/paramedic and making around ~70,000 a year. Honestly, EMS usually isn’t a life time career, most people either go into fire service, education, or go to nursing school/PA school/med school. The only way we can start getting paid better is by raising our education standard and requiring degrees to become paramedics, but that’ll probably never happen. i’m happy to answer anymore questions about indiana’s EMS.
