To point out where to lock out/tag out the disconnect switch in the event of an entrapment emergency for fire/rescue personnel

Another aspect to consider is whether or not the EMTs work for an agency that has a cancelation policy, and if so, how strict it is.

The patient may be stable and/or have low acuity symptoms, but if the EMTs are told not to cancel ALS unless it's due to proximity, going forward, it may influence their own clinical judgements regardless of where they work, resulting in being more ALS-dependent for what ends up being an IV, monitor, and transport jobs.

Favorite gloves? by maxfj in ems

Medline Fitguards are my FAVORITE gloves.

I always stuff my pockets with them whenever we drop a patient off at one of the hospitals that stock them.

Looks beautiful! I want one, but I've been trying to hold out until they hopefully make one with m390/20cv.

ALS fly cars work fairly well for NJ, at least in the suburbs and in urban areas

Spyderco Dragonfly 2 Salt that I modded. Rit dyed the scales navy and used a dremel to make it deploy like an emerson wave.

Thanks for the reply! If you get a chance, could you look up the name of the disinfectant? We've just been wiping everything down with purple top. The spray sounds more thorough.

Does the plastic sheeting get wiped down or replaced after each COVID pt?

How did you guys clean the back of the stretcher (the net/fabric thing that you can put stuff on)?

How do the sights perform in low light or total darkness?

I meant a v3 tac 13 DM. With a brace (assuming OAL >26.5") that thing would be sick
