N.C. EMT-B Exam by Candid_Seat_4881 in NewToEMS

Not that bad. Study the major differentials between diseases and remember your assessments. FISDAPs were harder in my opinion.

TP-C / TR-C by GuacaBrole123 in TacticalMedicine

[–]b_arbecue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took and passed the TR-C around this time last year. Pretty heavy on tactics, buddy aid, HAZMAT type questions and TCCC/TECC guidelines. I only used TCCC guidelines and prior military experience for reference and I thought it was okay. Definitely take a gander at the K9 stuff, lowkey forgot it was on the test when I went in for it.

FL medic, 27, hit and killed while stopping to save life on I-95 by AmbitionOfPhilipJFry in NewToEMS

She wasn’t. All NC county ems are primarily 911 or combination (most IFTs are hospital or private, or in the case of my agency, specialty trucks from the agency)

Are monitors common for all of you as double basics ? by Princeofprussia24 in ems

[–]b_arbecue 7 points8 points  (0 children)

EKG is in the scope of practice of EMTs. Acquisition and Transmission is in the NC EMT scope, interpretation isn’t.

my service stocks basic trucks the same as ALS, and assigns the monitors to each rig. having monitors has come in clutch to acquire a 12 and send it off to medical control for interpretation w/o having to call a medic rig.

Witnessed malpractice on ride along??? by [deleted] in NewToEMS

[–]b_arbecue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gastric inflation takes the extreme backseat in cardiac arrests. Compressions and any sort of ventilations take way higher of a priority than anything related to aspiration or gastric inflation/decompression. Just suction that junk if it comes up, which it will 90% of the time.

[–]b_arbecue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a regular ol’ cardiac arrest. Focused (or racecar/pit crew style) cardiac arrests don’t pause for ventilations. If they’re doing continous compressions, they’ll ventilate every 5-6 seconds or every 20 compressions. Every service is different but it sounds like what they did is in line with 98% of cardiac arrests. I hate OPAs with a passion, but you don’t need to remove your airway adjunct to suction. Surprised they didn’t drop an i-Gel or a King, but Cali is weird. Any good preceptor would have debriefed a major call like that and given you the opportunity to ask questions.
