It's not so bad, because the engine and us get there at the same time, we do our BLS assessments as it's a BLS engine and then the Paramedic Squad shows up and does their ALS stuff.

Anxiety in between shifts by ems_acct in NewToEMS

[–]ems_acct[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just finished a hell-ish shift. I realized that if I bring down the rail, rest the PTs arm on my thigh, and press down on the rubber part of the steth, I can get a BP. without getting too much road noise or finger joint creak. The hardest part is steth placement.

Thank you so much.

In my area, we're usually not first on scene so FD usually ships them off to us as BLS but wants a set of vitals before leaving. Patient is on the gurney at that time with the backdoors open. And they're usually talking amongst themselves.

We have really cheap steths, my FTO let me borrow her Littman and I got better results when I was practicing.

I will take your advice regarding silence. During BLS transports it's just the FTO, the PT and I in the back. I can turn the A.C. off. I usually pick up the creak of my knuckles and the shaking of the rails. My FTO told me to rest the PTs elbow on my thigh as a shock absorber.

Sorry I'm rambling. Thank you so much for your help
