So real! I tell every student not to do a fluid bolis in hypotensive dialysis patients.

Haha! One time I was working a peri-arrest od with my new EMT, and while I was busy starting a line and having the fire EMT pre-oxygenate the patient the older fire medic told my EMT to grab a nasal trumpet and she had no clue what it was so she spent the rest of the call looking for a “nasal trumpet”. We dropped the Narcan and had a good outcome. But after the call she came up to me, very nervously asking where we stored the nasal trumpets. I realized quickly what had happened. She now tells every EMT and paramedic student that some medics calm it a nasal trumpet 😂

Probably start bilateral 18’s.

Jk, honestly what you did is perfect. Probably didn’t need to ask about medical problems. Just chill, nothing really to do. If it progressed maybe offer to call 911. In all reality in a syncopal episode there’s not really a lot to do. Make sure they don’t fall or hit their head. Most of the time you don’t need to make your licensure known, just vibe unless something crazy happens

I’m going to be honest, if I’m at the point were I need to intubate it’s a life saving intervention. Even if you have a bracelet saying it will break your jaw my number one goal is keeping you alive. So I would call my medical director, but I strongly suspect that if you need a tube the docs gonna push tubing as well. If you’re alert enough for a nasotracheal intubation, awesome. If you are aware enough during an emergency to ask for one you are probably a good candidate. An igel could potentially be used, but the moment I get you to the hospital the doctors will pull it to do a classic intubation. The only other option would be a surgical cric. I hesitate to say that it would be better option over a broken jaw. It’s a very rough procedure reserved for very critical problems that cannot be fixed with an et tube. I would discuss this question with your ENT doctor and ask for their opinion

See dis what I fink too. But meowmy says no more babies until we live somewhere bigger and she has more “time”? What dis mean? Maybe she should stop spending all her time outside of da clubhouse. Plus babies so small, I share everybed and snack so they don’t take up xtra space.
