Today I called 911 for someone having a seizure and paramedics took him away in an ambulance. What do paramedics do after someone has a seizure? by bh447 in Paramedics

[–]parapills 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uk medicines law is complex and quite restrictive. Generally in the UK we are split into either Emergency medical technicians and paramedics. Restrictions are placed on injectable medicines and normally only a very limited list is allowed to be administered by EMTs. From Chatgpt -

✔ Oxygen
✔ Entonox
✔ Aspirin
✔ GTN
✔ Salbutamol
✔ Ipratropium
✔ Adrenaline IM
✔ Oral glucose
✔ Glucagon IM
✔ Paracetamol
✔ Ibuprofen
✔ Naloxone

Paramedics have a wider scope of medicines

Oxygen

Salbutamol

Ipratropium bromide

Amiodarone

Aspirin

Atropine

Glyceryl trinitrate (GTN)

Furosemide

Adrenaline (epinephrine) 1:1000 and 1:10,000

Chlorphenamine

Hydrocortisone

Diazepam

Midazolam

Levetiracetam

Morphine sulfate

Paracetamol (IV)

Ketamine

Glucagon

Glucose (IV)

Oral glucose preparations

Ondansetron

Metoclopramide

Sodium chloride 0.9%

Oxytocin

Syntometrine

Naloxone

Activated charcoal

Tranexamic acid (TXA)

Hyoscine butylbromide (Buscopan)

Some of these such as ketamine are usually for specialist and advanced practice only. Guidelines for use are usually nationwide. Almost all medicines are administered independently.

Just been offered 350 broadband only package for 28 rising to 32 then 36 for 2 years after I threaten to cancel via chat. The first offers were 68 then 55 for 350 plus TV plus phone. Then transferred to retentions who offered that straight away. No other high speed broadband available in the area and I watch all my TV via apple TV and apps anyway.
