Does anybody have any additional info on a new AHA Airway Management course? I just got an email from Channing Bete pre-selling their new instructor package. ...
Hmm, AHA trying to get more of our money... Any idea on what will be required to teach this? Looks interesting (BVM, simple adjuncts, LMA, combitube, ETT &...
No, but the new Street Level Airway Management (SLAM) Guide is scheduled to be released by Brady on August 27. As one of the proud authors, I hope you'll ...
And you have a stash of advanced prints, right? How much for an autographed copy??? ;) ... Jon Kavanagh "For the message of the cross is foolishness to those...
FYI... There are some opportunities here for those research minded EMSrs who may be in need of funding ($8-$24k), access to data, and an interested audience. ...
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that this ECG machine shows the same 2.5 seconds four times. The "disappearing QRS complex" is interesting, but the...
Several area EMS agencies are preparing to purchase 12 lead monitor/defib/etc. Here is?your chance to speak up--if you had the last say, which one would you...
I have used the Zoll M series with a 12 lead card and find its display to be small, we currently use the LP 12 which seems to work ok, but I have tested out...
We absolutely do not mind if you post EKGs, especially interesting cases like this one! I understand where Tom is coming from on this one and agree. I believe...
Well, as you can tell by my example of an EKG today, I am not greatly impressed with the Phillips Intellivue 12 lead system, as this artifact we are having is...
It is amazing that the same plus I am saying I have had experience with is a negative for you. The model I tested out, that I found was extremely well filtered...
Tom, I'm young and I realized you didn't see the strip at the bottom. I concur that this monitor obtains all 12 lead tracings from the initial 2.5 seconds,...
The EKG is showing the same 2.5 seconds four times. This is the new Philips 12-lead telemetry system, that when it generates an EKG, it generates it in ...
The hospital I just finished paramedic school at recently got Phillips MRX monitors for the ALS buses and they seem nice enough. I don't like the smaller...
Have you noticed any particular pattern to it? The one you sent is peculiar because the complex is missing from the point where I would expect the Q/R wave to...
No, all the ones have been completely unpredictable to their pattern. I have at least 4 on computer that I can email you if interested, but there has been no...
Agreed, but then that is the limit some of the physicians will go to - such as the surgeons, and occasionally the ER docs. Cannot tell you how many times I...
Interesting... perhaps there is an engineering fix for it that the manufacturer will find. I would be concerned about the interpretation aspects... foolish or...
The system works fairly well except for these about 1 in 1000 EKG's, and so I guess I could see why people like the Philips system. However, their response to...
Don't you just love that? It's like the sales presentation where you ask the salesman a question and he explains to you why you don't really need to know the...
Here in Austin, we use the LP 12s. They not only hold up to the abuse of a busy Urban/suburban/rural EMS system, the give us reliable and consistent results....
