Today we review a Respiratory Failure call in which a Paramedic becomes tunnel visioned to ALS modalities, when all they really needed was simple BLS procedures.
In today's episode we are joined with Gerard (NYS AEMTP) and Emily (NYS EMT, ER-RN) to review a call in which a Paramedic and EMT team overshoot the basics and get tunnel visioned with ALS modalities. We also discuss a great journal article in how severe Hypoxia can cause direct Asystole and why PEA is not considered Cardiac Arrest (Link to Journal Article https://rb.gy/kfsjlj). Finally we discuss positioning of a CHF patient in respiratory arrest and why it matters.
