Push Dose Epi (Fast, Easy and Accurate BP Control) 

I'm going to second this because sometimes a video like this is just what someone may need to help connect the dots. I'm frequently finding in the EMT/medic refreshers I help teach that meds and med administration can sometimes be a big struggle point for some. Sometimes just getting them hands on with this again is enough, though it is nice to have a video resources to reference as well or point others towards as extra study. At the very least, it's a great option to have available.

😂

sometimes the turbulence of shaking the bag will make the medication frothy. I honestly tilt the bag upside down once and then right side up and call it good!

My thoughts are that it comes down to money, storage, and use. Medications vials will say you can dilute with NS vs bacteriostatic water but it is for immediate use vs. letting it sit out for 24 hours before used (such as vecuronium). Flushes are labeled as "Not Sterile"; yet the saline inside the syringe is used in sterile procedures every day. Provided the sterile user and the sterile field did not come in contact with the "un-sterile" syringe. Someone has to squirt the saline into a sterile cup. I have seen your comment like you're on another video, yet I have never seen an answer. I also have never seen this type of claim on the flushes either, in any of the areas of practice that I have worked in, since flushes have made the scene. I honestly think it is a way for manufacturers to get more money out of the system. No one else seems to have an answer. Is it maybe a particular manufacturer that is putting this on the flushes? Maybe something happened and they had to "relabel" the product?

No you don't you can use immediately however he didn't do it you just shake the syringe to mix it when it has a bit of air in it then dispel the air and push.

how do you have either cert without physical training with a cpr dummy?

@@markrein6904 When I was in lifeguard training we trained with the CPR dummy.

Haven’t used them so can’t really have an opinion yet.

You mean used to treat hypertension?

@@PrepMedic Yes.

@krisdeaglephotography4539 so I think you are confused on what alpha 1 and beta 1 receptors do. Both contribute to increased cardiac output and vascular constriction. What would cause it to decrease blood pressure?

@@PrepMedic Beta-1. Beta always dilates and 1 works on the heart. Therefore does that not mean beta-1 acts as a vasodilator? Am I missing something or does beta-1 not work that way?

@krisdeaglephotography4539 beta 1 increases chronotropy and inotropy which both act to increase blood pressure. Beta 2 is smooth muscle relaxation which gives you some basic dilation but it’s certainly never going to drop blood pressure with Epi.

attend and pass a paramedic course, pass the NREMT exam, apply for your state license

Thank you bit i need to take emt first before paramedic like is mandatory or is recommended to take emt know the basics then go to paramedic

@@JDLRodriguez it depends on what state you live in, but you probably don’t NEED to take EMT first, but a lot of people recommend you work as an EMT for a few years before becoming a medic.

@@JDLRodriguez What do you want to do with it and who do you want to work for? Every state is different and every organization that uses Paramedics have different requirements. Research who you would like to work for and go from there. If they will train you, all the better. Why pay out of your pocket if they will pay you train? Many large Fire Departments run their own EMS programs. Most Helicopter EMS want to see a few years of 911 experience plus you will need your Flight Paramedic certs unless they hire you with the stipulation that you will have that cert in X amount of time.

​​@@murvygoaz5903No one needs to work as an EMT before becoming a paramedic. That is a nonsense recommendation. Though some states require you to get an EMT license before you get a paramedic license.

We actually carry pumps on our trucks 😊 We can grab it and take it into a ditch with us.

Well phenylephrine is just another option for push dose and I often a better option for a patient who is hypotensive purely from sedation. Phenyl just isn’t carried by a lot of EMS agencies and isn’t always the best choice for multifacorial hypotension.

It isn’t actually. It is a female to female connector without a dial.
