Depending on your specialty you may have the opportunity to ride with EMS during residency. Some EM programs insist you do it. If you have a chance you should do it. My wife is an internist and did a ride along with a crew a couple months ago. Said seeing patients as they are found before paramedics and then the emergency docs tune them up before she accepts admits has really opened her eyes to some things.
Thank you for your videos, as a German Firefighter and First Responder it's always interesting to see how you deal with the tasks at hand. Keep on your good work
Excellent video for the large medic bags. Some of our security forces airmen have blue force gear micro trauma kit now's. Pretty bare, basic stuff; decompression needle, chest seal, gauze, gloves, and BFG just released a tourniquette "hammock" which attaches to the MTKN. It's small and fits on a MOLLE belt. It's great in case you go down and another responder can crack it open to patch you up.
I just got a G3 breather to use as a BLS bag in my POV as a volunteer. So far it’s not bad as I just got it. I went with the “first aid” cells to organize all my stuff and it’s quite nice. A little big for a BLS bag yes, but it also holds everything we pretty much carry in our BLS bag on our ambulance without it all being stuffed and jammed in. Slightly bigger than the BLS bags we have at the ambulance service I work at which uses the statpack AED pack.
Sam good call for not carrying O2 in your jump bag. Like NS most of our patients dont really need O2 therapy like we thought they did. We carry a separate O2 bag with delivery devices as well.
I have my EMT Cert but I'm a civilian. I have a M3 bag with the compartments labeled "Breathing", "Bleeding", "Broken" and "Tools". This seems to work best for me or anybody that is there to help.
One of the local volunteer fire companies have the Stat Pack system and honestly, compared to my company, it’s really organized, really convenient, and really accessible. Makes life a lot simpler and doesn’t require a crap ton of stuff coming with us onto the scene. I hope our company can switch to it soon!
It’s great to see you on the RUclips trending “creator on the rise” page! I’m especially surprised, considering that you make such videos about preparedness and even firearms (didn’t expect RUclips to promote such a channel). Cool stuff! Never enough learning from you great people
I had a patient shot in the face and neck by a small caliber hand gun. There is NEVER enough 4x4's. I was pretty new at the time, didn't know there would be that much blood from such a small wound. Used an entire box of 4x4s.
Thanks for the shout out, Sam! I was not expecting that! I really appreciate it! We need to find the time to get together and do the collaboration video! Stay Safe, brother!!!
Pues acá ni los bomberos ni los policias traen oxígeno, nosotros necesariamente debemos bajar el tanque de oxígeno a la escena en cada llamada, estaría bien poder ver la configuración de esta mochila llevando oxígeno. Gracias por esta aportación!
I remember learning it as being the first 5 minutes bag. Meaning it should have everything for the first five minutes of patient care. There was a time on a truck during a ridealong when the EMT that was with me forgot to secure the bag and had left it sitting on the jump seat. We hit a speed bump really fast and the bag would have hit our patient in the face but I managed to catch it one handed. The EMT got a talking to about making sure the jump kit is secure from now on from his partner. There’s an agency that I’ve ran with that their stat pack is green so it got nicknamed the ninja turtle pack, because it’s green and you look like a turtle with it on your back. Have you ever weighed a fully packed jump kit to see how heavy it is? I’ve always wondered this.
@@awilson72 he can do whatever he wants. I wish to become a medic someday. I am going on a medic run next week and I am very excited! Let them follow their dreams and don't judge.
Clayton Maiden As a medic let me just say this, ITS A TRAP!!!! for real its a great job, but have a plan b. Cause there are days that really suck. Like really really suck.
Fantastic content as always brother, articulated and educated. Your videos have become a great outside resource for my EMT class and boost my confidence about our upcoming NREMT
It's awesome that your department has video laryngoscopes. Most departments in my area don't have near the budget for them. Most of our laryngoscopes are so janky that we may as well be using a butter knife and a candle 😂
Thank you for your amazing videos! I’m an EMT ( and future paramedic). My service uses the same statpack. It works really well for BLS so it’s cool to see how it’s set up for ALS. Can you please add a link to where one can purchase the yellow carbon monoxide detector on the outside of the statpack? It would definitely be a great addition.
I came here to do some research on something fictional I'm doing research for and, as a writer in Iowa, I was pleasantly surprised to learn you're in Iowa, too?! Neat channel!
Always thought Sam is a fireman😜 Thanks for the vids. Like them. If you ever visit Germany let me know. I show you around. Maybe a shift on German ambulance?
Certainly a different set up (in part) to what we use in Australia. We tend to carry our O2 masks and advanced airway kits in the oxygen therapy kit. My Littmanns get's carried in my cargo pants; I'm not sharing my stethoscope!
The US EMS system is very different to the Australian system. Here's what I consider the main differences. 1. Uniformity. Our ambulance services are owned/run by each respective state/territory government (except W.A. and N.T. who contract out to St. John) rather than each city/town/county having their own service. So we have 8 services in the whole country. We're working at creating a national standard, so that skills, drugs, clinical guidelines and equipment are similar. In Queensland for example (my home state), I can work out of an ambulance at Coolangatta (our most southerly station) one week then at Bamaga (1700 miles north) the next and know the ambulance layout, drugs and equipment will be the same. 2. Here's probably the biggest difference; Funding. The annual QAS budget is about $650m, with 80% coming from the government. The remaining 20% comes from insurance/interstate/foreign users, inter hospital transfers and hiring of QAS for dedicated events (sports, concerts etc.) Queensland residents get free ambulance service Australia wide, but non residents pay. Often medical insurance covers the costs. 3. Logistics. Having an FD turn out to a medical case is extremely rare. Their role is Fire fighting and rescue. In our city of 250K, we have only 4 fire stations (with one crew per station plus a dedicated rescue team), but 5 ambulance stations with anywhere from 7 to 18 crews on shift, depending on time of day. We also have another 15 stations within a 30 mile radius. 4. Training/skills We only basically 2 paramedic levels; Advanced Care and Critical Care. 80% are ACP, with CCPs having more drugs/skills (no EMT/BLS level). Some CCPs are flight paramedics, others are trained in roadside surgery/blood transfusions, REBOA etc. Having a degree in paramedicine is a pre requisite for potential paramedics. With a couple of exceptions, drugs/training/equipment is standard statewide. Only in very remote areas do we have volunteers (who are often RNs from the local health clinic). Most of our inter hospital transfers and transport of non ambulatory patients for appointments etc. are done by our Patient transport crews (non emergency). Cheers
Are services still caring a full arsenal of reusable laryngoscope blades in the go bag now adays- or have people really moved to disposable for the most part?
PrepMedic this is an interesting setup! I personally would ever run this on my truck. We have pelican boxes that have all the contents of those bags in one. Well minus the kingvision (department tested them last year found they were to cost prohibitive and didn’t provide much over the standard) thank you for the videos!
Hey thanks for putting this video together. I really like the Breather bag except for one major flaw. The side that holds your king vision and bougie was complete done half ass. Had they at least put two really well thought out pouches instead of one flimsy netted looking pouch on that side, this would have been a stellar pack. Because of that we had to go to the smaller Load n Go pack. But even thats slightly too small for us. Finally hopefully Iowa has joined 2020 and allowed you guys to do a true life saving surgical cric and that you guys have gotten rid of those archaic King Tubes. Take care and I look forward to more of your VLOGS.
Very interesting approach to deployable kits! Over here in Germany my department uses 5 separate bags tailored for every scenario... If SHTF we are carrying at least the Corpuls3, the suction unit and both backpacks (one for general wound care, diagnostics, iv and medication and the other for everything oxygen related) :D
Have you ever used those needle decompression catheters? I don't think I have ever seen them work. We use Turkle needles on the county trucks and they suck.
PrepMedic I just reread my comment, I meant to say the Turkle needles are great. They have worked bunches. The little ones that you have are the ones I don't like. I work for two different services and just finished a 56 hour shift (between the two). I shouldn't comment on less than 3 hours of sleep ;(
Ive never seen that little device on the bag where it sense whats in the air. Whats that called and what elements can it detect. Id figure chlorine, carbon monoxide. Also holy shit thats one organized dead mans bag, on my clinicals ive looked trough the bag and there was stuff all over the place. With like 1-2 flaps of iv meds. Whats the difference between the CAT tourniquet and regular one. Or is that just a brand?
Having the co detector on the bag you dont always bring vs the bag you always have is a strange choice. We keep them on our radios so they go with us everywhere. Be it a call or coffee 😛
1. because this isn't an "ultimate" kit. 2. because the C collars are not kept with this particular bag 3. Spinal immobilization is a bit less of a priority in this day and age.
@@PrepMedic We use the ktd traction here in Queensland. How come if you guys dont carry pelvic binders but do traction splints, I mean you're more likely to bleed out more from a broken pelvis. If you use an alternative to it, what would you use to treat the fractured pelvis.
Very nice video! Don‘t you have other options than to give NS as an IV fluid? There are a lot of studies showing things like it making acidosis worse, so don‘t you have balanced IV solutions?
With all due respect (at no fault of the frontline workers), the US EMS in many states is way behind other western countries. The main reason Australians have world class services is because the governments invested in each service. Greetings from an Australian paramedic.
I can't tell you-it's a secret. But here's a clue. Q...A...S...!! Best wishes with your journey as a student paramedic "All care, but no responsibility" (just kidding. I always tried to use that line when I was a student. Worked sometimes!!).
Video laryngoscopes? Premade chest seals? Sealed tourniquets? Where do you work? How many jobs do you get per shift? We just make chest seals with tape and whatever we have on hand. Our 800 has 1 tq, it’s probably been used a bunch of times...granted, it’s bls not als.. Here in NYC we usually average 6-8 calls per 8 hour shift. And that’s overnight shift. During the day it gets “busy”...
PrepMedic ohh I gotcha! Well whatever works man, every place is different. I’m still in school myself for an EMT and Fire, and we just carry a full jump with all meds, a suction, and O2 with NRB and BVM. But I know medics have many more drugs and fun stuff y’all can use to save lives. Full respect and I really enjoy the vids, keep working!
Just wondering, what shirt are you wearing? I am looking for a new job shirt and am trying to stay away from 5.11. I love 5.11, but want to try something different.
pjt0720 might be a tad late for you, and I know it doesn’t answer your original question, but I’ve been finding First Tactical makes some decent shirts/jackets
We ran into the city sometimes...they had medic engines...which made life easy. our squad ran power trucks on the ALS side so if we had to jump on a BLS ambulance out in the county, we could still use. the squad as an interceptor for a second call, so we carried double sets of ALS equipment. Joys of being in the suburbs...You guys definitely have great protocols though...and obviously work closely with a bunch of good docs...not quite as good here in PA...I am surprised we don’t still need orders to start an IV...🙄

Higher failure rate, more risk of fracture, less accurate depth insertion, more difficult in neonates.

For the record, I was definitely about to ask about the O2 Haha.
Question, have you guys stared using Ultrasound on call outs?
we carry them on our LifePak 15’s.
Awesome video, what are the brands of the bags ? I m looking to buy EMT/first aid bag and that looks perfect the ones you have
Once I had a seizure and in the jump bag they had an oxygen tank
That's pretty common. Great for first person / crew on scene but I've never liked having my o2 with the rest of my supplies.
He probably has a partner that can run an grab the portable tank and mask/cannulas if he needs it.
