Toradol on the ambulance

Toradol was placed onto the ambulances yesterday. 1 vial is placed in the IV net located with the Zofran and 3 vials were placed into the bumble bee bag. The updated pain management protocol is available on the Merced County Protocol app and available on Merced EMS protocol page. Remember that the adult dose is 15 mg IV or 30 mg IM/IN & peds dose is 0.5 mg/kg with a max dose of 15 mg. If you have any questions please ask. Dave Murphy

Viral filters now in stock

The viral filters have arrived and are being placed on the ambulances. Each ambulance will be stocked with 2 viral filters, 1 in the jumbag stored with the i gels and a restock in the bin which has the OPA's and NPA's. Please utilize these filters when the need to ventilate a patient arises. To use the filter just place the filter between the face mask, i gel or ETT and then put on the ETCO2 detector.If you have any questions please ask. Keep doing the great work that you have been giving to our patients on a daily basis. I am proud to say that I work with the best EMS team over my 30 years in EMS. Dave Murphy
