Heck yea but our paramedics very rarely do. They very rarely do anything.

SquanderedSquadGod :
I also think medical directors need to get rid of this “I am god attitude” because there is a lack of education they take stuff out of the protocol.

I think the issue isn’t so much of gate keeping, but rather I need to see what’s going on when they come in rather than just trusting what they say

Do you have a min requirement for the number of annual intubations? What is your suggested benchmark for First Pass Success?

yes because most nurses and doctor's can't do it in the ER.

It all comes down to everyone wanting to dumb protocol down to the lowest common denominator, instead of training those people up

Paramedics are usually more proficient with intubation, they do it more. 31 yrs as a nurse and I suck at placing IV’s. We always had an IV team🤷🏼♀️

OneLegWonderwoman :
I guess I wasn’t aware that saving a life was optional for paramedics. And since a patient’s airway could mean the difference between life or death you would think it’s a non negotiable. All for it!

Michelle Humphrey :
Yes! They need training, practice, review, and they always need an out..and to know that back up airways are not a failure on their part!!!

In other words an involved medical director not someone who shows up once a year to sign 222 forms

Huckleberry :
Yes, secure the airway. As long as they're breathing, I can fix it when they get here. Pull it back, tube change, whatever. Just keep them breathing.

Jack :
I always tell my students before an intubation, they need to check their ego and have a back up/ or 2 ready. Some tubes will be failures, but it’s-

Yes, EMT-P's should be allowed to continue to utilize their pre-hospital intubation skills.

As a level 1 trauma center tech, if they have the skills, extends training, and equipment I say it’s 100% appropriate

Is this a serious question? Of course they should.

In a rural hospital it is rare they we intubate. Love love love the flight crews!

We know what leads to high success rates: training and technique. Bougies, VGL, and SALAD are proven to improve success rates.

Lacey Haney :
Absolutely agree 💯 I've worked at facilities that didn't allow their trucks to intubate, so everyone came in with I-gels. Unnecessary extra step imo

Totally agree. If a patient is truly in need could mean difference in life and death or brain damage or not. I always appreciate EMS as a nurse. 👍👍

RT here… yes they should.. it will save lives… I can’t intubate at my hospital bc anesthesia does as we are a teaching hospital..

Doc Rigel :
Of course, any skill in the tool box is just more potential for patient impact. Knowledge of when and when not is also important.

I will never understand the desire to remove an airway management skill from qualified pre-hospital providers.

Javi_lotion :
I’m the end, it’s all about money. The doctors can’t bill for intubating so the hospitals and EM companies loose out on it. That’s the main reason

Love your view on it. Another topic prehospital RSI. I am a fan of it but I don’t think everyone should do it. (Some people are too happy with it)

Haven’t worked a truck in many years, but let’s broaden our scope of practice, not restrict it. Certainly in rural communities.

I flew for 4 years & we had to intubate when the patient was simply unstable mentally or etoh was too high & they fought us.
