NREMT AEMT

-
Finally! I have in my hands my NREMT certification and my Maine EMS license!
Thank you mail man!

My pretty little certification

Some swag! I don't know what I'm going to put it on. I might get a spring coat and put it on that.

Last but not lease my NREMT card!

My current interest are photography, Youtube videos, and Podcasting. I am working to bui

From the ME EMS Protocols : A. Preperation - Mix NOREPINephrine 8 mg in 250 ml NS.  B. Dosing - Starting Dose is NOREPINephrine 0.03    μg(mcg)/kg/min. Titrate by 0.03  μg(mcg)/kg/min every 3-5 minutes. Usual dose is 0.03-0.25  μg(mcg)/kg/min. Usual max dose is 0.6  μg(mcg)/kg/min. Absolute max dose is 3  μg(mcg)/kg/min C. Titrate to maintain SBP greater than 90 mm Hg. For 2013 the  Medical Direction and Practice Board decided to move away from Dopamine to  Norepinephrine. I am no doctor (yet) but I'm guessing it has to do with some of these studies  ( 2 , 3 ).   A subgroup analysis showed that dopamine, as compared with norepinephrine, was associated with an increased rate of death at 28 days among the 280 patients with cardiogenic shock but not among the 1044 patients with septic shock or the 263 with hypovolemic shock -   Daniel De Backer, M.D., Ph.D., Patrick Biston, M.D., Jacques Devriendt, M.D....  for  the SOAP II Investigators  Medicine is called a practice for a
