Once you arrive on scene, it is your choice whether or not to ride in the back of a Navy ambulance instead. You should verify that all necessary equipment and personnel are available prior to canceling the trucks. Personal vehicles on the interstate Do not respond to cases on the interstate in your personal vehicles. You are placing yourself and your vehicle at risk parking on the interstate. You are also likely to have your vehicle towed.
Some cardiac patients take oral amiodarone.
Since amiodarone stays in the system so long, these patients could become toxic with additional doses. If one of these patients is in cardiac arrest, consider contacting medical control for guidance on use of lidocaine vs. amiodarone. Cellular Phone Etiquette Please refrain from talking on the cell phone while on a call. Imagine what you would think if you were being served in a restaurant and the waiter answered a phone while taking your order. In the event that the in-house response team uses their AED, a report will be provided to the transporting crew.
