Uh...no. Ambulances do not have “hundreds” of different medications on them, despite your assertion. And over the decades I’ve seen many cardiac arrest victims brought in being ventilated by BVM’s because...for whatever reason, or reasons...the paramedics were unable to intubate the patient in the field. And in every instance, we were able to intubate the patient in the ER. I’ve also seen, too many times, patients brought in with ETT’s in the esophagus instead of in the trachea. Again, not bangin’ on EMS...as I’ve been very involved with it for a long time. But a paramedic is not an ERMD. And the back of an ambulance is not an ER.
