DL and ET tube skills are listed under the NREMT-B Skills. Your state or local protocols may not allow you to practice these skills, but they ARE BASIC NREMT SKILLS! Most EMT-B text Books even dedicate a chapter or appendix to advanced airway management, but still students say, "Intubation is not in my scope of practice". You are welcome to argue with the NREMT about this.

P.S. Dr.S /buttcole, If I said the air is a solid...I am sure someone will take me seriously and start youtube fights..lol

1 BBF and CPP are related; when P fals so does F. Have U studied phisics?
2 Hypvent doesn't increase ICP. as U said
3 Me gustaría ver que escribas en español sin un solo error

hyperventilating a patient with TBI can kill due to it´s effect on brain blood flow (BBF), thats for sure; in other hand, hyperventilation does not increase ICP as you said erlyer.
Now, we are not talking about hyperventilating for long periods, only prior to ETI (30 to 45 sec): if U hyperventilate for les than one minute you won´t put down BBF enough, and if U R carefull with the presure used, U won´t cause a pneumothorax either. Hyperventilation is a safe way to hyperoxigenate before RSETI

RSETI = Rapid Sequence Endo Traqueal Intubation
And i know it doesn´t matter if you are not bilingual... but also know that you shouldn´t say "i find it hard to believe that you study medicine, you cant even spell hyperventilation or frequence right". Just because i have trouble with some words in your languaje it doesn´t mean that i didn´t study medicine and a madical speciality.
Greetings.

i still do find it hard to believe you can go through school especially med school and mispell every other word.
DrSkawman (June 30, 2008 at 4:40 am)
Bueno ¿qué te parece si escribimos los dos en español? A ver cuantos errores cometes tú... ;)

(Well, how about if both write in spanish? Let's see how many mistakes you have... ;)
DrSkawman (June 30, 2008 at 5:04 am)
Misspell... Misspell... I'm Mexican, I can have mistakes when using english... but U? Writing wrong when U R trying to criticize my writing?

i dont care what you say, hyperventilation is bad in patients plain and simple you can try and persuade me but its not going to work, i know hyperventilation can affect CPP or cerebral perfusion pressure, and how generic does BBF sound, it sounds like you made that up, i agree with HYPEROXYGENATION patiens but not hyperventilating before RSI

1.- BBF and CPP are related; when CPP fals so does BBF (BBF, aka CBF, Cerebral Blood Flow). Haven't U studied phisics? It's hard to understand that an EMT doesn't know this. ¿are U sure U passed all UR exams?
2.- Hypvent doesn't increase ICP. as U said in UR first messages... Every body knows this.
3.- If U want to discuss medicine, please, go to College first.
DrSkawman (June 30, 2008 at 5:05 am)
And I didn´t "made it up". BBF (or CBF; Cerebral Blood Flow) was described ages ago. Maybe is´s useless to discuss medicine with U.
