I'm a Paramedic in New York State. In Pts with COPD medics use the pulse ox. Well the Answer to this question is treat the pt not the monitor. if you treat the pt for example, Is the pt having difficulty breathing, is the pt cyanotic, what do the lungs sound like. I was told even if the pt has COPD and is having trouble breathing you use high flow oxygen. --- MjrFIDO 3.25 * Origin: *** Cyber-Quest Online Services *** (1:260/755) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 197 EMERGENCY Ref: E1S00000 Date: 01/21/97 From: ROLAND DOEPPER Time: 09:31am \/To: MATT CAIRNES (Read 0 times) Subj: RE:Ping Hello Matt, MC> i read you,loud & clear in this area oh, that's great, thank's a lot.

The Pulse Ox is only one tool, and although accurate as far as what it measures, what that measurement means can and does vary. If you have two different patients each with a O2 sat of 90%, one can be okay, and the other can be in dire straights. The best use of the Pulse Ox that I have found is to put it on a patient and leave it in the constant monitor mode. That CAN help tell you if the patient is getting better, but even still is no substitute for good clinical skills.

Larry, it's not so much that the protocols differ, although they do to some extent. The fact is there are more differences in exactly what paramedics are allowed to do, and how much they are allowed to do under standing orders as opposed to having to contact medical control. Some systems have very liberal standing orders, others require medical control for the most basic procedures. Why? I think a lot of it depends on what the state regulators and/or the local medical directors feel the paramedics are capable of. So, it is not a matter of anatomy or physiology differing from state to state, as it is a matter of politics varying from state to state. BTW, who is Lillian Ackley, and why are you using her account? Gary CMPQwk 1.42 129 Vegetarians eat vegetables-Beware of humanitarians --- Silver Xpress Mail System 5.4P1a * Origin: 6-200 (1:101/460)
