2:40-3:40  You Have Been Subpoenaed – The Importance of Documentation , Gary Steindorf

2:40-3:40 Basic Pharmacology, Nancy Shantel  

Let's discuss pharmacology! We'll discuss the medications that BLS providers can administer  and assist with and should be familiar with in assisting ALS providers. We'll go beyond knowing  the protocol and discuss how medications work and why indications and contraindications  matter.  

3:45-5:00 Patient Packaging Nancy Shantel  

We've come far from "backboarding" every patient! We'll discuss packaging patients, why  considering mechanism matters, and the different tools and options to provide the most  appropriate care for our injured patients.  

3:45-5:00 EtCO2 -Physiology of Metabolism- Frank Ehrmantraut

This class will dive deep into the crucial role EtCO2 plays in patient assessment and how we can use this tool to positively impact patient outcomes.
