Lyrics:

You think I'm messy
Without any nitrile on
You think I'm sexy
When I tell the dispatch wrong
I know you backed me
So I let my calls come down
Down...

Before you met him
He was not right
His chest was kinda heavy
You brought him to life
For every coronary
You'll be his E.M.T.
E.M.T...

Let's code all the way tonight
No regrets, just push
We can code 'til he survives
You and I
We'll go code together

You make me
Feel like
I'm living an ER Dream
The way you push meds in
I can't chart
Let's pace away and put on the CPAP
Put on the CPAP

My heart stops
When you defib me
Just one touch
My medic I believe
Is that stool
So take a chance and put on the CPAP
Put on the CPAP

We drove to County
And got drunk on the bleach
Got some Purell and
Started all the run sheets
I finally found you
My missing click top pen
Run complete

Let's code all the way tonight
No regrets, just push
We can code 'til he survives
You and I
We'll go code together

You make me
Feel like
I'm living an ER Dream
The way you push meds in
I can't chart
Let's pace away and put on the CPAP
Put on the CPAP

My heart stops
When you defib me
Just one touch
Now medic I believe
Is that stool
So take a chance and put on the CPAP
Put on the CPAP

I might get your heart racing
With my atropine
Be the E.M.T. tonight
Let you put your hands on him
Push down hard and fast
Be the E.M.T. tonight
Tonight, tonight ,tonight,
Tonight, tonight, tonight

Yoooouuu...
You make me
Feel like
I'm living an ER Dream
The way you push meds in
I can't chart
Let's pace away and put on the CPAP
Put on the CPAP
No...

My heart stops
When you defib me
Just one touch
Now medic I believe
Is that stool
So take a chance and put on the CPAP
Put on the CPAP

I might get your heart racing
With my atropine
Be the E.M.T. tonight
Let you put your hands on him
Push down hard and fast
Be the E.M.T. tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight,
Tonight, tonight, tonight

@emsdream2011, actually morphine has been taken out of the CHF protocols for AHA. It shows that patients in CHF who were given morphine had a predictably poor clinical outcome.

[emsdream2011]

@ron6081 Thanks for the comment! Keep in mind we are referring to our county protocol which the county's medical director writes - it may thus differ from ECC guidelines. Incidentally, although some studies show an association of increased need for mechanical ventilation/risk of death, AHA ECC Guidelines 2010 does not provide guidance on the use of morphine in the setting of acute pulmonary edema, nor has the AHA actually made a formal position removing its use in ACC/AHA joint statements.

Emsdream: what are your state/local protocols for CPAP?

[emsdream2011]

@ffmhc62 CPAP is an ALS level skill. It is primarily indicated for Adult Acute Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema, along with standard medication therapy (i.e. nitroglycerin, morphine and furosemide...the latter being appropriate only if the patient is already on diuretics.) The only approved CPAP device in the County is the Boussignac CPAP at this time (helps the on scene FF medics restock with the ambulance crews.)

[freshhh723]

whoaaa, i know you didnt just put a nrb on 25L

[emsdream2011]

@freshhh723 Hi there, thanks for the comment. The 25 lpm is actually for our county's required CPAP device. When set to 25 lpm it provides up to 10 cm H20 of pressure. The actual device is called the Boussignac CPAP system if you want to google it.
