@lordice123 Do what is best for the patient. Forget CYA.
Swelling can wait. Temperature control can wait. Low BP can wait as long as sufficient perfusion is occuring.
This patient is talking appropriately.
-
@robertgift but of course, when it comes down to it, follow your local protocol to cover your ass, and you do what you think is best for your patient
-
@robertgift "especially when there is no need to rush a vulnerable spinal cord patient.", thats where we disagree, couldn't imagine calling in a radio report to a trauma hospital saying "code 2 notification" instead of code 3 for such an injury, measures by the hospital including control of the swelling need to be taken immediately, and lets not forget, the spinal cord injury could be cutting off major functions, including loss of temperature control, low BP or even stop breathing 4 c-fractures

@lordice123 Driving with care and due regard will minimize a collision, but even less risky is driving routine, especially when there is no need to rush a vulnerable spinal cord patient.
-
@robertgift i dont believe that, driving with due regard and being careful can minimize that, otherwise that would be the same thing as saying you dont drive code for anyone that is in cspine precautions
-
@robertgift yeah exactly lol

@rc8rsracer "Blacked out" IS brain damage. Often it is minor and the brain heals.
But never take blacking out lightly. Always go to a hospital and get checked if you are knocked enough to black out.
Sorry about your extremely expensive helluvacopteride. Likely not justified. Could have used an ambulance driving normally. But helicopters love to generate huge bills.

If we are running cold and we DO get into an accident it would be A LOT worse for us. We try to get the patient to the hospital immediately so they are able to control swelling and reduce spinal pressure at the hospital. Hitting a bump or curb at ANY speed isn't great for spinal compromise... we try to avoid those!
-
Wow that was harsh. How professional, call patients fuckwads. I'm an EMT but I never once thought ill of my patients!

You don't run emergent (red lights and siren) for a suspected broken back.
If a mishap (collision) or even hitting a bump or curb with the ambulance, his intact but very vulnerable spinal cord could be damaged.
