EMS Field Guide, ALS Version
In a paramedic program right now, carry this for reference. Also, look up your state's protocols for EMS providers.
This seems unnecessary...
They make a product that might help you feel more secure in your skills... I used to carry one of these when I first started in EMS, however, I eventually learned that I didn't ever really use it. I eventually ditched the crutch and crossed one more thing off the list as extra weight with no value to my patients.
I did look at it once for the parkland burn formula for a small child with 3 degree burns... I ended up tossing it aside and calling med control who was able to give me the info. I was also able to get additional orders that benefited the patient while on the line with med control.
One thing I will add, however, is the process of making it will probably be much more useful than the actual card itself.
