Penetrating injuries proximal to elbow and knee, two or more proximal long bone fractures, open or depressed skull fractures, and paralysis are examples of injuries requiring transport to which type of hospital?

The Head tilt-Chin lift
When this number of units are out on calls, the remaining units are to report to staging per LCEMS guidelines.
3
Given only in a drip over 10 minutes, this medication effects the clotting cascade and can assist in treating the hypovolemic patient, although we need to see that hypotension or tachycardia!

Which chronic Cardiac Rhythm is referred to as "Irregularly Irregular" that can also increase the chances of stroke and heart attack?
Atrial Fibrillation

"C and E" Technique
How much time is suggested to remain on scene, at maximum, for calls such as stroke, STEMI, severe traumas?
10 minutes
This medication can be considered for COPD/Asthma patients, though we may not see the effects immediately due to long onset of action.
Solu-Medrol
On a 12-lead, in conjunction with symptoms this measurement of ST-Segment elevation in two contiguous leads suggests possible MI.
1 MM
With our geographical location, this type of request for traumatic injury assistance may not be needed, unless a patient is "trapped" for at least 20 minutes.
Air Transport (Vidant Air)
When intubating a patient that has fluid in the lungs this device can help better ventilate against that extra pressure.
Peep Valve

During your secondary assessment you note blood coming from the ear canal of a head injury patient that looks to be thin. What type of test should be performed with this blood specifically?
"Halo" test (Cerebrospinal Spinal Fluid Test)

You are working on a Paramedic and Basic/Intermediate unit, and your patient's airway is deteriorating rapidly. What operational moved would you consider early on during this call?
Calling for secondary unit/ supervisor for second Paramedic for RSI
