Paramedic Jump Bag

[@DrAdnan]

As a med student, it’s cool seeing the paramedic side of things. Great videos!

[@InformalGreeting]

Depending on your specialty you may have the opportunity to ride with EMS during residency. Some EM programs insist you do it. If you have a chance you should do it. My wife is an internist and did a ride along with a crew a couple months ago. Said seeing patients as they are found before paramedics and then the emergency docs tune them up before she accepts admits has really opened her eyes to some things.

[@DrAdnan]

Excellent video for the large medic bags. Some of our security forces airmen have blue force gear micro trauma kit now's. Pretty bare, basic stuff; decompression needle, chest seal, gauze, gloves, and BFG just released a tourniquette "hammock" which attaches to the MTKN. It's small and fits on a MOLLE belt. It's great in case you go down and another responder can crack it open to patch you up.

[@znovosad555]

I just got a G3 breather to use as a BLS bag in my POV as a volunteer. So far it’s not bad as I just got it. I went with the “first aid” cells to organize all my stuff and it’s quite nice. A little big for a BLS bag yes, but it also holds everything we pretty much carry in our BLS bag on our ambulance without it all being stuffed and jammed in. Slightly bigger than the BLS bags we have at the ambulance service I work at which uses the statpack AED pack.

[@Mogwai-user]

From the name of the video I thought this was going to be a parachute paramedic bag.

[@kendallrussell5969]

I remember learning it as being the first 5 minutes bag. Meaning it should have everything for the first five minutes of patient care. There was a time on a truck during a ridealong when the EMT that was with me forgot to secure the bag and had left it sitting on the jump seat. We hit a speed bump really fast and the bag would have hit our patient in the face but I managed to catch it one handed. The EMT got a talking to about making sure the jump kit is secure from now on from his partner. There’s an agency that I’ve ran with that their stat pack is green so it got nicknamed the ninja turtle pack, because it’s green and you look like a turtle with it on your back. Have you ever weighed a fully packed jump kit to see how heavy it is? I’ve always wondered this.

[@DigitalAndInnovation]

Are services still caring a full arsenal of reusable laryngoscope blades in the go bag now adays- or have people really moved to disposable for the most part?

[@bobwilliams2679]

Thank you for your amazing videos! I’m an EMT ( and future paramedic). My service uses the same statpack. It works really well for BLS so it’s cool to see how it’s set up for ALS. Can you please add a link to where one can purchase the yellow carbon monoxide detector on the outside of the statpack? It would definitely be a great addition.

Ive never seen that little device on the bag where it sense whats in the air. Whats that called and what elements can it detect. Id figure chlorine, carbon monoxide. Also holy shit thats one organized dead mans bag, on my clinicals ive looked trough the bag and there was stuff all over the place. With like 1-2 flaps of iv meds. Whats the difference between the CAT tourniquet and regular one. Or is that just a brand?

[@ProBlamer]

Very interesting approach to deployable kits! Over here in Germany my department uses 5 separate bags tailored for every scenario... If SHTF we are carrying at least the Corpuls3, the suction unit and both backpacks (one for general wound care, diagnostics, iv and medication and the other for everything oxygen related) :D

What is the item names/ numbers of the blue ALS bag and inserts? I would like to get a bag very similar.

[@fireguy5733]

Where did you get the EZIO bag from with the holder for the drill, cant find it anywhere?

[@coover65]

Certainly a different set up (in part) to what we use in Australia. We tend to carry our O2 masks and advanced airway kits in the oxygen therapy kit. My Littmanns get's carried in my cargo pants; I'm not sharing my stethoscope!

[@coover65]

The US EMS system is very different to the Australian system. Here's what I consider the main differences. 1. Uniformity. Our ambulance services are owned/run by each respective state/territory government (except W.A. and N.T. who contract out to St. John) rather than each city/town/county having their own service. So we have 8 services in the whole country. We're working at creating a national standard, so that skills, drugs, clinical guidelines and equipment are similar. In Queensland for example (my home state), I can work out of an ambulance at Coolangatta (our most southerly station) one week then at Bamaga (1700 miles north) the next and know the ambulance layout, drugs and equipment will be the same. 2. Here's probably the biggest difference; Funding. The annual QAS budget is about $650m, with 80% coming from the government. The remaining 20% comes from insurance/interstate/foreign users, inter hospital transfers and hiring of QAS for dedicated events (sports, concerts etc.) Queensland residents get free ambulance service Australia wide, but non residents pay. Often medical insurance covers the costs. 3. Logistics. Having an FD turn out to a medical case is extremely rare. Their role is Fire fighting and rescue. In our city of 250K, we have only 4 fire stations (with one crew per station plus a dedicated rescue team), but 5 ambulance stations with anywhere from 7 to 18 crews on shift, depending on time of day. We also have another 15 stations within a 30 mile radius. 4. Training/skills We only basically 2 paramedic levels; Advanced Care and Critical Care. 80% are ACP, with CCPs having more drugs/skills (no EMT/BLS level). Some CCPs are flight paramedics, others are trained in roadside surgery/blood transfusions, REBOA etc. Having a degree in paramedicine is a pre requisite for potential paramedics. With a couple of exceptions, drugs/training/equipment is standard statewide. Only in very remote areas do we have volunteers (who are often RNs from the local health clinic). Most of our inter hospital transfers and transport of non ambulatory patients for appointments etc. are done by our Patient transport crews (non emergency). Cheers

Hey thanks for putting this video together. I really like the Breather bag except for one major flaw. The side that holds your king vision and bougie was complete done half ass. Had they at least put two really well thought out pouches instead of one flimsy netted looking pouch on that side, this would have been a stellar pack. Because of that we had to go to the smaller Load n Go pack. But even thats slightly too small for us. Finally hopefully Iowa has joined 2020 and allowed you guys to do a true life saving surgical cric and that you guys have gotten rid of those archaic King Tubes. Take care and I look forward to more of your VLOGS.
