Re: aed scope of practice question

[Guest guest]

what does everyone think about this? i work in a

hospital as a tech. i'm a paramedic. if i take a

patient upstairs to a room on a monitor (LP 20) and

they arrest on the way, in the elevator,etc i'm not

" allowed " to use the AED function to " search for and

treat v-fib " . the security guards at the hospital

are allowed to use their " standalone " AED.

should i

1) place the pads and hit " analzye " and follow the

instructions?

2) call the security guard and have him bring his AED?

3) let them get (more) dead?

Unfortunately forgiveness is not in everyone.

Marisa Stroup, Paramedic-- " May God watch over me and work through me to keep

those patients' alive that I care for, and may he give me peace when he decides

to take one that I try to keep here. "
