Open Airways: Stories from the back of the ambulance
Be Consistent
George Perry
“We got to the ambulance thinking it was going to be a typical sick person trip to the hospital. We went ahead and started the typical procedure … we put her on the monitor. And the monitor showed a sinus rhythm. Well, sinus, but about 210. It went up to 250 as we were sitting there watching.” George Perry discusses the importance of using consistent procedures during patient care and communication with the hospital.
Open Airways is a project to capture an oral history for the benefit of the EMS Community. EMS responders share some of the most meaningful cases of their careers, sometimes with humor and always with compassion. We hope that they will help us improve your practice and inspire a new generation of caregivers.
