Need to ask a few questions from paramedics
Hello, I am an engineering student and am currently working on a project, its purpose is to make something to help paramedics however I dont know what you guys struggle with on a day to day so I had a few questions (pls feel free to dm me if you have more info).
do you guys struggle to find veins in the dark or in situations where the patient is panicking? is there any device in your field that has solved this issue? i am aware of infrared vein sensors but is there any you can use in ur work?
do you struggle to find items in your bag? do you carry every emergency thing and have to throw everything out when looking for something?
is it very (and i mean like actual serious problem) difficult when theres only one person available and you have to use a BVM? does a one person bvm technique have a high rate of failure?
does documentation cause issues? like having to stop treating the patient and then documenting the case? or do you use voice commands, if you use voice commands do they falter? if not voice commands do you use another person?
is there issues with mylar blankets flying away?
do you face issues in information being lost or miscommunication when handing off patients to the ER?
thank you so much and please let me know whats a huge issue you all consistently struggle with. and thank you for serving the community i love you guys ❤️
