Hi guys,

We are studying a trauma case at my school right now, and I am required to present on Paramedic-hospital radio communication. So basically I was just wondering if any of you guys could give me a rundown on the important info that is tranmitted from the paramedics while they are en route (in particular for a trauma patient involved in a traffic collision).

Thanks

They never really listen anyway so just make a bunch of crap up. M72 in route with a 14 y/o gorilla that is constipated from a diet of bannanas. 5 ETA, any ?'s

Does that gorilla have bowel sounds?

...and do you have full BSI precautions in place?

(Nobody sort of needs a face shield, I've found. Just a little bit of gorilla poo turns out to be a great deal too much.)
