    Great scenarios.

    EMS protocol test

    (1) R/o Status Asthmaticus. V/s, Assessment (Adult), O2 via NC @ 6 lpm, Albuterol via SVN (2.5 mg), EKG, INT, Repeat Albuterol as neccesary to increase SpO2 to 95% or better. Atrovent may considered as alternative nebulized therapy. Solu-medrol may be considered if nebulized meds don’t achieve desired effect (125 mg IV).
    (2) R/o Pre-Eclampsia. V/s. Assessment (Adult), IV (NS 1000 ml), Mg2So4 drip (after consulation with medical control – 37 week gestation is a little late to support the diagnosis)

    That’s as far as I got before catching a transport to Piedmont. I’ll work on it some more next time I’m here.
    Gary.
