..interesting thread.

.....no extra skills actually required for a UK Paramedic to RSI........

They can already intubate (any cas with a GCS of less than 8) and cannulation (for drug introduction) is a routine skill.

So no extra skills training required ......just the ("god-like" doctor) authority to paralyse somebody by using the additional drugs.

ps....there is no actual limit on amount of morphine a UK Paramedic can administer.

pps... just read the previous post.......spot on!
