Thank you Herman.....a reminder to me not to be so insular!!
In my county and those surrounding it Paramedics give asprin and GTN only before they blue light a casualty to CCU/A&E.
I've just done a google search and some authorities do train their paramedics to give IV clot busters and I was not aware of this. Staffordshire did a trial on it and it's happening now In Scotland......good thing to IMHO due to the remoteness of some area's up there.
Hopefully there are others although I didn't find them
All paramedics should be trained on this IMHO as they carry monitoring equiptment and drugs which could deal with the reperfusion arrythmia's that frequently occur prior to arrival at a specialised unit.....
I've learnt something today so thank you
Aplogies Mods for the bit of thread drift on my part! To try and vaguely get back to it I don't ever see clot busters being given onboard an aircraft.....even by a trained Paramedic/Cardiologist.
