Los Angeles ambulance crews told not to transport patients who stand little chance of survival

Which is the sole reason I see cuomo sticking infected patients in nursing homes.

That's easy....if one dies of the flu it is recorded as Covid....biggest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people. We are constantly told by Democrat governors and mayors how dangerous it is to go outside of our homes while they are feasting in foreign countries!!!

So I was watching Salty Cracker on YouTube the other day and he and a friend drove to look at three separate hospitals in the area. They all have vivid triage set up. He reported the hospitals were practically deserted.

You’re pretty funny. It amazes me that you would even think that an arrest in the field would have the same access to treatments as one in the ED.

[FoxInSocks]

See the ACLS guidelines.

What will they do in an ED to treat cardiac arrest that won’t be done prehospital?

[minnesota_bound]

You are on a death list here in Los Angeles now.

Supposedly due to the shortage of bed because of the chinese virus.
Plus no oxygen either after all these months of a democratic party lockdown of free people that they did not prepare.

You can bet they will expand the requirement and any patient will be treated like they do in socialist countries. How much money can we make for our bonus if we have people on a death list.

The NHS will do what they have always done and kill the patient so they can make higher bonus money for themselves.

Google: Liverpool Care Pathway, daily mail
125,000+ people per year killed.

Ems tried to resuscitate my husband, then transported him to the hospital where he was declared dead after further attempts.

[MarMema]

What happens in the ER is way beyond ACLS. Medics start ACLS to get the patient a better outcome when they get to the ED. In the ED they can do rapid sequence intubation/LMA/cricothyroidotomy/video laryngoscopy, chest tubes, thoracostomy, CV cath placement, pericardiocentesis, thoracotomy, TC pacing, anything open chest/cardiac massage, the last try of solumedrol, etc...
in New York they cover pts with ice.
Also probably not a cardiac Cath lab available in the field, so if you do get a turnaround you can act on a blockage.

[FoxInSocks]

In terms of cardiac arrest, an ER simply is not “way beyond ACLS.” What truly has been shown to work is quality CPR and early defibrillation.

I think you’re underestimating the current prehospital EMS scope of practice. Paramedics can have RSI, video laryngoscopy, ultrasound, LMA and other supraglottic airways, cricothyrotomy, needle decompression, defibrillation, pacing, cardioversion, etc. Thoracostomy and cardiac massage are unlikely to be indicated in the situations we’re discussing here. There’s not a cath lab in the ED either.

[MarMema]

Well duh. No kidding. But in medium to larger hospitals the Cath lab is a heck of a lot closer than it is to the field.

I have a reading suggestion for you.

The first chapter alone should help you understand the difference between the field and the ED.
Also not every county has a paramedic available.
And some have none.
