J
SCSA EMT-ILS people,
we are
temporarily using 15 drip IV solution sets, they are marked, remember they
flow slower. The regular 10 drip
sets will be back in stock the middle of next week.
From the office staff;
Paper work has
improved immensely! Cleaning and
restocking the vehicles after runs is on a downward slide.
Please remember to clean up garbage in the cab and the patient
compartment and restock supplies after each run.
Replacing oxygen
bottles; please
replace the bottles when they reach
600lbs small tanks and 800 lbs
large tanks. Please check
the gaskets by turning the tanks on then back off after changing to listen
for leaks.
Thank you for
volunteering with your local EMS Agencies.
Bill Beusan
Coordinator, SCSA
