What's inside your Procar?

what's inside

My combination usually has a gurney with sheets and blanket, ambue bag, a stethoscope, and a small metal first aid kit. I will leave it to the experts to advise me on what else I should or could have in a 1961 model coach.

1976 mobile cardiac critical care

-lifepak 4 or 5
-bird mark 4/7 ventilator: first used as pressure cycled ventilators were less likely to cause pulmonary injury from hyperinflation, of NO value during CPR
-Ohio Hope respirator
-intubation set
-iv supplies
-iv medications: lidocaine, calcium gluconate or chloride, epinephrine, sodium bicarb, atropine, an anti-histamine and morphine
-sl med: nitroglycerin.
 
I would think that it would also be helpful if the folks listing their equipment here also listed what year model of car they are talking about as well, like Ed did. A few years either way sure seems to make a big difference. I like this thread already, thanks for starting it. :myopinion:
 
plastic or glass

Plastic IV bags would be @ 1970-72 for general use. Some one can correct me out there but I would think any paramedic program would have worked with plastic not glass.
 
they tell me that 72 would be the change over year. by 73 glass was out. Tim says 70 to start with. sounds about right 2 years to phase out one system and put in another.
 
Ed, you are right on. Turns out Baxter first released their plastic IV bag in 1970. It would take a year or two to replace glass.
 
It would be easier to say what I don't have in my cars. I will take a stab at it though.
O2,masks, cannulas, oral, nasal airways and either combi tube or EGTA. Rico, Laerdal or both suctions, defibrillator, bio phone, BVM, Demand Valve, Board splints, basket splints, air splints. Bandages and dressings of all sizes, burn sheets, ob kit, blood bourne pathogen kit, c collars, immobilizers, long board, spine boards Kendricks extrication device, hare traction splint. Some cars have MAST Reeves stretcher, scoop and folding stretchers, CPR board, stair chair, jump kit. Portable and some in car mounted b/p cuffs, code clock. Seat belt cutters, one car has a thumper and it goes on and on.............

I know we had glass IV bottles on our medic unit in Maryland when I joined in '80, through about '82. (No, it wasn't just for Nitro drips.) I didn't do it, but someone else on a call with me dropped one and broke it.
 
Lets take a quick peek in the back of my 73 M-M combo shall we!:toocool:

Ops....

Someone else sent me a PM saying that was Jeremy's girl friend walking behind the car, and that he was going to be upset. Let me make this perfectly clear, I was talking about the pink thing in the car.
Jeremy, where have you been hiding this lady all these years?? Inquiring minds need to know!!! :angel:
