Ubiq -“I still dont get it. so they both get EKG’s so wether you suspect heart attack or not doesnt really matter.”

It sounds like you’re in the medical field – what’s your degree in? Are you involved in EMS? Whether is with a “h”.

“ITs not like either case is having troponins drawn in the field or are they?”

They could be, but I don’t know of any EMS org. that actually does it!

“Do you only check fingerstick with one vehicle?

If the driver has pinpoint pupils, barely breathing would you only give narcan if only one vehicle was involved?”

If there was AMS you’d give narcan with one vehicle, even if the pt. had normal breathing and normal pupils!

“In what way is the managment different?”

See above.
