When in need for emergency reference there is only one place to turn to


This is a handy little device I always carry around with me, it’s called the Pedi-Wheel and it’s a convenient pocket reference tool that actually puts the most vital pediatric data at my fingertips. All the information I need in order to successfully perform during a pediatric emergency is on this sturdy reference guide.

How does it work? Well, I turn the dial to point on my patient’s age on one side and I get tons of helpful information such as: average weight, blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, suggested sizes for ET tubes and laryngoscope blades, as well as the average length of a properly inserted ET tube at the teeth or gum line.

On the other side I can choose the patient’s weight and quickly find all sorts of pre-calculated doses including: Adenosine, Atropine, Bretylium, Diazepam, Epinephrine, Lidocaine and Narcan.

This full-color, water-resistant wheel fits right in my pocket and available online at www.DixieEMS.com Read More!

Venipuncture and Injection Training Arm. Feels real - right down to the fingerprint

I remember that back in the day, when my wife was a training paramedic, she used to come back home with blue arms and swollen veins. Everyone thought she was being abused… well, she was sort of. You see, the students had to practice venipuncture on each other, and it takes some time until you know how to find a vein.

But today, when my wife teaches her students, she uses an injection training arm. It’s simple and easy to use and it’s the ideal way to teach venipuncture and injection techniques without taking unnecessary risks. Before the training arm, you had to find willing volunteers (!) but now you can avoid patient injury and liability, while the students are learning new procedures.
She brought one of these back home, she always wanted to teach me her stuff and man this thing feels real – right down the fingerprint! The skin actually rolls as you palpate the vein and the characteristic “pop” can be felt as the needle penetrates the vein. Augh…

Everything you need for Casualty Simulation

Being ready for emergency is always important in any given setting. Training in basic emergency and first-aid can be crucial for military and official personnel or even civilian training in the neighborhood or factory.

Dealing with emergencies can be much more efficient if people are knowledgeable and properly trained to assist their co-workers, friends and family. Experts believe that while teaching basic first-aid, realism is very important. When people know what to expect, they can function better in time of need and one way to achieve realism is by using mannequins and make-up.




The Simulaids Basic Casualty Simulation Kit is the most economical way to get started in simulated injuries. Re-usable wounds and refillable accessories let you practice bandaging and splinting techniques repeatedly. It includes wounds such as compound fracture Tibia and 12 assorted stick-on lacerations and open fractures as well as coagulant makeup blood, casualty simulation wax, 2 wood tongue depressors and much more accessories.

The Multiple Casualty Simulation Kit is more versatile than the basic kit. This unit gives you more complex wounds for testing higher levels of skill in bandaging and patient care, while keeping initial expenditures low. The kit comes in a heavy duty plastic tool box with a lift out tray for your convenience.
