When a gruesome injury happens ....

Can they give the kid a shot for pain out there on the field? I hope so. I don't know how that poor kid didn't pass out.

Not going to watch it, but was it a clean tackle or one of these where the defender starts rolling the players lower body like an alligator.

I know that in ten years, I rarely saw nacrs pushed to patients with traumatic injury while on scene and even during transport. First, a doctor has to give approval for the use, which would be after a patient assessment usually en route. Also, pain killers interfere with feedback from patient, that is used in diagnosing and treatment.

Maybe things have changed but I’ve been a critical care nurse

with the Charlotte flight transport team now for 4 years and we push narcs when we see fit and ask questions later. He’s be getting some fentanyl or morphine when he got into the tunnel. Pain management is something we don’t fool around with. We get asked more often than not when we DONT give meds for pain.

I guess that depends on your definition of transport?

I would expect a nurse on critical care transport to have different protocols than emergency responders. My time was spent as a firefighter landing the birds, and I can tell you that the priority for the patients that you receive is stabilization. In fact, unstable patients are not supposed to be flown out. For the most part, there's little time to consider a parent's level of pain after extrication, packaging and loading for transport into the responding unit, multiple iv lines, possibly intubating ect. This all takes time, thus the "golden hour."
Back to the op, if drugs are pushed it's not going to happen on initial contact.

Yes, we work under the license of our medical director.

We have an extensive library of protocols and procedures we are continuously heavily tested on. We are all considered “first responders”, but I’m sure firefighters have a different set of protocols and priorities than we do.
But anyway, I’m pretty sure that after they splinted his leg they quickly established an IV and gave him something for pain.

Back in the day (13 yrs ago) when I was a paramedic we gave narcs for some injuries. I doubt he got any on the field though.

Miss St QB got tackled on a run and came out of it with his foot facing the wrong direction. Nothing dirty, just one of those freak things. He grabbed his leg like ###?

I’ve had a traumatic injury and from my experience, my body went into shock and I really didn’t experience the pain one might imagine. Later on it was a different story, and I am talking a matter of hours, not minutes
