On a daily basis, EMS clinicians utilize pulse oximetry to measure the percentage of hemoglobin bound to oxygen when evaluating respiratory adequacy, But have you ever had a need to measure a patient's carboxyhemoglobin? If you needed to, could you? More importantly, could you apply those readings to implement valuable clinical practice? Lets figure it out together!

In this episode we explore the RAD-57 device to ensure proficiency the next time you encounter a patient who is actively obscuring the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve!

We want to hear from you! For additional information:
