Broselow Tape Safety Alert

Certain AirLife Broselow Rainbow Tapes (Revision 3, 36-23446) contain incorrect medication doses, listing vecuronium 0.1 mg/ml instead of the correct 0.1 mg/kg dose and flumazenil as 0.1mg/kg rather than the correct 0.01 mg/kg dose. These errors involve high-risk medications and could lead to dangerous tenfold overdoses, including neuromuscular blockade complications or increased seizure risk with flumazenil. Organizations using this tape should immediately assess their supplies, implement risk-mitigation strategies, and educate staff about the error.

We had a blast with the fine folks of the Southwest Regional Emergency & Trauma Advisory Council (SWRETAC)! Thanks to Dove Creek Ambulance District, Southwest Health System, Rico Fire Protection District for teaming up at our one day PECC seminar in Cortez!

We CARE about PEDIATRICS!

Last month, Dove Creek Ambulance District attended a PECC (Pediatric Emergency Care Coordinator) class in Cortez. This one day training allowed our providers to focus on pediatric emergency care and come back to the district advocating for care and training related to kiddos.

Dolores County providers made up 50% of the class in Cortez!

From Dove Creek Ambulance District was Chief Damiond Smith, Paramedic Gina Kotarski, and EMT Rachel Tillotson.

Rico Volunteer Fire Department had Paramedic Scottie Larsen, EMT Matt Guertin, EMT Benn Vernadakis, and EMR Pat Fallon.

We would like to thank EMSC Colorado and the for their coordination in this course.
