Every first responder should be trained to intubate, and every car should have an emergency respirator in the trunk. IMO. Along with AEDs, even if it's not relevant in this particular case. There's no reason cops and firefighters shouldn't be trained in the basics and equipped to respond accordingly.
Hell, give them all head mounted cameras and put them on live with someone to coach them from the local ER.
Intubation might be a bit much fore most people, but that is why they have bag-mask. Paramedics should be able to everywhere, as far as I know.
I mean. If the person is one minute from being DRT, I'd stop being concerned about the officer or firefighter having a hard time getting it right. It's more effective than CPR or a bag mask isn't it? And cops don't even carry bag masks.
They need to join the 21st century, IMO.
Give them a full kit, including sedatives and stimulants and plasma and an EKG. They can live stream to an ER for coaching.
Seems it's just typical government reluctance to adapt. How many people have died because tasers failed? And in 10 years they'll still be using that same ridiculous failure prone design.
You are basically describing a paramedic. They get there nearly as fast as the police already do. The difference being when the event needs a paramedic due to what happened after the police arrived. Everything already exist, therefore it may be more efficient to simply dispatch an ambulance for any 911 call if enough exist, but that is where they fall short. In my town we have enough, but as the population scales up to bigger cities, I would imagine this would fall behind.
