pericardiocentesis

[Wendland, Barbara]

Yes, st Stanford Life Flight we are allowed to perform pericardiocentesis, however only in traumatic arrest situations.  We maintain competency via cadaver labs.

Hey all
     This subject was brought up back in July with only a few
responses...Are there any flight programs out there which allow nurses
or paramedics to perform pericardiocentesis????  Any information would
be greatly appreciated.  Thanks
