Today we will briefly be discussing Saline and LR in a new format called QuickCrit. The goal of these episode types will be to analyze evidence-based medicine and how it impacts our lives as prehospital providers. Today we will focus on the differences between NSS and LR in the prehospital setting and taking a look at how these two different solutions affect our patients. As always, this podcast does not contain medical guidelines or protocols, please refer to your statewide scope of practice and accepted protocols and procedures for your level of licensure.
