Medication Administration Basics⎮Dosing/Drawing⎮

Step by step instruction covering the basics of medication administration and dosing along with how to draw-up medication from a vial. This video is geared towards prehospital providers such as paramedics and advanced EMTs but is still applicable to nurses and nursing students looking for a review.

I'm not a medic at all. The group I ride with wanted to call me "medic" because of all the supplies I carry with me.
Knowing what it took to become a medic and especially a combat medic, I wouldn't allow it.
Was taught a lot of medic skills from growing up logging and military service.
I'm glad I found your channel. Very professionally done. Knowledgeable, professional, and informative.

Sam looks sooo much younger than ever before lol. Basically, as a paramedic in China we all love ur video because they’re always bringing us high-tech and some necessary tactical principles. Love

Dude, please drop those other videos ASAP! I am literally at this point in Medic school, about to get signed off on IV's to start hospital time. Love the videos man, a way I can understand them. Thanks! Keep doing good work

I work at a vet assistant, I stick myself drawing up vaccines too often because I am trying to do it while holding the vile. I will be using this tip from now on. thank you.

You should look up something called JRCALC - it’s a book/ app we use in the U.K.
Published every year and the app is updated almost weekly.
Brilliant thing really.

It’s contains various medications, dosages etc as well as various protocols and flowcharts.
Very useful. It has saved my bacon more than once!

Awesome video! Every caregiver who handles meds/narcs, need to know this stuff💉💊

[camrenwood]

This is a great video! I would love for you to go over Administration through IVs and IOs

[bloomingorchid]

Great job explaining. I'm in class for IV Sterile Preparations for Pharm Techs and I found this video very informative! The only thing I saw different was inserting the vial initially at a 45° angle to prevent "coring".

Hi Sam, how I was taught, right time meant that the drug wasn't expired, which I think applies better in prehospital care. Thanks!

[MtbEMS]

These refreshers are awesome. Thank you kind sir 👍

[devonbeede]

Could you potentially post a video specifically on dosing tips that you learned through medic school? What may be easy for one person may be a struggle for another person. Awesome video!

[valmalis]

Can I ask what and where you got you med pouch in the thumbnail from? I like the layout of that one and would fit well with my kit

[dennykitchens]

The best way to help these guys out is to have all your meds pills and doses rote down on cards you can give them and the doctor at the hospital
