One of the most egregious disservices to EMS students is what passes for medicolegal education in EMT or Paramedic school. Far too often, students are subjected to myth, dogma and outright b t from instructors who have at best a superficial understanding of the subject, most of whom have never had their lessons taught or vetted.

Acidosis Existing literature demonstrates mortality rates up to three times higher in trauma patients presenting with extreme acidosis (pH <7.0) compared to patients with mild acidosis or normal pH. Acidosis can worsen coagulopathy and hypothermia, and vice versa. In trauma patients, acidosis (pH < 7.35) is usually caused by lactic acid.
