Medical Assessment Example for the (humorous) EMT student

[LVsquirrel702]

Just a ?. Why were you checking for things that has to do with trauma when this a medical call. Just asking.

[capt1551]

idk what ur protocols but wouldnt u put a potential Cardiac pt on High flow o2 ie: 15 lpm via NRB and not 6 lpm NC???

[LorenzoAlviso]

@capt1551 Good question. I, myself would probably connect high flow oxygen to this patient, absolutely. Why not, right? However, for the sake of testing, most programs direct students to initiate NC for medical assessment and NRB for Trauma so that they can utilize both methods in a testing environment. As the video states, this is not an exact replica of protocol or treatment, but is meant to assist in studying skills. Thanks for the view and Q!

@capt1551 According to the AHA guidelines for 2010, if a patient has an SPO2 > or = to 94% on room air, there is nor additional benefit by placing HFO2 vs LFO2 @ 2-6lpm via cannula. Something I instruct my EMR, EMT, and Paramedic students is that depeding on your service / call location, you may have a limited amount of O2 available, perhaps only one spare D-size cylinder and could find yourself in a pickel if you are flowing 15lpm. To be honest, you could be literally wasting O2.

Maybe all EMTs and medics should time their patient assessments to the 1812 Overture .

YAY !!

Great Job, but i noticed you didn't do Signs / Symptoms. After you finished your OPQRST you went right into allergies.

[impossiblecr4e]

actually as soon as he decided she had an airways... you're suppose to get insurance next... lol

[LorenzoAlviso]

Good call on the ALS request-- that could be stated under the 'transport re-evaluation' section following any interventions.

The patient however had no prescribed nitro, so it wouldn't effect the care provided on this call as a CA EMT-B can only assist with the medication. For the skill sheet testing process the actual transport is assumed, as well.

Very good but you forgot to five her Nitro. Patient has radiating / crushing pain should have called for ALS back up

Thats EMThumor

pretty good, like the humor

[Calmonay]

I like the videos opening pretty good

[lefty72579]

I have my medical and trauma assessment practicals tomorrow for MFR. I wonder if the proctors would like it if I used humor? This is a great example to follow. You went right through in order on my skill sheet. And great choice on the music selection.

Fantastic Job Mr. Alviso...I finally had time to view the entire video and you did a great (and humorus) job! I will show this to all my future students.
