EMT Basic National Registry Practical Exam DVD Available - Knightlite Software

Becoming and EMT-Basic is no easy task. You spend hours in the classroom, hours of ride-time on the ambulance and time in the ER. The entire experience can be stressful. After the long and demanding journey to obtain your certification the last thing you need is added stress during your practical exam.

This video is an example of one of the stations in Knightlite Software's "Ace Your EMT Basic Practical Exam." This 2 DVD set helps EMT-Basic candidates prepare for their National Registry Practical Exam. There is over 3 hours of instruction, and 21 stations based on the National Registry Skill Sheets.

Please Note: Except for the O2 & CPR stations, we did not have the O2 flowing, and that is why the bag is not inflated. Shooting several takes for 21 stations over 4 days using real O2 would be quite expensive. We simulated some things, like not actually shooting the gunshot victim. In all of the stations we followed the NR Skill sheets from beginning to end. That was the script. You need only "indicate appropriate O2 therapy." Its not a critical criteria as it would be in the O2 Admin station for instance

what i dont get is that after the telemetry call the emt is told to give the pt one more dose of her albuterol, would not it be more logical to albute her via the re breather. or canula

[Knightlite1]

@volkersvaugen ...

EMTs don't "give" inhaler dosages. They assist the patient with their own inhaler. That is what the skill sheets says and that is what the EMT did.

[gonzoboy]

hello,

i'm very knew to this field of transport medicine. (recent emt basic grad.) so please take my comments w/ a grain of salt.

first: i am under the impression that anything over 20 b.r.p.m requires b.v.m. regulation.

second: no questions were asked about chemicals used during gardening . a common practice.

third: no exposure of patient to ascertian potential allergic skin reaction to enviroment.

p.s. always 02!

thanks!

[Knightlite1]

@gonzoboy

Maybe you should watch the video again.

1) You are not going to bag an asthma patient. You will quickly get one punch in the face.

2) She says she has asthma. The mystery is gone. She did not say she was using chemicals. Whether she was or was not using chemicals would have no affect on what your care will be.

3) She is not complaining of a skin allergy. She is having difficulty breathing.

Please re-read the National Registry Skill Sheets.

@Knightlite1

yes, she is not complaining of skin symptoms or history of allergies, but this could have been her first allergic episode.

By exposing and inspecting her chest he would confirm she didn't have hives, closed chest injury, blunt trauma, or hemothorax causing her chest discomfort.

She could also have hives and be a pt with history of asthma.

On the way to the hospital we should consider also doing a detail assessment to make sure we are not missing any other possible cause.

[Knightlite1]

@Yhoah She says right up front she has asthma and she also has a prescribed inhaler. He also asked if she fell and she said no, so trauma does not seem to be the issue. He also stated that he would do a detailed physical exam on the way to the hospital among other assessments. That would detect whether she had hives or not.

[redhorserider2]

This is a great video. He is treating this woman as you would a real patient. I would think the instructors would want to see you respond as you would in a real situation, not following a rigid guideline just to make sure you cover every step possible. I'd love to see more of the same type videos.

[blackbeltff]

@Knightlite1 Ignore these guys they obviously did not pass emt class and are trying to gloat on the little information they know. And to you guys, shutup. This is a training video that is very general. No need to over think things here.

[cuau1967]

is good

[ComaBoy05]

This is great, I really like how real he makes it.

[bleve08]

One of the better example videos online. This is the NR EMT B standard of patient assesment. State protocols may vary. I am a VA EMT but generally this is how it should be done. All treatment in practical stations is done verbally. The only phyiscal thing we had to do is the first set of vitals and checking ABCs and lung sounds. Good post

[memphisboy29]

@1108tata because as an emt basic you cannot give drugs you may only assist with the patients drugs. And if her airway closes up completely the ALS unit can give epi.

[1108tata]

i dont completely understand why there is a need for ALS intercept. i would just transport the patient directly to the hospital.

[jasmin22344]

this is very scary i have astma too ): its soo anoyyinngg andd its really bad wheen i run D:

[Knightlite1]

@123jp1000 Your right. In real life the O2 would go on immediately, but this is a training video that follows the National Registry Skill sheets. It's real purpose is to help you pass your practical test, not necessarily what you would do in the field, again as you said O2 would go on right away.

[abaugh22]

@volkersvaugen emt basics can only assist the patient with their own inhaler. you have to be an emt-i or higher to give albuterol otherwise from the drug box.

[tidd1983]

@Yhoah it says right up front that this is a respitory station and not a poision or allergic reaction station so none of these questions even apply to the station
