  • Student here. Do you ever use a OPA on a conscious patient?

  • @bluealkaline87 i can't say never, but never. I mean you would have to have a patient with no gag reflex, which isn't impossible, but highly unlikely. because you've got to remember the OPA is for keeping tongue from sliding down and blocking your airway. most conscious patients have that ability. And I do use the word "most" there's always exceptions to most everything.

  • so OPQRST is meant if the patient is in pain correct ? and DCAPBTLS is only for trauma patients right ?

  • @Erick8869 yes and no, I mean if you have time for a detail exam of a trauma patient then you could use OPQRST to be document a femur fraction or something, a lot of procedures you follow are very fluid

  • Hey, when the EMT guy has the stethoscope on, is he listening to heartbeat or lungs? Cuz my bio textbook says it's the heart valves opening and closing..

  • @3cheers4Ger the only time I saw the stethoscope out was when he was taking the patients BP. what time in the video are you referring to?

  • @hotroderguy at the very very beginning of the video you see the EMT putting the stethoscope on the patient's chest.

  • He didn't care for shock m'kay...

  • Shouldn't you voice checking for trachal devation, JVD and steps inthe spine upon postior exam?

  • so i take it the diagnosis for this patient would be a pnemothorax?

  • @hotroderguy You're right, he was taking blood pressure using the brachial artery; I don't know why I had the hemo/pneumo thing in my head lol.. He should have done that for a penetrating trauma though, that's probably why I wrote that comment at the time.

  • @ParkerHipHop Thanks.

  • @3cheers4Ger He's checking lung sounds to confirm the presence (or lack-there-of) of a pneumo/hemo thorax.
