This is an example of a Medical Assessment done in under 10 minutes. It is meant to be both educational and humorous-- it is not meant as an example of patient care or an exact representation of an assessment to be used during an exam.

  • 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???

  • @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!

  • 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.

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

  • 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.

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

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