  • Why would they say they were using a Combi, Multi or LMA if they are clearly Intubating with an ETT, and none of the devices you mentioned.

    You tend to not use a Laryngescope with a blind-insertion device.

  • I agree, Levering on the teeth is not the correct way and offers no mechanical advantage.The anaesthetists (or anesthsiologists in other countries) I work with would not be impressed if I used that technique on our patients!

  • I'm an EMT-B, Paramedic student in Ohio. Intubation is still currently in the basics scope for the state, but is being taken out after the first of the year. Just wanted to add my two cents! :)

  • I Live in Wichita, KS and I am currently taking an EMT course. As EMTs we are absolutely allowed to perform Endotracheal intubations. I'm actually learning this right now.

  • Endotracheal Intubation is no longer allowed for EMT-Bs in any state that I know of. I think some states allow blind insertion devices like the King tube.

    New York allows its Intermediates to do ET.

  • i thought only als could do this?

  • this video is outdated. :p

  • they are doing that so wrong... you dont rock back, you pull foward because otherwise you could break teeth....not mention we don't hyperventilate anymore, you just pre-oxygenate... where i am in virginia that is an intermediate skill

  • circumferential taping is incorrect

  • @jazelle24 don't think so, neither does IL

  • california don't allow emt-b to intubate do they?

  • Agreed. Pennsylvania just signed into legislature the EMT-A, which is basically an EMT-I. My EMT instructor, who is a medic, told me its completely necessary to have EMT-A's
