I love all these videos! Question about BSI - I thought they changed the word a month or two ago, but keep in mind I am not an EMT (one more year until I can get certified!) The beauty of all of your videos is that they aren't necessarily limited to just NY.
We were told we *had* to tighten in this order, otherwise it's a fail (and they made us do it over) Middle, Bottom, Legs, Head, Top (My baby looks hot tonight)
also: 1:53 You let go *again* ;) Since it' a pain to hold the patient and wrestle that stupid thing in place, and this isn't real, I'll let it fly. ;) We had to physically put in the head pillow in the back, every time
Our station never uses it we always just call rapid extrication because it's faster. Yeah, we're naughty, I know.

@KyprosNighthawk The order of the straps is kinda funny. I have found many mnemonics that have described the order, but they are all different orders. And since New York State's practical skill sheets does not require an order, I do not think it is a major point.

@ilwolfxv2 You have very good points, but this video is focusing on application of the KED. Trauma patient assessment is a whole new game.
