This Ski Patrol, OEC, EMS, EMT training video covers how to check vitals, including the patient’s pulse, respiration rate and quality along with the patient’s blood pressure, using a blood pressure cuff and a stethoscope.
This Ski Patrol, EMS, EMT training video covers using oxygen, including using a non re-breathing mask and a nasal cannula. To use the oxygen, crack the valve, check the O-ring, install the regulator and then set the flow. Max pressure for the non re-breather is 15 liters per minute and the max pressure for the nasal cannula is 6 liters per minute.
Oropharyngeal Airways and Nasopharyngeal Airways. Someone needs to look this up in the book and get back to me, because the video says that one of the times that you would use a nasal airway would be with a patient with extreme facial injuries, but if I remember correctly, you need to be very careful with a patient with that type of injury, because if their facial bones are broken, then they hit hard enough to open their cranial cavity and you might end up killing them with a nasal airway that ends up going the wrong direction and ending up in their brain….
Somebody check this out and get back to me…. Or, I’ll find it myself if you’re all too lazy to help…. common people, a little help here!
