Ski Patrol Training Movies

This is a pretty cool video, that covers everything you need to know about basic respiration in just a couple of minutes.

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!

BVM (Bag Valve Mask) is a skill that EMT’s EMS’s and OEC Technicians need to know how to do, and do well. this is a video skills presentation done for ski patrolers, by ski patrolers…

The proper set up and use of BVM.

This video covers using a pocket mask to ventilate a patient during CPR.

This covers the insertion of oropharyngeal airways, nasopharyngeal airways and the proper use of suction.

This video covers setting up your oxygen tank, then hooking up a non-rebreather, then switching that out for a nasal cannula and then dismantling the tank and regulator. The one thing I noticed is that she didn’t crack the tank before she put on the regulator. You need to crack the tank first to clear debris out of the tank/regulator interface so you don’t get junk in the regulator.

Inserting an oropharyngeal airway into a wide awake person in EMT training.

OK, there are a few bad words thrown around in this first video clip of some EMT’s training in Nasopharyngeal Airway Insertion, but if you were wide awake while they were doing this to you, you’d say bad words too. The second video is of a nursing student getting an NPA.
