These videos are SO useful! I wish our training unit would actually show us how to perform assessments like this. It has helped me immensely in memorising procedures.

Thank you for these videos. I'm a volunteer EMT and I feel like i get a little rusty on my assessments sometimes

Hi, if you think the patient have lung embolism (Example if swollen foot), do you still treat it as a acute cardiac infarction prophylactic?

@IdahoMedicalAcademy Месяц назад

Swollen feet, or pedal edema, is more likely to be due to congestive heart failure and not a pulmonary embolism. Crackles or rales in the lungs would be another good indication of congestive heart failure in a patient with complaint of chest pain or breathing difficulty. Nitroglycerin is a beneficial medication for patients with CHF, but is not generally in the EMT scope for that purpose. If you are suspecting a patient has a pulmonary embolism due to respiratory complaints with possible hypoxia, as well as chest pain (commonly a more specific sharp pain to a pinpoint area of the chest)and possibly clear lungs sounds, then the patient should not be treated as if they are suffering AMI.
