EMT skills: Airway practical NREMT 

And out of scope of EMRs in Canada

Weird, national registry allows for supraglottic airways for EMT-B’s, like igels, combitubes, and kings… I guess most states are the 18 that don’t require it as a prerequisite?… I’m thinking that your most likely wrong

@@MrMasonHendricksin some states is a paramedic or AEMT only skill. In others, it’s a sponsor hospital specific skill. In CT AEMTs can only insert an SGA for a patient in cardiac arrest.

okay ? EMT - Ps whos talking about basics ?

Thank you so much for the feedback. I agreed. I was eating my GoPro and did a voiceover after haha. I was thinking the same thing about POV vids for other assessments and procedures. Cheers to being good educators.

Wish yall had reciprocity in your state

jack Barton thanks buddy! Love how you noticed the Shaka. Kick that exams ass 🤙🏼

thanks brotha

J I S U E Beats thanks brotha! @uicemt on ig!

Brandon Baker you’re right. The petroleum is used for class. Thanks for the distinction🤙🏼

Only jaw thrust is used for unconscious patients, anything else is a no no if unconscious

Trauma (avulsed teeth, laceration, punctures, etc), or medical conditions (GI bleeding, lung damage, CHF, etc). Thats a very open question

You should’ve asked the question back to the doctor, just to make it a little more ironic

@@lifeofhaizar744 I did. I was like you tell me why he has blood in his throat.

Hi, I’m taking the EMT class now and bound to graduate next week. I turn on the suction prior to putting the catheter in the mouth. Just do not “apply” suction until you’re pulling the nozzle out of the mouth. This is done by covering the hole on the handle to apply suction.

Yes! but when we're intubating with an endotracheal tube. It's not needed when we're using a supraglottic device like a king tube or iGel

He isn't intubating, the airways used here are called SGA (supra glottic airways) they go over the opening to the trachea/seal off that opening from the esophagus/mouth to prevent airway matter from entering the trachea, and to keep the airway open. These are sometimes called "blind airways" as they require little to no visual guidance to be placed. Intubation is placing a tube into the trachea to bypass the oral and glottic structures. It requires visual guidance to bypass the vocal cords and enter the trachea.
