EMT Skills: Spinal Immobilization Seated Patient - EMTprep.com 

"Is there anything else you would like to do." More terrifying words have never been uttered.

From California we used "my baby looks hot tonight" when I learned it. Middle bottom legs head and top of torso.

Thank you EMT PREP i took my practical exam yesterday and I passed. I watched and watched and study my sheet. On to my state exam now 🙌🏾

For state of Connecticut, it goes middle, bottom, top, legs, padding for head, head straps. Move to backboard, secure, PMS, release legs and PMS again.

Hey, I'm super appreciative of these videos. I'm gonna watch all of them all day and until I complete the EMT course. I'm the only one in that class with no prior medical training or aspirations. It's intimidating and I'm nervous about it all the time, but I felt the need to jump into it and be all in. Even if it's just for a little while. Thanks, guys.

I test Thursday for the fire department and I've been watching this all day thanks guys my paramedic skills got so rusty 😬

hey guys! keep inmind this demenstration passes the NREMT, but may not pass as your school cerfitacation criteria. i use this as a tool. im in california and some orders in this video are out of place but the idea is there. every state does have differnt cerfitaction criteria

Am having my exam in two days but with this video am confident I can do it

Thank you for putting out these videos, my Emt class is tested in about 2 weeks, it's great to have these to refer to to get a base line =)

I am going into Paramedic testing in a couple of weeks and I'm very nervous. Thank you for making these videos to help me with my testing.

Addressing various comments here for any viewers in 2018... - The order of the straps does not matter for NREMT. I don't know about specific states. All that matters for NREMT is that you pad and secure the head AFTER the torso is "appropriately secured." It is up to the judgment of the examiner how many straps constitute "appropriately secured." - This skill is still included in the NREMT psychomotor exam, but is not necessarily given. It is one of four skills that you must pick at random: long bone immobilization, joint immobilization, spine board (seated patient), and bleeding control/shock management. You pick and perform one of those skills. Maybe some test centers alter their choices knowing that nobody could prove they did, but it's more likely that if nobody you know got this skill, luck and statistics were just on your side 😁 This info is from the NREMT examination users guide posted on nremt.org as of July 9, 2018

Great videos. Very informative and professional. Cover all the points correctly. BTW, I thought Goose was killed in a fighter jet accident. LOL!

this one is a little critical you secure that c-spine the whole time no sudden movement

these videos are great glad i found them

Nicely explained. thank you

You should check the neck for any j.juries, step offs and check.for.jvd before you put c-collar on. As well.as.inspect chest.

Taking my NREMT final exam this sat. The correct order for strapping the pt is; Boy - Bottom My - Middle Leg - the "Legs" Cramps - Chest (take a deep breath then snug it) Hurts - the Head last. Transfer the pt to the long backboard & then releasing the leg straps. Otherwise, the pt legs will be pointing upwards. And then checking PMS (Pulse, Motor & Sensory). PMS should be done before & at the end as you just watched. Someone already mentioned it but not entirely. Before putting on a C-collar, check for DCAPBTLS, step-off (missing/offset cervical vertebrae), JVD & trachea deviation. Same goes with the pt entire back (DCAPBTLS, ecchymosis &/or bleeding) before placing the pt on the KED &/or the backboard. Otherwise, you will have to unstrap the whole thing in the ambulance in order to log roll & to reassess the pt back.

It's actually My Baby Looks Totally Piping Hot MBLTPH= middle, bottom,legs, top, padding, head. I'm taking my practical Jan 17, and that's the criteria for Massachusetts. But great videos, really helpful!

thx

are you supposed to check ABCs or its not necessary

No DECAP-BTLS check behind the back when she was siting forward?

Can you move the patient forward slightly while positioning the KED behind them or is that a critical failure?

Tell and Q2 MMI

I have the biggest problem on how to get that KED into the back of the patient, thank you! you save me!! although I would pad the crotch area just to be more comfortable for the patient...

I don't remember the straps been put in that order. I think it was the last one or the middle one first. Please Reply back if I'm wrong. I need to make sure of the order.

Neck pain oil message

so are we suppose to maintain c spine and let our partner apply the device???

I did this exactly that way and failed. I think they got me for the cspine transfer. but there's no way of knowing. They refuse to provide you with reasons for failure.

How much space is needed approximately for the pads to be required.

Anyone else go to CIEMT?

This isn’t a protocol anymore so my ny class didn’t do it

So c-spine is allowed to let go as long as she is held from the front?

south carolina does not test this skill, but i am watching bc i am curious

Ahhh my eyes hurt now from my biggest fear I always hated those things they are so uncomfortable I had to wear one before cause I got a concussion from a heavy glass bowl full of pennys came falling on me and it sliced my nose and gave me a concussion but c collars are my biggest fear

Middle strap first.

i hope they have a version of the X-collar the c-collar is already obsolete based on AHA

middle strap is always first

In every video the blond always stares at the bold guy.

After he did bsi and scene safety, shouldn't he go on to glc abc?

I test for BEMT in two more days... I have been studying all day now. Wish me luck...

She needs to sit with her legs UNCROSSED

i thought top torso was always last

crazy I was taught My Baby Has Good Teeth. Took my registery test today too.

Before you place someone in a KED on a backboard remove the leg straps.

Test in 20 minutes 🥴

my baby looks top heavy

Why dont you actually show how to move patient as this is an issue in real exams

awesome video.. KED is dumb, imo

what the age and are you real EMTs

The blonde is hot.
