As a current EMT student, I sincerely appreciate IMA for posting these videos. Seeing mistakes other EMT students make during assessment actually really helps. I tend to learn more watching these types of scenarios versus the ones where students are hitting all of their marks. Anyone who has been in these shoes as an EMT student knows how nerve wracking patient assessments are. So thank you to the students as well for allowing these to be shared.

Why didn't he put an Occlusive dressing over the gunshot wound on the chest, tape it down on 3 sides

@IdahoMedicalAcademy 5 месяцев назад

He does not place one during initial assessment, but upon reassessing the wound during the secondary assessment he does place an occlusive dressing. Thanks for the comment!

would the MARCHE algorithm apply to this scenario in a "normal" EMS setting? my first thought is that's what i would jump to as a guide to how to treat this person. i guess technically that's essientially what the guy did here

@IdahoMedicalAcademy 5 месяцев назад

Yes, definitely. Whether you follow MARCHE or XABCDE (External bleed, Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Disability, Exposure) in general the first thing you will want to manage is uncontrolled external bleeding.

@TimTrOn3000 5 месяцев назад

So you're going to ignore the fact he didn't control bleeding as first step in XABC? You're training stoners to be unprofessional corpse delivery men. All the other videos you put out were solid, this one makes me second guess everything else I've seen you say before. "But its all good, dude. Sweet, you're bleeding but the morgue is only 8 minutes away. Alright, awesome man." You're a bad proctor if you passed this guy.

@TimTrOn3000 5 месяцев назад

Critical fail. Use of language conforms to lack of professionalism. I don't want an EMT telling me "it's cool bro, you're gonna be alright, dude. Sweet, you're getting help". 50% of illness/injury is psychosomatic... if I don't trust my EMT as professional it makes my outcome worse. Dude knows his shit and did very well. The language is very unprofessional.

Hey, Tim, as stated in the video, this student didn't pass this scenario; you're correct. Not initially managing penetrating trauma to the thorax with an occlusive dressing is a critical failure. The purpose of this video is to give current EMT students an example of going through a trauma scenario and for students to follow along with their exam sheets and see what the student got right and wrong. We feel like it’s essential in EMS education to meet students where they are and help coach them to be successful. It might look different to people with experience, or it’s been a while since taking an EMT course. The best education we have found is supporting our students and letting them make mistakes because that’s where learning begins, which is what we care about. We can all agree that the student put himself in a stressful situation as a student applying his new knowledge while also being filmed. We are very proud of this student because it takes courage and caring for other EMT students to learn from him and improve. EMS needs more encouragement and support from everyone, both for our current generation and the future of EMS. We can all agree that is what truly matters.
