This video was VERY well done. Not being pedantic, but it looks as though one of the cravats is directly over the tib-fib injury, thereby causing undue potential pain.
Good video with one problem.....when he initially assesses the leg he grabs and rotates the foot upward. In the field this quick action without prior notification to the patient may get you punched in the face lol!!!!! He should have asked the pt to manually stabilize BEFORE turning his foot or if there was already good ONE then go ahead and stabilize in the position the leg is already in.
Thank you!! I have my practical tomorrow and I haven’t gotten to work on this station in a hot minute so I just wanted to check it out quick before tomorrow
Great vid! I had a patient the other day with a dislocated knee and he was only comfortable having his leg straight. To splint I used two sam splints and used triangle bandages to tie. I couldn't get the splint very tight though because it hurt the patient to pull it taught making the spline seem pretty useless...any tips for next time?
Aren't you supposed to immobilize the joint above and below the the fracture if it it a tibula fracture. Why are you secure the bones instead of the joints.
The splint is not leveled to the foot of patient it can cause a problem while transfering, and the splint on the inner part might hit the balls of patient lol
I would do it on the ground before moving the patient to the stretcher. You want that leg secure and stable before moving the patient. If they are in a lot of pain, you can put the scoop on the ground, gently move them to the scoop, secure them then lift the scoop to the stretcher.
NREMT isn't that big of a deal, guys. Chill out and relax. They grill you way too hard on stuff but it's still important to know. Fall back on your training, utilize good judgement, and hope for the best.
