You never checked oxygen saturation, I thought that would be important to know when deciding what method of oxygen delivery to choose from?

[@obnoxiouscat6269]

a pulse oximeter is usually super inaccurate so emts dont carry them.

[@homerhomie4941]

@@obnoxiouscat6269 incorrect, its an important vital to get regardless if its sometimes inaccurate (due to circulation or nail polish etc.)

[@kreygrant3994]

@@homerhomie4941 Totally agree! In fact, a pulse ox reading should be one of the first vital signs you obtain with this particular NOI. A lot of the times there will be one connected to your lifepack or cardiac monitor. Absolutely important to get to determine any other underlying condition as well as direct your decision for oxygen flow rates.

So although it is a very important thing to know, and in real like you would check, o2 saturation is not listed as a required vital on the NREMT sheet that I'm currently looking at. For TESTING purposes you just have to verbalize/show proper o2 treatment. So that may be why he didn't ask.
