Passed at 100%!!!! Thank you, 9 years later and they are still relevant!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Was the scenario they used similar to this one?
I just took all of my skills test and watching this help me pass them with flying colors
Congrats Moe!!!
Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else needs to find out about emt final study guide try Corbandy Medic Study Crusher (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my colleague got great results with it.
How did u remember all this
Backwoods Badazz reading the sheets keep saying it over and over again. It will get stuck in your head.
Morgan Brown thank u man I have practical tommorow
Pay EMTs and people in the medical field more..
Couldn't agree more!
You mean we are SUPPOSED to make more then the guy making your coffee at Starbucks???
Shaun Sacks *than....
Pay more to public safety in general
+James Barack hey ,if anyone else wants to uncover emt exam questions try Nadazma Paramedic Helper ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my partner got excellent results with it.
Passed my NREMT practical! Thank you for these videos. You're heroes!
You rock DT, congrats!!!
That’s awesome!! Congrats!
congrats for real good luck w your career
8 years later and these videos are still coming in handy, thanks for uploading the video.
Don't forget to use your other two EMTs with you. With similar instance, i had made sure to first have one always hold c-spine precautions with cerivical collar. After, if I only found one blatant secondary injury, I would instruct my second helper to remedy with whatever means are appropriate as I continue to assess.
I have my first EMT interview in 2 weeks after being out of school for a year. I’m studying like crazy to refresh. Wish me luck everyone, these and my old notes are helping a lot 😭
😊👍
As an EMT student who had to go online halfway through the semester during covid and therefore didn’t get to do many skills in person, these videos are extremely helpful! Wish me luck on my test in 2 days! Thanks for the awesome vids!
Same here these videos really help me alot
Ended up passing both the psychomotor and cognitive first try :)
This could be my first skill tomorrow morning. I’m so nervous .
Update: it was my first skill that morning 😂
Karen Rosado MINE TOO
Karen Rosado it was like my third skill yesterday
Karen Rosado the proctor was like the EMS coordinator for the school and was emotionless. I thought I failed but my trauma patient was pretty much uninjured. He fell off of a 25 foot ladder but had nothing but bruising. He was not breathing adequately so I had to bag him, and he was showing signs of compensated shock. Besides that he had some minor bruising and no bleeding
SMC good , did you say consider C-spine? Lol mines was a lot . If I remember it was vehicle accident , had a laceration and glass through chest
Karen Rosado Yea thankfully I remembered C-spine. I almost forgot to mention I would insert an OPA before bagging, but I remembered halfway through and said some like, “ I forgot to mention that I would insert an OPA before bagging.”
dang.. ive got my nremt patient assessment test coming up and im soo stressed and nervous. this guy is very calm and collected makes it look easy
How did you do?
@@kazl5044 Did you take it? How's life been? Lol hello from the future!
!!
how did things go?
@@notablediscomfort hey man! lol i didnt even know anyone replied to my comment. Anyways, I passed my NREMT and became a full-time EMT for about four years. I am not longer in the field and used my EMT experience to leverage myself into a completely different field which pays me muchhh better for my time. This video, however, is excellent and an amazing tool to study. my life is completely different from when i initially posted 6 years ago... was living in my parents garage going to school, ive since moved up and out and bought a house and have met the love of my life and we have a little one on the way :) my skills test went pretty much how this video went so... memorize. Good luck to you, stranger. you can absolutely do it I believe in you
I passed!!! First-time no-retakes... Thank you, I played your videos on repeat. I can legit say your videos word for word lol
Cannot tell you how helpful these videos are. Highly appreciated.
I just wanted to pop on here and say thank you for these videos and your online study guide, they put me through my State exam and NREMT exam, and are now helping me prep for a job interview with the county. Thanks guys!!
Thanks Hayley! Congratulations on passing your tests and best of luck in your job interviews. You'll crush it. Let us know if you have any questions, we're here to help.
So far I watch your videos and have successfully passed the Medical Assessment with a perfect score and now I’m closely studying the Trauma one! Your videos are absolutely amazing! Very helpful to any soon to be EMTs
We can't thank you enough Aleks. We're so excited that you've gotten good use out of them.
I’m a second year EMS student watching this helpful video, still have a 3 years to study. I’ll comeback here and read my comment when I graduate. Thx 🙏🚑❤️
It really agravates me how an EMT makes less than Sally McBurger flipper!! Pay the EMT more THEY LITERALLY SAVE LIVES!!!
WiseRock Man I agree! (Sally mcburger flipper made me laugh so damn hard) 😂😂❤️
@A squished grape Your point would be valid IF paramedics made considerably more than EMTs, except THEY DON'T...
@Enigma McC hey I resemble that comment rotflmao
really? damn, glad i dont live in the states
@@LowCostWaterSoftenersI love that this comment has a good translate option 😂
These people are amazing from beginning to end and everyone in between who does any kind of work at hospitals.or anything to do..serving meals as well. It takes a special kind of person I fractures my pelvis and tibia after getting hit by a car and really God bless these people. and the doctors that sow u back together... I'm jus in awe . I wish I could do something..anything to give back❤️
Thanks EMT prep. I passed my tests yesterday. These vids are super helpful.
SMC Great job
I’ll be taking mine today 🤗
Mykaka Kaka I hope you do well. Just breathe and relax. The time limits give you plenty of time to clear your head if you need to. Everything you learned will come back to you, trust me.
SMC just got back from the practical, passed on my first try🥳☺️. Thank you for the advice 🥰
Mykaka Kaka Congratulations . And no problem.
Well done videos! I've only watched a couple thus far, but I
m loving the thoroughness of them. I've got my NREMT in about 2 1/2 weeks, with the skills portion a couple days beforehand. I'm gonna binge watch these things until I pass. I'll edit this comment when I get through it all!
Your videos are all so helpful. I like the guy taking the tests and the procure. My favorite thing is he finished in under 10 minutes. Videos is only 6 minutes THANK YOU!!!
Just wanted to let you know that we did our skills tests yesterday down here in sunny Bermuda and thanks to your videos i managed to get through first try!!! The one that totally freaked me out was trauma and while i didnt ace the exam by any means i passed it!! Your videos and online program are so much help - thanks again!!
Mark thanks so much for the great feedback and CONGRATS!!!
Our instructors have given these videos as a resource and it is a real lifesaver! We had our first practical skills day in class and thanks to studying these and the NREMT Practical exam sheets I was able to not only pass it myself with few difficulties but also help my fellow students learn 😊
Thanks so much for the feedback! We're stoked you guys are getting good use out of them.
This is so well done. I watched this an buch-then I totally screwed this up in lab on Friday. "pushed for time" I don't know. I will keep watching this over and over.
Gotta love CZcams, as an "aspiring Corpsman" these videos really help when the instructors consolidate 2 years of EMT training into 6 weeks. I'm only at mod 5 so far but can't help but look ahead to this stuff. It is really similar to medical assessment though, go figure.
Testing this Friday. These are really helping with my NREMT review. Thanks so much for priding this!
The annoying high pitched intro/outro sound when you got headphones on at full volume 😫
Hey Andres, it's actually a super high-tech way to make sure you're awake :) On a serious note, we will look into toning the intros and outro down a bit. Hopefully you're still able to get some good use out of them.
Thanks! Awesome video though! Helped me passed my skills portion!
I also dislike the intro/outro sound. It's shrill and piercing. But I do like the videos.
i'm pretty sure my ears are bleeding
😂😂😂
Just passed my NYS Practicals! there were a couple other NR videos that fell short, but this one specifically I can credit with me
making it through. amazing help
Hi Danny. Congratulations!!!! I’m in my EMT course in NY too. Man, I’d love if you could direct me toward some helpful videos like this one. Good luck out there!
i have my Patient Assessment skills exam on November 3rd and my Divisions exam same day at the SRJC. All i can say right now is thank you for showing me that I have plenty of time to do it in 10 mins. this truly calmed my nerves a lot. this video will be on repeat 24/7 until that day comes. please keep up the great work and thank you for posting videos like these. +1 subscriber from me.
Well how did it go 6 years ago ? Are you a paramedic yet ?
These are really helpful, but a few things:
Pt needs assisted ventilations if her RR is 30
Didn't place a c-collar (critical fail)
He didn't check her arms
I didn't see a c collar in the tools, but he did mention that he would take c spine precautions. Your right though he should have at least verbally stated that he was going to have his partner control c spine.
@@ErichBaltzellProductions My guess is... The proctor said there was decreased breath sounds... That shows inadequate breathing.
Also, at the end he missed treating the lower blood pressure. 92/68 in a critical patient showing signs of hypovolemic shock should get a large bore IV with Ringers/NS at a drip rate to maintain current blood pressure.
@@Hahaokthen IV isn't in EMT B national curriculum
@@Bigjiggins Thanks! Sorry, I'm not familiar with the EMT regulations.
have my test on the 18th. been watching these all day everyday
+smj1245 Best of luck! If you haven't already, be sure to check out our website, EMTprep.com for more study tools.
Well i passed my assessmnet but failed my skill test. Long bone immobilization . More practice for me!
+smj1245 good job and fast lesson, if you want to know more and more detail about this please check "corbandy medic study crusher" on google, this is the way for more information and detail, mostly people check it..
interesting points ,if anyone else wants to uncover emt practice questions try Skyarza Medic Study Star (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my mate got excellent success with it.
here i am 7 years later doing it again for my medic 😂
I used this video and the other videos by these two and passed the NREMT practicals with no issues. Just make sure you study your skills sheet prior to ensure you don't miss something.
Awesome advice and CONGRATULATIONS!!
EMTprep g
Don’t forget that DCAP-BTLS before palpating
Facts
That's a plus, it's not on the nremt sheet
thats what you're checking when palpating and exposing.
@@micaman33 You are still supposed to do it first via inspection, then palpation. Don't want to risk rupturing an AAA.
@@selenasilva7339 When palpating the abdomen you do it light and then a little deeper in each quadrant. So this would be AAA safe. Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm is not super common plus this assessment is supposed to be fast. In my studies, we never discussed AAA as a result of trauma. I think it's safer, in general, to do the head to toe assessment fast so you can identify life threats and transport that critical patient.
I’ve been watching these videos and I took my skills exam today and passed thank you for posting them!!
CONGRATULATIONS Sarah! Never stop learning.
Did the accelerated 4 week program last month and bombed 2 of my 4 assessments. Medical and Trauma. Retaking just those 2 on Thursday, so I’m listening to these non stop.
What were the other 2 assessments
Took midterms last week and passed. Thanks for the great content!
Absolutely Tom! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! NEVER STOP LEARNING!
I performed and recited these skills verbatim during my skills test thanks to these videos!
Awesome Arch! Congratulations!!!! Never stop learning! We're excited we got to play a small role in helping you achieve your career goals. Best of luck on all your future endeavors!! Be sure to check out the CE portion of our site. We still have a free 5 hours offer going on now.
Soon to be a medic in my country these videos help me alot thank you guys please keep up the good clear videos love you guys 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Like many other comments have said, these videos have been an amazing help! Thank you so much for taking the time to make these!
I have my Practical Exams tomorrow, and because I've watched all of these videos (about 20 times each lol) I'm very confident in the skills.
Thank you, again.
You're very welcome Johan!
+EMTprep I passed! Now I'm just waiting to take the national registration exam!
My midterm patient assessments start today, this channel has really helped me out a lot
+Matthatter14 Awesome Matt! Glad you're getting some good use out of it. Check back this next month for our advanced skill videos.
Very helpful to be able to see these assessments done over and over in preparation for practicals.
+cwsosby Glad you're getting good use out of them! We created them for people just like you. For more great free training, head over to www.EMTprep.com
These videos really will help me on my coming EMT Training
i passed my practicals today with the aid of these videos i recited to the t. thank you
That's awesome!!! CONGRATS to you!!!
We're doing our trauma scope of practice tomorrow for the end of the semester and this is really helpful. I get disorganized going into scenarios and this is a really helpful visual. Thanks for posting.
You bet! Sometimes it helps when people break down the skill sheets into chunks of information that they can remember. We have seen some students make a handful of acronyms to help them remember each step of the skill sheets. Keep watching the videos to help reinforce what you know and then practice, practice, practice. Let us know if you have any questions, we're here for you!
Here is an assessment module I learned after 15 years as an EMT in a 700 call a day system. I’m now on year 20. 1st..... do the whole scene safe. BSI number of pts. General impression. Then approach the pt. This works if pt is awake or unresponsive..... introduce yourself say to pt can you tell me whats goin on with u today. If they answer u or don’t u just got pts GCS. grab the radial pulse. Say to examiner. Do I have a pulse. Yes no. If no start cpr. Is it fast or slow. That’s all u want to know. Say I’m feeling for pulse. Fast or slow. I’m also feeling skin also is it cool hot sweaty and color. They will answer u. Say to pt can u open ur mouth for me. See if they follow commands. If so say is my airway patient. Then take stethoscope and listen to all 4 lung lobes. Say how’s there breathing good bad labored. They will say clear or rales or whatever. If it’s bad put on a non rebreather. Then palpate 4 quadrants of abdomen. Then palpate pelvis. Then long bones. Then feel for pedal pulses. Tell pt to push down on ur hand with there feet and pull back. U just did a CVA test. Go back up. Grab hands and say squeeze. Again CVA. say open up mouth stick tongue out. Smile for me. Again CVA. See if they follow commands. Look in the eyes say dilated or pinpoint. Your done. U just hit every check off point on the national registry check off sheet. Get a quick set of real vitals. Load pt up. Do a secondary assessment 2nd set of vitals your done. This takes about 60 seconds. Works on an alert pt or unresponsive pt medical or trauma. If you take a pt into the emergency room trauma room 1 this is the same assessment that every ER doctor does on every pt. 60 seconds your done. U started at the head worked ur way down to the feet and went back up to the head. U went up. Down. Back up. U checked for pulses. U checked skin. U checked skin color. U checked level of consciousness. U checked airway. U checked breath sounds. U checked abdomen. U checked pelvis. Long bones. CVA. Pedal pulses. Pupils. Found any bleeding. U checked off everything on the national registry sheet. U get a 100. And it took 45-60 seconds. We now have 500 medics in our county. I’ve been there longer than all 500 of them. They now teach all 500 of us this assessment module. I learned this 15 years into my career. It made me a 100 times better medic than I ever was. It works. I do it on every pt. No matter what we’re called out for. Medical. Trauma. Peds. Adults. Responsive. Unresponsive. Don’t matter. Hope this helps someone.
Thanks for the video
Passed practical on Monday
Written is on Thursday
Thank you so much! Just took my skills test and passed them all without a sweat!
Baek Doo San Nice job. I'm over here sweating for mine.
+ltsmum3316 Hey man, thank you. I was sitting in the room waiting for them to call my name and I thought I was going to have a heart attack. Then when I got in, I zoomed right through it with no effort. The best advice I got for passing was from a paramedic friend of mine. "Never think outside of the box, always think straightforward and with your gut". Good luck man!
Baek Doo San But THANKS!!!
That is so awesome!!!! Congratulations Baek!!!!
These videos helped me so much in EMT school.
But omfg this loud ass intro gives me flashbacks 😂Replaying these videos on loop to memorize them before the practical.
Passed everything on my first attempt and Idk if I could have without this channel lol
thanks for these videos!!! I took my practical tonight and now i’m officially an EMT😀
Congrats Owen! Never stop learning!!
Just started EMT course and these videos are such a good study resource. I would love if you could upload more videos with different scenarios.
Thanks for the compliment Andrew! We've got more videos in the works. Stay tuned!
I have my skills test saturday very nervous but these videos are helping me memorize the steps :) feeling a bit more confident
You've got this Jenesa! Best of luck on your test! Be sure to let us know how it goes.
I needed this! I have my Psychomotor tomorrow and although I felt okay, this helped me become fully confident
Start my basic in a month, binging these videos beforehand lol
Make sure you know your anatomy really REALLY WELL! I'd say that would help you even more.
Pending I pass my written final tomorrow, I have my class skills assessments in the afternoon, and then theoretically my national registry skills on Sunday. Excited but definitely nervous for sure
Preparing for my skills practical tomorrow and these videos have really helped me feel more prepared and confident with the steps for my test. Thank you!
So happy we've been able to help Emma! Best of luck on your test. Let us know how it goes!
I passed every skill without having to retest! Thanks again! 😄
You rocked it Emma! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Never stop learning!!!
All the videos from EMTprep helped me a lot. I view them all the time. Thanks!
That is awesome Machel! Glad we can help. Be sure to let us know how your test goes.
Sorry for the delay. I passed the test for the third time with ease, with time still left on the clock. Emtprep helped me a lot. Thank you!!!
Thank you for these videos. I am using them to help prepare for my skills exam.
Passed first time thanks to your videos! You guys rock!
Super stoked for you! Congratulations!!!! Never stop learning.
Working on my EMT certification and this helped a lot
Your videos are an Awesome addition to my class, Thanks!
That’s almost exactly how I learned and was tested in combat trauma management school when I was in the Navy. Cool.
You'll see that most of the things we do are based on wartime medicine. The first book of BLS trauma was essentially written in Vietnam, no better way to get large scale data than when you have hundreds of different traumas to test procedures on!
Going for my states today 🙏🙏🙏 thank you for all the videos
Remember, trauma order is B-ABC, Controlling life threatening bleeding comes before anything else in the assessment.
Or as we were taught "CAB" Circulation, Airway, then Breathing. So you wont be confused with the two B's
totally. I was kinda surprised he didn't approach the leg issue sooner and add pressure to stop bleeding, and/or traction splint.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! Theses videos were very helpful, First time go's on all skills! Thanks again!
The Crazy Amazing infantry pete Rapps Glad you like them!
I start classes for my EMT cert in october. I am so glad i found this channel! Needless to say i'll be on here a lot :P

Best of luck! You've got this!
@@Emtprep was not expecting a reply but I passed today! Take my registry exam Friday! Appreciate all you guy and gals do for us. Thanks again!
i remembered my EMT-B class of 2015. missing my EMT days :(
I am taking my practicals in 10-14 days from now. I’m getting nervous.
Me too
@@UnityJourneyOfHope good luck. You can do it
I’ve been freaking out about this since I started the class
You'll knock it out, try not to worry! Watch our videos on how to study, check out EMTprep.com for a bunch of great resources, and you'll do great. Supplement our test prep product with your textbook and class notes and you'll be certified in no time!
Thanks for this video. I start my course next week. The test at the end looms ever closer, lol. Its prospect seems 'slightly' less intimidating after watching this video.

great description and guide to study.
how often does the LA or overall County Protocol/ Scope change? general quest. thank you
passed the NREMT! thanks for the help!
What awesome news!!!! Congratulations to you! We're so excited we got to play a small part in helping you reach your career goals. Never stop learning!!!!
These prep videos are great for review. Wondered on this trauma asssessment and management vid why the EMT didn't call for a 2nd medic (he had 2 available) to take C-spine immobilization and then we see a C-collar applied since it was a motor vehicle ejection!
Hey Raul, definitely something he could have done. Good thinking!!
I just appreciate your wonderful resources! Thank you!!
Got my test this Friday been watching this for weeks
Let us know how it goes!
@@Emtprep i passed first try
O2 , C-collar , stop any bleeding , LATER ( Load And Treat En Route ) and meet on the way , minimal scene time if possible , detailed secondary done en-route , Time critical patient .
+Kiwi Ambo Sounds like a good game plan Kiwi!
I think there is time for 02 and a c-collar she was launched 30ft from a vehicle don’t you think that’s pretty important?
No DCAP-BTLS??
I'm doing this soon for my emt. We've been practicing but I still get super nervous and skip steps by mistake. Thanks for the video, this will help alot with my assessment.
Also we palpated the back and checked for broken bones.
***** Great work Rodrigo! We're very excited that you're finding these videos helpful.

If her R.R. was 30, that would be considered inadequate breathing in which you should ventilate your patient via BVM with supplement O2 15 LPM.
He put her on O2
+Miguel Reyes yes he did, but since her R.R. was pretty inadequate, you would need to ventilate via BVM because the R.R. is so high. Nonrebreather is okay, but BVM is the best in my opinion. At least that is what i learned when I was going through EMT school.
+Miguel Reyes Yes that's true.... A patient with any type of respiratory distress or problems should have supplemental O2 whether that is 2-6 LPM on NC or 12-15 LPM on NRB; however, my point was the way he delivered the O2 should have been via BVM instead of NRB. With a BVM you can rather attempt to control the patient's breathing, thus putting her back in the ideal range of R.R. 12-20. The easiest way to think of it is inadequate breathing- breath for them BVM and adequate breathing- they got it NRB or NC. The reason it is so important to control the breathing is because at the rate of 30 she is blowing off way too much CO2 putting her at risk for respiratory alkalosis. +Buck1223
+That Guy Hill That is the way I learned it!
+That Guy Hill you have no idea how much I have been looking for this answer. I have my Skills training tomorrow and I am kinda freaking out about not passing it. This really does help.
This is a great way to learn emt skills
thank you Nremt, I pass my first spine skill.
I take the psychomotor test tomorrow for 68w ait and it's so weird to see the differences. Instead of the proctor giving us vitals or lung sounds we have to personally determine them and are graded upon it
This really helped with my NREMT Practical skills thanks a lot!
Great to hear Nayden!
Im 14 and I really want to be in the ems when I grow up and I love these videos!
Hey Vanessa, wow, sounds like you're squared away! We'd highly recommend going to college and getting a degree in something other than EMS. Get your bachelors in a topic you're interested in or passionate about, that is outside of the EMS realm, but maybe supplements it. Consider taking an EMT class while you're in college and getting some experience by working PT for an ambulance company. Once you have a Bachelors, head to Medic school and you'll be ahead of the game. Plus, should EMS burn you out or you decide you want to do something else 10 years later, you'll have a bachelors to fall back on.
EMTprep that sounds like a smart path to take 👍🏻 Medic school is really expensive though isn’t it?
It’ll cost you anywhere from $7500-18000. Really depends on where you live. It’s not cheap, but it’s not quite as expensive as other schooling.
EMTprep cool, I would love to be able to go to medic school! Hopefully I’ll be able to do so. Thank you!
First thing I saw was off is that he mentioned he would take c-spine precaution but he spoke to the patient before maintaining her head and as you can see in the video she moved her head after he moved on from verbal stimuli to painful stimuli which was not taking proper precaution and could have caused further complications.
Great video I felt like I can learn a lot from your channel
wow....u saved my exam.. thanks a lot
Absolutely Vineeth, happy to help
A quick review did not show any critical failures, however many fine points were missed as Danny pointed out. This would be an excellent training video to play and pause for student critiques.
I’m about to take my assessments in a couple days. New York State. I’m assuming I have to actually take the vitals and not verbalize them, because on the skill sheet, it says +/- 10 for each of the vitals (systolic, diastolic, pulse, respirations). I failed my stations a month ago, and I probably failed for not actually taking the blood pressure
Is anyone else thinking early development of a tension pneumothorax?
I'm thinking flail chest
That was my first assumption right before i heard the skin condition and the second set of vitals, first stage of hypovolemic shock. Since there isn't any abnormal chest movements it sounds more like a hemothorax.
could be, but with a tension pneumothorax you would be looking for tracheal deviation.
The Bro Era just because there is no abnormal chest movements doesn't she doesnt have tension pneumothorax actually tension pneumothorax has a sign which is tracheal deviation towards the uninjured side lung due to pressure of injured lung pushing towards uninjured side. especially when you have occlusive dressing over injured area burp the dressing get the air acculumated out
yep exactly nice JDuke98
With the tenderness on the R chest, are they not looking for you to stabilize for broken ribs or look closer for a flail segment?
Nice video. It would be nice to see the injuries of the person being treated as well according to the EMT's findings. A visual hands-on view is better to observe instead of just talking through the assessment.
Don’t have a job yet doing my recertification hope I can renew my license
I have my state practical exam this Sunday. I’m so nervous and would appreciate your prayers.
You got it Noah, best of luck! Let us know how it goes!
Is the test-taker an actual EMT student testing on these skills? Or is this just for demonstration purposes?
Shouldn't we check when moving to backboard for quick back side sweep for any bleeding or injuries ?
Thank you for these videos, i wish to be as calm as him.Taking my skills test tomorrow !! Wish me luck 🤞🏽🍀
How did you do?
How'd it go Marilyn?
I passed all skills 🤓
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Never stop learning!
Marilyn G congratulations!! Any tips?
Best video ever!!! Awesome!!!
I know he assessed that the bleeding was minimal on her knee, but I learned that if you see any type of bleeding you figure out if it’s serious or not before anything else. If it is serious stop the bleeding even before checking airway because if she’s bleeding out, oxygenating her blood isn’t going to do you any good if she’s dead.
James Ciliberti instructor said little bleeding. No need to spend time on it
on my test I was told we would actually have to place the patient on the spine board if it was a needed intervention (as it almost certainly will be)..
Hey Mike, definitely do as you're told on test day. Sometimes there are differences between test centers, some will want to see everything, some will want you to verbalize everything.
Thank you for the video.
