This document outlines the steps for an EMT skills assessment station on cardiac arrest management and use of an automated external defibrillator (AED). The assessment involves arriving on the scene of a patient in cardiac arrest, immediately taking control of the scene and providing care to the patient, controlling the patient's airway, and ventilating the patient using adjunctive equipment such as an AED at the appropriate time.

Importance of cpr 2010
This is a slightly updated version of a previous lecture on the science behind CPR. I have deleted the older version to avoid confusion, though they are both essentially the same
This lecture is good for first responders of all levels (from lifegaurds to paramedics) to really bring home the importance of CPR. It has been my experiance that current CPR classess are lacking in this regard, therefore compliance with new CPR standards is lacking, and this promotes LAZY CPR. This is my attempt to remedy that issue.
How To Save A Life by Ana Granados
This document provides instructions for performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to save someone's life in an emergency situation. It outlines the basic steps to take which are to protect the injured person, alert emergency services, and help by providing CPR including 30 chest compressions followed by 2 breaths. It emphasizes that survival depends on bystanders who are willing and able to perform CPR until emergency responders arrive with an automated external defibrillator if needed.
Cpr
In cardiopulmonary resuscitation procedure there are various institutes all over the world who send trained professional to go door to door to give CPR training to people, usually with audio/visual stimulation. In an attempt to get more people to perform CPR, there are some guidelines which help you to performing CPR better.
CPR( Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
(1) Adult Basic Life Support (BLS) involves checking for safety, assessing responsiveness, calling for help, opening the airway, checking breathing and pulse, performing chest compressions, using an automated external defibrillator (AED), and administering medications.
(2) The key steps are to check for safety, tap and ask the victim to respond, call for emergency services, open the airway, give rescue breaths in a 30:2 ratio with compressions for adults, check the carotid pulse, perform chest compressions, use an AED if available, and administer drugs like atropine, adrenaline, vasopresin, amiodarone, or lidocaine as indicated.
Basics of cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
The correct technique of administering CPR has to be known by every doctor. the article provides a stepwise algorithm of CPR.
12.cardiopulmonary resuscitation (88) Dr. RAHUL TIWARI
This document discusses cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency procedures. It defines CPR as manually preserving brain function until spontaneous circulation and breathing can be restored. The document outlines the history of CPR and describes the basic life support process of ensuring an open airway, providing rescue breaths, and performing external cardiac massage at a rate of 100 compressions per minute. It emphasizes the importance of early CPR and defibrillation to maximize chances of survival and neurological recovery.
Naloxone admin
The document summarizes updates made to the New York State EMS protocols and policies allowing for basic life support providers to administer intranasal naloxone to patients experiencing an opioid overdose. It discusses the growing problem of prescription opioid overdoses nationally and in New York. The policy change is intended to respond to this public health crisis and is informed by guidelines from organizations like SAMHSA on responding to opioid overdoses.
Spinal immobilization supine
This document provides instructions for properly applying a cervical collar during an EMT skills assessment station involving spinal immobilization of a supine patient. Key steps include placing the chin support under the chin and adjusting the size if needed, pulling the back of the collar snug while holding the front in place and fastening it, and for a supine patient, sliding the rear panel behind the neck before placing the chin support. It also notes that cannula hooks are provided for securing supplemental oxygen lines and that the scenario involves immobilizing an unstable spine using a long spine device with the help of an assistant EMT and evaluator.

Patient assessment trauma
This station tests the ability to perform a full patient assessment of a victim with multiple traumatic injuries. The EMT candidate must conduct and verbalize their assessment as they would in the field, which may include removing some clothing. Any clinical information not visible or detectable through physical exam will be provided after the candidate indicates how they would normally obtain it. The candidate has 10 minutes to complete the assessment and must direct the treatment of two assisting EMTs based on their findings.
Patient assessment medical
Patient assessment is a critical EMT skill that is tested in NYS EMT-B certification exams. The exam assesses both medical and trauma patient assessments through skill stations that simulate real-world scenarios. Candidates have 10 minutes to conduct a full patient assessment, including scene size-up, primary assessment, and verbalizing treatments for any conditions found. Examiners provide additional clinical information not observable and candidates can direct simulated EMT partners to assist with treatments. The skill sheet is used to evaluate candidates' performance on the key components of patient assessment.
Hemorrhage control
You will be evaluated on your ability to control bleeding and manage shock. You must demonstrate how to properly apply direct pressure, elevate the wound, and apply a dressing and bandage to control bleeding. You also need to assess and treat for shock, including positioning the patient, keeping them warm and comfortable, and monitoring their condition.
Airway ventilation
This document outlines the skills assessment stations for the NYS EMT-B exam, including bag-valve-mask ventilation for an apneic patient with a pulse using one and two rescuers, use of upper airway adjuncts and suction, and supplemental oxygen administration. For each station, it provides the scenario description and the corresponding skills sheet to be used for evaluation.
Splinting
This document outlines 3 skills assessment stations for an EMT-B exam:
1) Long bone immobilization for injuries like the radius or tibia. Candidates must immobilize the isolated injury within 10 minutes.
2) Shoulder joint immobilization for non-complicated injuries. Again, candidates have 10 minutes to immobilize the isolated injury.
3) Application of a traction splint for a mid-shaft femur fracture with assistance from an EMT. Candidates are tested on properly immobilizing the isolated femur injury within the 10 minute time limit.
Spinal immobilization seated
1) The document provides instructions for properly applying a cervical collar to immobilize the spine of a seated patient.
2) It describes how to size, position, and secure the collar, including placing the chin support under the chin and pulling the back of the collar snug while holding the front in place.
3) Alternatives to collars for spinal immobilization and the scenario of arriving on the scene of a car crash with one stable patient who requires spinal immobilization using a short device are also outlined.

- 5. Integration
- 7. And so……let’s get started! As you arrive on the scene you find a patient on the floor. You must immediately establish control of the scene and care of the patient. At the appropriate time, the patient’s airway must be controlled and you must ventilate or direct the ventilation of the patient using adjunctive equipment.
