National Registry EMT Cardiac Arrest Management/AED

National Registry EMT Cardiac Arrest Management/AED
This is a ten(10) minute station where you will be evaluated on your treatment of a patient found in cardiac arrest

[@michaelreyes2301]

Only one correction on my part, once the AED says analyzing and charging, no one should touch the patient from that point on until after the shock has been delivered.

[@kreygrant3994]

AHA Guidelines have since adjusted that rule. You want to minimize the pauses in between compressions. Likewise the key components are high quality CPR and early defib. Therefore you should not withhold CPR to a patient while the Defibrillator is charging.

In the beginning, the proctor states that you are there by yourself and there are no bystanders but the emt says that he tells his partner to go get the AED. Is that a mistake?

[@yalenewhavenhealthcenterfo8754]

That is the direct verbiage from the NREMT

[@michaelreyes2301]

Perhaps it is presumed "alone" meaning to be him and his partner since no EMT drives to scenes and treats alone.@@yalenewhavenhealthcenterfo8754

Did anyone notice the candidate attempted 3 rescue breaths at the end of the 4th cycle, before beginning the 5th cycle of CPR? 3:12 kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5Lce6erfMaGr6M

[@yalenewhavenhealthcenterfo8754]

That is because the first ventilation did not go in or provide adequate chest rise. The candidate readjusted the BVM seal and gave two appropriate breaths with adequate chest rise.

I counted 12 seconds of cpr. I believe it’s 15

Its 30:2

What if patient had a pulse isn’t breathing

[@yalenewhavenhealthcenterfo8754]

Then the patient would require "Rescue Breathing" only. For an adult patient this would mean providing one(1) breath every five(5) seconds via a BVM. If it was a pediatric patient then they would require one(1) breath every three(3) seconds via a BVM

Great job

[@HyenaBellaDanceNSing]

Could this also mean a possible overdose

[@obeewankanobee4351]

@@HyenaBellaDanceNSing still need a pulse and oxygen regardless of cause , usually the priority for treatment is ABC's, Airway, Breathing, Circulatory :)
