NREMT Long Bone Immobilization

Demonstration of Long Bone Immobilization by YNHSH Staff for NREMT Psychomotor Exam

[@drew25music]

Awesome video. I'm in EMT-B now and we're learning this in a few weeks. I'm trying to be ahead. It's never too early to study for NREMT.

[@FernandoFlores-xi3mh]

Very good!! Keep it up, and good luck my friend.

[@alanbricker8420]

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.

[@charlesmcdaniel2535]

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.

[@HeavenlySunset24]

Ya haha omg

[@michaelu2562]

😂😂 true I could not imagine what a traction would be like

[@yourmom2819]

Pain is the patients problem

[@thecosmickid545]

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

[@yowhattupitzbigchungus4971]

TheCosmicKid how did it go??? I have mine Saturday so nervous!

[@luisinthia8900]

Mines tomorrow i haven’t gotten on this in a cool min

[@nataliandjago5969]

awesome videos thanx guy's never New about studying on KZbin.

[@theronskier1]

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.

[@asherlisus395]

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?

[@rhoonah5849]

Maybe wrap the leg with a towel to provide some padding prior to cranking down on the ties? Also use ice on the knee for swelling and pain control.

[@wadegill1899]

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.

[@drlucasmd28]

They taught us a completely different way of doing this

[@wadegill1899]

I swear its immobilize the joint above and below the fracture. Its a tibial fracture. bone not a joint

[@Mattyice98]

Pulse through shoe, Kyle?

[@scotchmilner208]

Mwenda Rukunga that’s a strong pulse lol

[@tommyregister]

Definitely some hypertension going on there. haha

[@boridebrooklyn8300]

Ha😅

[@lesliet.538]

I have my NREMT tomorrow 😬

[@destinyr5624]

Hey! How did it go?

[@lesliet.538]

@@destinyr5624 I passed the psychomotor exam. I'm soon to take the written exam.

[@ESPguitaristozzy]

And how did that go?

[@simplyrhey]

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

[@israelborder1188]

Hello I'm in Indonesia. Are there is any online course for this?

[@CM-hr8ou]

Did you check CMS before, and after?

[@ashleyisnicole1045]

Did you watch the whole video?

[@HeavenlySunset24]

Omg he should have explained he was gonna move the leg BEFORE he moved it.

[@mielokasmallwood2943]

Why does his leg actually look Cockeyed.... 😕

[@sunnyrastin]

I was just thinking of it🤣

[@johnmcfarlane3147]

They actually broke his leg for added authenticity

[@Fritz___]

Could be runner's knee syndrome...

[@nicolemor0217]

This is for a femur fracture, correct?

[@wilndume6638]

He said tibia

[@muhammadshahzadkhan6341]

He said a tibia then large splint Ware rong to use

[@carsondudley7128]

This would be for a long bone fracture here. When we have a suspected femur fracture we would be thinking about using a traction splint actually.

[@ajj6557]

The femur breaker

[@knighthauler2529]

Waaaay out of date. New techniques available now.

[@edwardbennett959]

I would imagine you would do this in the back of the ambulance or backboard which may be unecessary

[@rhoonah5849]

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.

[@edwardbennett959]
