(Light/Dark…) Vital Signs Respiratory Exam
– Labored Breathing– Accessory Muscles– Amount of air exchanged– Aerobic vs Anaerobic– Wheezing/Rales– Alveoli
Section 1 – Introduction to EMS
Types & Stages of Shock– Cardiogenic/Hypovolemic– Early/Late (S/S)
Ficke Principle (Shock) Types of Bleeding PASG Usage (Ind/Cont.) OPA/NPA Sizing Rescue Breathing
Section 2 Non-Traumatic Emergencies Components of a drug

Practice for the Certification Exam
The Skills Stations(Facts, Figures & Pitfalls) Trauma Medical Airway / BVM Spinal (Supine especially, but know
KED too) Cardiac Arrest / AED Random Skills
Trauma
Most fail in the first minute or two of the station
C/C (critical criteria often affected)– BSI– Safety– C-Spine with airway– Oxygen– Secondary before primary– Ran out of time
Medical
C/C– Harmful Measures– NTG & Low B/P– No medical direction– Primary before secondary– Wrong intervention– Oxygen
Airway BVM
20 Seconds!!!
Spinal Immobilization
Immediate Immobilization Wrong Size C-collar NO C-Collar Poor Strapping Movement CMS/SMV/PMS Before & After
Cardiac Arrest / AED
CPR (Stop & Restart) Clear Patient Didn’t use defibrillator
Random Skills Traction
– Sager/Hare Oxygen Delivery Bleeding-Wounds-Shock Suction CPR/FBAO any combination of ages Long Bone Immobilization Joint Injury Mouth-to-mask (just like BVM only you are
the bag)
Paperwork
MUST HAVE ON 3/13/02– CWE Verification form (signed x 3)– SOAP Chart
