Emergency Medical Technician (EMT)-EMT Guidance and Training

Example

Responding to a 911 call for a car accident with potential spinal injuries.

Scenario

EMTs quickly arrive on scene, assess the patient's condition, immobilize the spine, and transport the patient to the nearest hospital while monitoring vital signs.

Example

Administering CPR to a person experiencing sudden cardiac arrest.

Scenario

EMTs perform CPR and use an AED to provide shocks if necessary, working to stabilize the patient's heart rhythm until they can be transferred to a medical facility.

Example

Assessing a patient experiencing an asthma attack and administering appropriate medication.

Scenario

EMTs assess the patient's respiratory status, provide oxygen, and administer nebulized albuterol to relieve the asthma attack, preparing the patient for safe transport to the hospital.

Example

Managing bleeding and possible internal injuries following a physical assault.

Scenario

EMTs control bleeding with pressure and bandages, assess for signs of internal injuries, and stabilize the patient for transport, ensuring continuous monitoring and care en route to the hospital.

Example

Assisting in the delivery of a baby when a mother goes into unexpected labor at home.

Scenario

EMTs provide support for the mother during delivery, ensuring the baby's airway is clear and both mother and newborn are stable and ready for immediate transport to the hospital for further care.
