I am currently in EMT class and one of the first things we learned was to never stand an oxygen tank on its flat bottom, always have it lying on its side. We were also told to verbalize what method of opening the airway we were using (jaw thrust or head tilt chin lift) and to verbalize we were using the EC method to make a seal of the mask to patients face. Not trying to nitpick, but our instructor said our proctors will nitpick us doing our practical. Great informative test prep videos nonetheless. Thank you very much for the videos.

“Is there anything else you’d like to do” always gets me 😭🤧

I use to be in the EMS field back in the early 80's, now with a aging mother with some medical conditions? I find myself returning to these BLS procedures . Im glad i discovered the channel here as a great reference guide . To be honest though. I really don't plan on doing a lot of the techniques but i will get my C.P.R. card and do a advance first aid class of which should with this video of refeshing certain techniques will come in handy. In close. Watching these great video's certainly takes me back in time to when i took my class in EMS, EMT B classes. Thanks. 👍

pro tip: you’re actually looking for TWO things for adequate ventilation. bilateral or equal chest rise and fall AND no gastric distinction. gastric distention meaning no air in the stomach. if you or your partner notice the stomach rising at any point, stop ventilation briefly and reassess and reestablish your airway.

Not me watching this video a million times over before my midterm exam tonight 😅

EMTpret out here doing GODS WORK! THANKS A LOT!

[miguelcruz]

Great video! Really breaks down step by step in such a basic teachable way. Only thing is verbalize that you're going to suction no more then 15 seconds! Other than that spot on.

Thank you so much for these videos! I have my exams for EMT-B next month and these are a huge help.

[Jessp]

Good video except that having the O2 tank standing up is a critical fail in the exam

[ryanbauer]

I didn't know Dr. Mark Greene from ER was an EMT before going to med school. Nice video, thanks!

[danniellewiltshire]

Thanks so much for the great videos! They were very helpful for myself as well as my classmates for our NREMT!

[dakotahallen]

In case yall didn't know, the O2 tank is standing up when it should be laid down. Totally kidding ;) great videos!!!! I recommend yall to my class mates, the videos and your testprep

[thecandysama]

When during exam I got asked the question "Is there anything else you'd like to do", I would usually stare at the patient, look at the examiner for some clue then look at the patient again then at the examiner again and blank out. I can never confidently say "I don't have anything to do anymore"

Thank you for these videos, they are so helpful while i am currently getting EMT cetified

[sherylbarrone]

The tank standing up isn't as bad as the be every 5-6 seconds not every 2 or 3. These videos are great learning tools and they did a great job. Just remember no one is perfect.

[lexaschocke]

I'm soooo happy I found these! total lifesaver! no pun intended lol ;)

[Buck]

Great job. I've always been taught to measure the OPA before inserting but other than that I thought you guys did really well. Very smooth.

Suggestion:  Always place the O2 tank on its side!  You can see how it is unstable while on its end in the video.  Having said this, these videos are extremely helpful.  Thanks!
