EMT Skills: Patient Assessment - Medical

In this video Firefighter/EMT Cody covers the Patient Assessment - Medical skill sheet. The sheet IMA uses is specific to our program, but the information should apply to any skill sheet that follows the traditional NREMT format.

For more practice we have a number of videos showing students going through medical assessment scenarios. Check those out to see this skill sheet in action!

This is quite literally the best breakdown I’ve seen for the skills assessment

Watched a few videos came across this one probably the most simple, quick but detailed video

Some of the best EMT, AEMT, and Paramedic videos on YouTube.

Haven’t seen one yet that wasn’t super helpful. It’s only a matter of time until your subscribers/views skyrocket with the effort put into these and the EMS community begins to see how well done these videos are.

I’m beginning to study and prepare for the fire academy in February and these are always great to listen to when commuting to and from work. I especially love the student ones.

Keep up the great work! It’s saving lives for sure!

Excellent Job!! I took my pt assessment final yesterday and thanks to this video I passed. Your suggestion to not stop and start investigating the chief complaint (something I was guilty of doing) until I completed my primary assessment was crucial to my passing!!

during the abc’s when your assessing breathing, would you recommend getting an SPO2 right away before administering O2
