Yes! The airway adjunct helps to keep the airway open for better compliance when using the BVM.

Glad you like them!

@@IdahoMedicalAcademy Do y'all have any lectures up on chapter 11 airway management yet?

Haha! Yes both very great options! Whatever works right!

That can definitely be one con to pinching the wings together as you poke. It is possible to adjust to see flash with this hold with practice. We teach multiple methods in our course. This instructor prefers to hold the wings because she feels it gives her more control of the needle. There are alternative ways to hold the butterfly set that will allow you to see flash better! We absolutely support using whatever method makes you feel most the comfortable in your venipuncture!

Respiration is the process of drawing in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide. The primary purpose of respiration is the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide at the alveolar level (gas exchange).

@@NPhillips856 no respiration is the breakdown of glucose in cell to release energy

As stated on pg. 629 of Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured 12th ED "The principal function of the lungs is respiration, which is the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide".

That is called cellular respiration, or cellular metabolism, which is different that what the video is addressing.

@@IdahoMedicalAcademy alright

Yes! Thank you for your comment! It is true that the order of draw for the different green tubes should be Light green(PST), Dark Green (Lithium Hep), then Dark Green (Sodium Hep). The Order of draw sheet being used in the video had the dark green tube listed first and it was overlooked. Lavender and Pink have the same additive (EDTA) They can be drawn in either order. It was listed in the Phlebotomy Essentials book as Lavender then pink, that is why it is that way in the video. The main reason for the color difference is used to differentiate samples being sent to hematology vs blood bank. Sorry for the confusion here!

That will be dependent on your local protocols when in the field. The expectation for our students is to treat their medications as if they have standing orders and do not need a direct medical control order to administer.

Thanks for watching!!

They are definitely bigger! Donation needles are typically a 16 or 17 gauge needle in order to allow a larger volume of blood or plasma to be taken/returned in a reasonable amount of time.

Thanks for the comment!!

Happy to help!

So glad it was helpful!

Thanks for such a nice comment! We are so glad they are helping you in your education journey!

That's a great question, but unfortunately we don't have an answer for you on that one. You will need to contact the NREMT directly to see what accommodations they allow.

Good luck in your class and great job getting an early start with some learning materials!

Great to hear!

Hello! We are working on getting out videos for most chapters! Thanks!

That's awesome to hear we are so glad we can be a good learning tool!

Thanks for the comment! We are always so happy to know they are helping, and goof luck with your marathon!!

Our pleasure! Thanks for the comment!

Glad it helped!

You're very welcome! Thank you for all your comments and feedback we love to see it!

Yes! Lots of different tubes!

He's the best!

That's awesome to hear! Good luck in medic school!

Hi! Thanks for the comment! Removing the tourniquet before sanitizing allows time for the phlebotomist to gather supplies suitable for the vein selected. In the video we reapplied the tourniquet, sterilized the site, then performed the venipuncture. This order in procedure allows for maximum sterility when the initial venipuncture is performed, and allows us to remove the tourniquet within 1 minute without feeling rushed:)

You have to remove the tourniquet by one minute or you have a much greater risk of your sample becoming hemolyzed, which, in lab lingo, means your sample is useless. You remove it the first time so that you can gather your stuff for as long as you want and the sample's integrity is never compromised. Some people do leave it on if they're just about ready and if you can make it work in time then you're golden. It's just that the longer that tourniquet is on, the greater the chance that your sample is going to hemolyze and become absolutely useless for the lab.

Hi! We do currently have online training and you can find all the information you need to sign up at idahomedicalacademy.com!

We will begin to prepare for transport right after the primary assessment (ABC's) in a high priority patient (load and go). In a low priority patient we can wait until after the head to toe is completed (stay and play). When we actually move to the ambulance can depend on a number of factors such as number or personnel, need for c-spine immobilization, etc. So in real life the move to the ambulance may be a bit later than when patient priority is established.

So glad it was helpful!
