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.
Can you do patient medical assessment?
Hi Mark! Thanks for watching the video. A medical assessment video is on the list for the future, so keep an eye out!
