    Respiratory vs. Stretcher

    very cute guys, but your right. Heart was racing and adrenaline was kicking, I could have pulled back on the stretcher to have him slow down. The reason we have the stretcher present is to have the back board on it along with the BLS bag and suction. We should limit out equipment since we can't...

    Respiratory vs. Stretcher

    and you're right. I was walking at a good pace, enough to get there in a rush, because even if we're going to that person we had to look around at our surroundings to make sure she didn't pass out because some chemical leak somewhere near her. But my partner "Mr Gun-Hoe" was in a rush to get...

    Advanced Airway: unconscious to conscious

    holy moly, I know that but I thought I share this tough question because as a EMT-B we won't do that transport. But out of those choices given I didn't know what would be the answer.

    Advanced Airway: unconscious to conscious

    EMT-B and it was a scenario question that was on a quiz. I don't know why this question was brought into this quiz but I didn't know the answer so I brought to this site. I'm not asking anybody to take the NREMT for me. I am practicing to retake the test and on one of the books I bought to...
