I am taking the EMT exam this Saturday and reviewing what needs to be done. When it comes to long bone saddling the foot I become lost.
So say we have an injury located on the left leg tibia superior to the tarsal
Scene Safe/BSI
Provide Manual Stabilization
Measure Boards/Equipment
Apply Splint/Use Cravats
For joint below and above/Bone below and above
Lay cravat between both legs at the top (Fourth)
Cravat above the patella (Tie First)
Cravat below the patella above the injured site ( Second)
Cravat below the injured site (Third)
Final Cravat is to saddle the foot…Where I become loss
I cannot remember if cravat first goes above or below the foot.
I am thinking cravat goes below, then over the boards, then under the board, then crosses over the foot, and tie on the bottom of the foot.
Second question is the KED
When placing the KED on the longboard do you know what order to strap them in? I am thinking legs, head, and then chest.
Appreciate the response.
