Question about the NREMT practicals, In trauma, is ventilating with a BVM wher RR is 24 and shallow instead of using a NRB a critical fail? My examiner told me the Pt. does not tolerate the BVM so i said i would switch to NRB. I thought shallow was supposed to be BVM? Is that a fail?
 
If you tried to ventilate with a BVM and were told the pt isn't tolerating it, and you went to a NRB, I doubt you failed....at least not for that reason.

If anything the person testing you might have preferred you went straight to the NRB and said the pt wasn't tolerating the BVM as a way to let you know it wasn't yet appropriate. At least that's how I would interpret it.
 
No, I doubt you failed. If you get all the skills done in the correct time it is a pass. If he actually said the pt wasn't tolerating it, he was allowed to give you that pointer. You then changing courses to the correct action is a check mark for the right treatment. If it was a critical fail, he wouldn't have said a thing and marked it as a fail or no point
