I have veiwed many videos and other training materials for the practicals. -- especially the trauma assement.
I have always understood that you would have two ghost EMTs. Now I am told only one. Aslo, on every video I watched they actually did a rapid trauma accessment, and then the detailed en-route. also, they all included doing a separate "blood sweep'" there-by finishing the circulation part of the ABCs before going on to transport decicion.
During paractice, I did all this the way I learned -- on my own. Athought i got a perfect score (it took the whole 10 min) i was criticised for doing a rapid trauma and a detailed. It does say "DETAILED" -- as in "detailed physical exam." I was also criticized for doing a blood sweep. Redundant.
By doing the rapid, I was able to verbalize c-collar before goning on to the chest, allowing me to fully access the neck.
The other students did a rapid only, but the instructor marked everything they did under the "detailed exam" section. i'm lost now. i thought i had this all down.
Now iIam totally confused, and my practicals are on Saturday, May 24th.
We will have diffeerent proctors for the real thing, but now i don't know what to espect. Have I practiced everything wrong?
any clarification?
