EMT 1020 - Airway Management Respirations and Artificial Ventilations
Clock Hours: 30
Delivery Mode on-ground
Course Description: Every patient must have a patent airway to survive. In this lesson the student will learn when the airway is obstructed. An EMT-Basic must clear it as soon as possible using the methods described. Once the airway has been opened, the EMT-Basic must determine if breathing is adequate. Patients with inadequate breathing must be artificially ventilated using mouth-to-mouth, mouth-to-mask, bag-valve-mask or flow restricted, oxygen-powered ventilation device. If the patient has adequate breathing, the EMT-Basic must decide if oxygen is indicated. If oxygen is necessary, the EMT-Basic must select the appropriate device and follow the procedure for delivery.
Student Learning Outcomes: Students will be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
- Name and label the major structures of the respiratory system on a diagram.
