A 55-year-old male is complaining of mild shortness of breath. SpO2 is 92%. You decide to initiate oxygen via nasal cannula. What is the recommended flow rate range and the approximate percentage of oxygen delivered per liter?
Show answer →Flow rate: 1-6 L/min. FiO2: 24-44%. The oxygen concentration increases by approximately 4% for every 1 L/min increase (1L = 24%, 2L = 28%, up to 6L = 44%). NREMT Tip: Flow rates above 6 L/min are ineffective as they dry out the nasal mucosa without significantly increasing the FiO2 due to the anatomical dead space limit. Use for patients in mild distress or those who cannot tolerate a mask.
In the context of the Platinum 10 Minutes, what is the primary goal for EMTs on the scene of a multisystem trauma patient in shock?
Show answer →To complete all life-saving assessments and interventions (ABCs, life-threatening bleeding control, immobilization) and initiate transport within 10 minutes of arrival. Shock management is time-sensitive; definitive care (surgery/blood products) usually happens at the hospital. NREMT Tip: Do not perform non-essential tasks on scene (e.g., splinting minor fractures or detailed secondary assessments). Treat life threats and move. Assessment should be ongoing in the back of the ambulance.
A patient has a deep wound in the inguinal fold (groin) that is bleeding profusely. A tourniquet cannot be applied due to the location. What is the most appropriate management?
Show answer →This is a junctional hemorrhage. Manage by applying direct pressure followed by packing the wound with hemostatic gauze (e.g., QuikClot) or plain gauze if hemostatic is unavailable. Maintain continuous pressure for at least 3 minutes (or longer for plain gauze) after packing. NREMT Focus: Recognize that standard windlass TQs are for extremities only. Junctional areas (groin, axilla, neck) require wound packing and aggressive direct pressure.
A patient has a large open wound to the jaw and neck. You apply an occlusive dressing. Why must you remain at the patient's head and frequently reassess the airway?
Show answer →Risk of vomiting and aspiration, or blood accumulation beneath the dressing. Facial and neck trauma often involve significant bleeding into the oropharynx. If the patient's airway is compromised by fluids, the occlusive dressing doesn't help with ventilation. NREMT Strategy: Reassessment is key. If the patient's mental status declines, be prepared to log-roll them and suction the airway.
A 6-year-old child was submerged for 30 seconds, coughed a few times, but now appears completely normal with a SpO2 of 98% on room air. The parents wish to refuse transport. What is the most critical education to provide?
Show answer →All drowning victims, even those who appear asymptomatic, must be transported for evaluation. Pathophysiological changes, such as surfactant washout leading to delayed pulmonary edema (formerly called secondary drowning), can develop up to 24 hours later. A child who looks fine now may develop severe respiratory distress later. Exam Tip: Delayed onset of symptoms is a high-yield NREMT concept. Transport is always indicated for any submersion event involving respiratory symptoms or altered mental status.
