10: What is the biggest difference between EMT-Is and EMT-Ps?
EMT-Is are not trained in advanced airway management.
EMT-Ps are certified in water rescue and vehicle motor extraction, unlike EMT-Is.
EMT-Is do not have as in-depth cardiac training and usually administer fewer medications.
EMT-Ps are certified to perform invasive procedures, unlike EMT-Is. (1) Today, where a definition of the moment of death is required, doctors and coroners usually turn to "brain death" or "biological death": People are considered dead when the electrical activity in their brain ceases (cf. persistent vegetative state).
(2) The nine key IC systems are (alphabetically): cardiovascular system, central nervous system, endocrine system, gastro-intestinal tract (and nutritional condition), hematology, microbiology (including sepsis status), peripheries (and skin), renal (and metabolic), respiratory system.
Answer is lymphatic system.
(4) An outpatient is a patient who is not hospitalized overnight but who visits a hospital, clinic, or associated facility for diagnosis or treatment. Treatment provided in this fashion is called ambulatory care. Outpatient surgery eliminates inpatient hospital admission, reduces the amount of medication prescribed, and uses a doctor's time more efficiently. More procedures are now being performed in a surgeon's office, termed office-based surgery, rather than in an operating room. Outpatient surgery is suited best for healthy people undergoing minor or intermediate procedures (limited urologic, ophthalmologic, or ear, nose, and throat procedures and procedures involving the extremities).
An inpatient on the other hand is "admitted" to the hospital and stays overnight or for an indeterminate time, usually several days or weeks (though some cases, like coma patients, have stayed in hospitals for years).
(5) Blood circulation and oxygenation are absolute requirements in transporting oxygen to the tissues. The brain may sustain damage after blood flow has been stopped for about four minutes and irreversible damage after about seven minutes. If blood flow ceases for 1 or 2 hours, the cells of the body die unless they get an adequately gradual bloodflow, (provided by cooling and gradual warming, rarely, in nature [such as in a cold stream of water] or by an advanced medical team).
(6) On average, only 5%-10% of people who receive CPR survive.
(7) As the key skill to first aid is preserving life, the single most important training a first aider can receive is in the primary diagnosis and care of an unconscious or unresponsive patient. The most common mnemonic used to remember the procedure for this is ABC, which stands for Airway, Breathing and Circulation.
(9) Answer is Skeletal system.
(10) Intermediate Levels of EMT
EMT-Intermediates are the levels of training between basic (EMT-B) and paramedic (EMT-P). There are currently two intermediate levels that are tested for by the NREMT, the EMT-I/85 and the EMT-I/99, with the 1999 level being the more advanced of the two. The standard curriculum for EMT-I from 1998 is defined by the NHTSA, but each state may not have implemented or approved this program. [9] Outside of the NHTSA framework, some states have instituted their own intermediate EMT levels using a variety of names (e.g. EMT-II (2) in California or the levels of Advanced EMT-Intermediate and Advanced EMT-Critical Care in New York.
EMT-I/85
EMT-I/85 is a level of training that will typically allow several more invasive procedures than are allowed at the basic level, including IV therapy, the use of multi-lumen airway devices (even endotracheal intubation in some states), and provides for enhanced assessment skills.
EMT-I/99
The EMT-I/99 represents a higher level than the EMT-I/85 with an expanded scope of practice, such as cardiac monitoring and the administration of additional pharmaceutical interventions, as well as additional training time.
EMT-Paramedics, who are commonly referred to as simply "paramedics," represents the highest level of EMT, and in general (major exception being flight crews on air ambulances regularly include nurses and physicians), the highest level of prehospital medical provider. Paramedics perform a variety of medical procedures such as fluid resuscitation, pharmaceutical administration, obtaining IV access, cardiac monitoring (continuous and 12-lead), and other advanced procedures and assessments.
Please note that I am not a medical professional. Wow. I can't believe you put all those questions on here.
Perhaps it's in the best interest of everyone that you pursue something you'd be more adept and intrigued by.Something where no matter how unlearned you were or how bad you messed up no innocent lives would be lost.
Say....
McDonald's drive thru or test dummy perhaps ? If you need some of the questions you don't explain, then please ask that. Don't list all your homework/study questions, and expect people to do your work. This is life and death stuff here. I don't mind helping some, but you need to do some on your own. If you're training to be an EMT, perhaps it's in your best interest to learn the material yourself. I certainly wouldn't want to call 911 and have a clueless person show up. |
