EMTModule 1: Airway and Breathing
5Small Volume Nebulizer
• Small volume nebulizer are devices that contain a small chamber for fluid based medications to be placed. By flowing oxygen or air through the chamber at a sufficient rate, the fluid medication is aerosolized into a vapor mist that can be administered to the patient as they breath.
• Before beginning the administration of medication through a small volume nebulizer, ensure that appropriate (BSI) are in place and utilized.
• While the equipment that you will be using is not expected to remain sterile, it is important that you keep it clean. Replace any contaminated items.
• Reasons why small volume nebulizers may be used? Used in bronchial asthma and other reversable bronchospasm that is associated with chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
6Nebulizer
• During treatment have the patient breath in deeply if tolerated.
• Some patients may want to hold the nebulizer. If so let them.
• Repeat dosages. Check local protocols.
7Nebulizer With Mask
* Some patients such as the Elderly and Children may benefit with the use of a facemask when using a nebulizer

NG TUBESParamedic use only!
Indication:*Gastric destintion is present and interfering with ventilations.*When patients will be ventilated for long period of time.
Contraindication:*Caution in esophageal disease or esophageal traum.*Facial trauma.*Esophageal obstruction.
Advantages:*Tolerated by alert patients.*Doesn’t interfere with intubation.*Mitigates recurrent gastric distention.*Patient can still talk.
Disadvantages:*Uncomfortable for patients.*May cause patient to vomit.*Interfere with BVM,MTV,ATV.
Complications: Nasal gastric trauma from poor technique. ET placement.
32
OG TUBES
Indication:*Threat of aspiration.*Need to decrease pressure of the stomach on the diaphram.*Patient is unconscious.
Contraindication:*Caution in esophageal disease or esophageal trauma.*Esophageal obstruction.
EMT is allowed to use this device.
Advantages:*May use larger tubes.*Safer to insert in patients with facial Fractures.*Lower risk of nasal bleeding.
Disadvantages:*Uncomfortable for conscious patients.*May cause retching and vomiting with patients that have intact gag reflex.
Complications: Patient may bite the tube.
33
LABOrogastric Tubes
Not all supraglottic airways allow for the insertion of gastric tubes. The airways that do so include:*Combitube*King Airway*Esophageal Gastric Tube Airway*Laryngeal Mask Airway
Once the EMT has taken care of the ABC’s, they will develop and idea of whether there is a threat from gastric distention. Threats that indicate the need for gastric decompression.*Inability to adequatley ventilate due to increased lung resistance.*Vomiting.
34
End-Tidal
CO2 Monitoring
CO2 Monitoring/Caponography:*The amount of end tidal CO2 is an accurate indicator of the ability of the patient to exchange O2 for CO2 at the alveoli/capillary level. EMT’s can use this tool as a mechanism to assess the placement of airway devices as well as to guide them in the provisions of effective CPR.
35Colorimetric Device
Colorimetric devices use a chemically treated paper that responds to the level of CO2 in the air that interacts with the paper in the colorimetric device. The higher the CO2 level, the more color change.

Airway Placement
Confirmationusing End-Tidal CO2
The supraglottic airways placed by EMT’s are generally built such that they may be used in either the trachea or esophogus. The EMT must know in which location the tube is placed and ventilate appropriatley with the device. Using some form of end tidal CO2 monitoring allows the EMT to guage the effectiveness of the airway based off the amount of CO2 return.
44
Ensuring adequate
Ventilationsusing End-Tidal CO2
The EMT can use the end tidal CO2 readings as a mechanism to avoid hyperventilation or hypoventilation of the patient.

> 95 % “Normal”
91% - 94% Mild hypoxia.
86% - 90% Moderate hypoxia.
< 85% Severe hypoxia.
(Bledsoe, Porter & Cherry, 2007, 463)
56Oximetry – Troubleshooting
57Oximetry – 3 Basic Rules
Assess and treat patient, not the oximeter
Never withhold oxygen if S/S of hypoxia or hypoxemia are present – regardless of the reading on the oximeter
Pulse oximeters measure saturation of the hemoglobin, not oxygenation or ventilation.

LABNon-Invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring
One of the key concerns has been reliability of the non-invasive measurement as compared to manual auscultation. Rule of thumb. When you find a NIBP reading out of normal range for the context of your patient, double check it with a manual BP.
Appropriate cuff should cover 2/3 of the upper arm.
HAVE THE STUDENTS USE THE FORMULARY OVER THE MEDICATIONS TO STUDY AND FILLIN THE WORK BOOK AFTER THIS CLASS IS OVER. HAVE THEM TAKE IT HOME. SO NEXT CLASS CAN TAKE TEST, ASK QUESTIONS, FOCUSE MORE ON THE SKILL.

Pelvic WrapSplint
Any pelvic fracture is at risk for significant blood loss and the emt must stabalize the fracture appropriatley.Pelvic fractures can be splinted in a number of ways.*PASG*Sheet wrap*Inverted KED*Commercial pelvic splint

LABPelvic Splinting
PASG:*When using this as a splinting device, the EMT should apply the device and inflate it only enough to provide stabilization. When using the device, it is best placed on a long spine board before the patient is log rolled. The device is fastened around the patient and inflated to allow for immobilization.Sheet Wrap:*When using a sheet wrap the procedure is straight forward.1. Take a cloth and fold it into a 8” wide, flat band.2. Center it under the buttocks so that when wrapped it will cover the greater
trochanters.3. Wrap the sheet across the symphysis pupis and tie with a half knot.4. Tighten it to stabilize the pelvis.5. Secure with safety pins.6. Move patient to LSB.KED:Invert the KED use the body portion to secure the pelvic region. Move to LSB.
