| Synopsis: |
This DVD contains three sections: The EMS Call, The Well-Being of the EMS Provider, and Lifting and Moving. The first section follows one medical call from dispatch through delivery at the hospital. The second section uses three actual runs, as well as interviews to cover the need for BSI protection, how easily body substance contamination spreads, dealing with potentially violent patients, and the emotional stress faced by EMTs. The final section is presented in four calls covering the proper lifting technique, securing patients for movement, difficult locations, and different methods of moving patients. This DVD is an excellent way to introduce new EMT students to what they can expect when they are in the field, or as a summary at the end of an EMT class. |
