A nice foundation for understanding medical guidelines, and a start, albeit it a weak one, towards saving lives.

2020-04-30 05:27:51 UTC  

I have contact with an 18D so that’s a start eh?

2020-04-30 05:28:30 UTC  

No, there’s a massive difference. 18D are amazing resources, truly. But you need hands on training.

2020-04-30 05:28:44 UTC  

That’s true.

2020-04-30 05:28:52 UTC  

I mainly meant the 18D to supplement knowledge.

2020-04-30 05:29:28 UTC  

I 100 percent recommend emt-b courses. You’ll get so much more out of your contact with a treating understanding, just from the nuances you may have missed.

2020-04-30 05:29:57 UTC  

I just...it’s hard to get training at my age.

2020-04-30 05:32:03 UTC  

Lies.

2020-04-30 05:32:13 UTC  

Community colleges offer training for all men and women.

2020-04-30 05:32:26 UTC  

Well....

2020-04-30 05:32:31 UTC  

Yeah..

2020-04-30 05:32:41 UTC  

ah fuck

2020-04-30 05:32:47 UTC  

What’s the thing used to test percussive resonance or whatever on a possible collapsed lung called?

2020-04-30 05:33:10 UTC  

I don’t even fucking know. Every single medical profession I’ve ever asked had the same answer.

2020-04-30 05:33:17 UTC  

“You’ll know it when you hear it”

2020-04-30 05:33:32 UTC  

Someone told me it’s the thing they test your knee with. The weird triangle hammer

2020-04-30 05:33:37 UTC  

Stethoscope?

2020-04-30 05:33:40 UTC  

Oh that shit.

2020-04-30 05:33:46 UTC  

<:blobhmmm:576731972257185793>

2020-04-30 05:34:00 UTC  

Reflex hammer?

2020-04-30 05:34:04 UTC  

Something like that.

2020-04-30 05:34:19 UTC  

I think they meant something else but that’s what I got from their *vivid* illustration

2020-04-30 05:34:58 UTC  

Okay I was thinking you were talking about doing yaps on the abdomen to check for abnormalities

2020-04-30 05:36:30 UTC  

Collapsed lung had signs you don’t need to test for, most obviously of course respiratory distress (difficulty breathing) but also look for Jugular vein Distention.

2020-04-30 05:36:59 UTC  

Always feel and listen to the patient as the breathe, as taught in CLS or TC3-AC

2020-04-30 05:37:20 UTC  

Hands on both sides of the ribs, ear to the mouth.

2020-04-30 05:37:42 UTC  

Check for asymmetric rise of the chest

2020-04-30 05:37:55 UTC  

One palm, one back of hand on the breasts

2020-04-30 05:38:04 UTC  

You know what I’m talking right?

2020-04-30 05:38:36 UTC  

Don’t do back of the hand. That’s a political call.

2020-04-30 05:38:52 UTC  

I think so. One side rising and falling more than the other or something.

2020-04-30 05:39:57 UTC  

That’s sign of a tension pneumothorax or hemothorax.

2020-04-30 05:40:32 UTC  

Yeah I know all of that

2020-04-30 05:40:33 UTC  

Bilateral rise and fall is the easiest visual indicator

2020-04-30 05:40:48 UTC  

Tracheal deviation is a late stage indicator

2020-04-30 05:41:00 UTC  

Use the palms. It was switched to backs of the hands over females being allowed in more roles to prevent false claims of sexual assault. The military is full of PC bullshit especially in training.

2020-04-30 05:41:15 UTC  

Tracheal deviation is really fuck bad.

2020-04-30 05:41:29 UTC  

At which point if there is suspected TPX, decompress at the designated sites. I’m sure you all know them.

2020-04-30 05:41:45 UTC  

They’re dying. Don’t feel bad btw for being a zoomer, I’m first year (or last year millennial) zoomer.

2020-04-30 05:41:46 UTC  

Seriously? Lmao

2020-04-30 05:41:57 UTC  

Yeah I was gonna say, if they’re already at tracheal deviatiation you’re gonna need immediate evacuation and higher level interventions
