No, there’s a massive difference. 18D are amazing resources, truly. But you need hands on training.
That’s true.
I mainly meant the 18D to supplement knowledge.
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.
I just...it’s hard to get training at my age.
Lies.
Community colleges offer training for all men and women.
Well....
Yeah..
ah fuck
What’s the thing used to test percussive resonance or whatever on a possible collapsed lung called?
I don’t even fucking know. Every single medical profession I’ve ever asked had the same answer.
“You’ll know it when you hear it”
Someone told me it’s the thing they test your knee with. The weird triangle hammer
Stethoscope?
Oh that shit.
<:blobhmmm:576731972257185793>
Reflex hammer?
Something like that.
I think they meant something else but that’s what I got from their *vivid* illustration
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.
Always feel and listen to the patient as the breathe, as taught in CLS or TC3-AC
Hands on both sides of the ribs, ear to the mouth.
Check for asymmetric rise of the chest
One palm, one back of hand on the breasts
You know what I’m talking right?
Don’t do back of the hand. That’s a political call.
I think so. One side rising and falling more than the other or something.
That’s sign of a tension pneumothorax or hemothorax.
Yeah I know all of that
Bilateral rise and fall is the easiest visual indicator
Tracheal deviation is a late stage indicator
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.
Tracheal deviation is really fuck bad.
At which point if there is suspected TPX, decompress at the designated sites. I’m sure you all know them.
They’re dying. Don’t feel bad btw for being a zoomer, I’m first year (or last year millennial) zoomer.
Seriously? Lmao
Yeah I was gonna say, if they’re already at tracheal deviatiation you’re gonna need immediate evacuation and higher level interventions
Yeah lot of PC bullshit in the military.
Always push for immediate evacuation on any sort of airway or respiratory issue.
