Yes

just stick and apply?

They are for sucking chest wounds

Yes

huh

cool stuff

Sucking chest wounds can lead to bigger problem

Like pneumothorax

Which obviously can lead into an even worse tension pneumothorax

Where you’d have to relieve the pressure off the collapsed lung with a NCD

the way the teacher explained it to me correct me if i am wrong here is that the chest needs the negetive pressure to have the lungs expand and if there is a hole there the air goes in the area around the lungs throught the hole in the chest

Yeah air gets in the plural space

And if enough builds up puts pressure on the lung causing it to collapse

Where a NCD would relieve the pressure in that cavity

we also do other things like Chest tubes but there something you learn later on outside of the basic school.

I wish I could learn this

I might take a course

You should.

like, can you just privately pay for EMT courses?

Yes

Awesome.

Because thats all it would be

This would be more on the Paramedic level

oh yea my work offered it to us because who would guess dangerouse things are dangerouse

EMT-B aka EMT basic is the easiest cert

O2 and transport. That’s what a EMT-B does lol

Welding isn’t to bad of a gig

oh yea it is still a good job and a good pay check

but it was a big thing i wanted to be a EMT through high school but i just couldnt get any loans to pay for it so i am a right now a shop hand and mabey after i am able to put enough money away ill go to school for it

That sucks. I got got my cert and school for free.

I got my EMT-B cert in 1 month.

sucks coming from a family thats rich enought to not get goverment aid but not enough to be able to pay for your schooling

That really must suck. I’m payed for mine with my time. So in reality I came out fucked anyways

ah yea but at least i still have a useful skill

That is true. Welding is a valuable skill.

I enjoy welding although I’m not the best at it
