About the EMT Textbook

The primary textbook for the EMT Boot Camp is: Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured Digital Advantage Package, Twelfth Edition. Published by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), this textbook provides the fundamental knowledge of the emergency medical services (EMS) system, safety and well-being of the emergency medical technician (EMT), medical and legal, and ethical issues to the provision of emergency care. Each chapter covers National EMS Education Standard Competencies.

Chapters Covered on Day 3 Include:

EMT Textbook Chapter 10—Patient Assessment: Summary

Chapter ten covers the application of scene information and patient assessment findings to the pre-hospital treatment of patients. This includes an in-depth discussion of scene size-up, primary and secondary assessment, patient history, and reassessment to guide emergency management.

After completing this chapter and coursework, you will understand the scope of the patient assessment process for EMS patients and all phases and components of patient assessment. Please note that this chapter is divided into five sections: scene size-up, primary assessment, history taking, secondary assessment, and reassessment. These divisions will help facilitate your understanding of the patient assessment concept and process.

EMT Textbook Chapter 11—Airway Management: Summary

This chapter applies general anatomy and physiology knowledge to patient assessment and management to assure a patent (open and unobstructed) airway, adequate mechanical ventilation, and respiration for patients of all ages. This includes lessons on the respiratory system, breathing, respiration, patient assessment, opening and maintaining the airway, suctioning, supplemental oxygen, assisted and artificial ventilation, and more.

This chapter will give you the understanding needed for proper airway management, including recognizing and measuring adequate and inadequate breathing, maintaining an open airway, and providing artificial ventilation. You will be able to apply these concepts to appropriate care through the use of airway adjuncts, suction equipment, oxygen equipment and delivery systems, pulse oximetry, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), and resuscitation devices.

EMT Textbook Chapter 13—Shock: Summary

Chapter 13 covers the causes, effects, and management of shock, respiratory failure or arrest, cardiac failure or arrest, and post-resuscitation management. This includes an in-depth discussion of the various types of shock, their signs and symptoms, patient assessment for shock, and emergency care.

After completing this chapter and course work, you will have an understanding of the different types and causes of shock, the process of perfusion, the signs and symptoms associated with shock, the application of the assessment process with the shock patient, and the general and specific emergency medical care provided to patients experiencing shock.

EMT Textbook Chapter 15: Homework

Day 3: Summary

After successfully completing Day 3 of the EMT Boot Camp, you will have a thorough understanding of how to assess patient conditions and how to stabilize and care for them based on your assessment. You will learn how to recognize and handle patients in shock. And, you will also feel confident after having learned and practiced techniques for airway management.

Day 3 includes 12 hours of rigorous coursework and study. You will be expected to process a lot of information in a relatively short time.
