A day in the life of our EMT students!

Role playing, skills training and lab practice:

Team members prepare for a patient transport by properly securing Jenna to a stretcher. 

 

Using a Needle Injection Training Arm, EMT student Jen practices injection and venipuncture (the puncture of a vein to administer medicine) techniques.

 Students ready a Traction Leg Splint while another immobilizes the patient’s head to secure a C Spine Collar.

Students perform a Log Roll with the assistance of a Long Spine Board.

Quick Facts:
- A well-coordinated Log Roll maintains in-line spinal immobilization.
- Proper Log Roll techniques reduce the chance of worsening or causing injuries.

The head and neck are crucial airway and breathing components – students perfect their immobilization techniques by using one another’s steady hands.


Our January batch of EMT students are almost at the finish line. They'll be graduating later this month! Well done.
