✔✔During a disaster response, an incident commander decides to move patients to

category
✔✔A 36 year old woman who 32 weeks' pregnant sustains a fracture of the right tibia
and fibula in a MVC. The patient reports pain in the area of the thoracic spine and right

immobilized, supine on a backboard, tilted to one side
✔✔A 45 year old patient reports taking dabigatran (Pradaxa) for anticoagulation
secondary to afib. The transport provider remembers that dabigatran is a direct
thrombin inhibitor and therefore, it: - ✔✔may require a specialized medication to reverse

placement of an ETT during transport. The critical care transport medical team admits
