Patient Assessment EMT Hosa competition
Apnea - ANS-Absense of breathing
Assesa oxygenation - ANS-After making sure they are breathing.
• Apply the pulse ox.
• this is done by looking for signs of hypoxia, poor perfusion, respiratory distress, determine if
the pt is complaining of dyspnea.
Assess breathing - ANS-After you secure the airway.
• determime adequate inadequate
• determine need for early O2 therapy
• provide positive pressure ventilation with inadequate breathing.
Assess circulation - ANS-After you have assessed any threats with breathing and have begun
positive pressure ventilation or have considered O2 thearpy.
• pulse
• possible major bleeding
• skin color, temp, and condition.
• capillary refill
Assess level of consciousness - ANS-A alert
V verbal stimulus
P painful stimulus
U unresponsive
Assess the airway - ANS-Comes after you check for responsiveness, open airway manually or
mechanical devices to clear airway.
Baseline vitals - ANS-Breathing
Pulse
Skin
Capillary refill
Blood pressure
Pupils
