Needle Chest Decompression
Finger Thoracostomy
This is a class for experienced Paramedics who are ready to push their skills beyond the scope of just intubating the patient in cardiac arrest. These skills will require critical thinking and will be presented in case scenario format with practical application through simulations, performing hands on skills. We will cover various techniques and tools so that participants have a broad exposure to many different methods.
Participants will be given the information and hands on practice they need to perform this skill; however, completion of this class does not provide the authority to practice these skills in the field without the approval of your agency's OMD. I am happy to work with any OMD to incorporate specific agency requirements in order to obtain OMD approval for sign off.
This class can be tailored to an individual, a small group or an agency. Please contact the chairman@thetrainedparamedicsdepartment.com to discuss your needs and make arrangements.

Finally, we will discuss transport decisions and where to take patients to receive the right type of care for the best possible outcome.
Even Taylor knows "All Too Well" that Chest Trauma is a serious injury when she sings, "Bandaids don't fix bullet holes".

Of course, we'll also discuss some of the different injury patterns you may see as well. Be prepared for plenty of hands on skills in this class so that you are prepared to intervene quickly in these life-threatening emergencies.
