OK, You Got the Patient Back. Now What?
Anyone who resuscitates a cardiac arrest patient feels elated, but the job is not done.
How do we support the patient and minimize the risk of long term brain injury? This
lecture will focus on this question. The participant will understand the general approach
to resuscitated patients.

Complicated by Musculoskeletal Injuries 
Musculoskeletal injuries are common. As an EMT-B, you will be called upon to treat
injuries to muscles and bones, which range from minor to life threatening. Many
musculoskeletal injuries can have a grotesque appearance. In this session you will learn
how to splint and work with these obvious injures without being distracted from
life-threatening conditions by a deformed limb.
