Thank you both........I have completed micro biology and A & P 1, still need 2 though; my thought was that getting to intermediate school would help me get some more advanced experience as I go through more schooling. And with my vent question, I have a basic idea of the function, just I have never used one on 911 calls, we always pulled it and bagged. I suppose I just need more exposure.

We use the LTV 950, normally a RT doesn not accompany us nor does a RN, just the medic and myself. Thanks for the adivce so far, I will try to get some time on a vent care center nearby- that is a great idea. As a basic I know vent operation is'nt my responsibilty, but I like atleast knowing the basics of it and at my service getting guidence or answers is harder then pulling teeth from a live wallrus.

Most of my experience is on a 911 unit.....I am fairly new to the inter-facility thing and noticed recently I have developed a fear of vent patients. Would anyone be able to give me some insigt on portable vents used in transports?

Hi everyone, I am starting an EMT-I course this coming fall after being a basic since 2000.........I would greatly aprpeciate any advice or tips, or general secrets/tools of the trade so to speak. Thank you
