EMT City Administrator Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 That is the national curriculum. I am looking for the I/85 specific one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief1C Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 see, who needs google when you have ch? Always good info from him. No idea where to look for that.. I tried their website, which you'd think it would be on.. But, unless it's hidden under something, I can't find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMT City Administrator Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 Exactly... I am usually pretty good at the googles, but this one is hiding on me. Funny, since so many states use this standard still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chbare Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Actually, many states do not technically use the DOT I-85 NSC; however, when their curriculum meets or exceeds the 85 level, the NREMT may allow graduates to test out at that level. However, many states do not use the NREMT-I/85. Unfortunately, all you can find is the I99 curriculum. NREMT will still test the 85 (very limited amount of time with the new SOP changes). Your best bet is to pull the I-85 material from the 99 curriculum if you are looking for a guideline to the standard. The I85 standard consists of the introductory material, medical terminology, airway management (The State can specify if ETT is taught), shock management and IV therapy, and patient assessment. Anything else is supplemental to the original I85 curriculum. In fact, the NREMT-I/85 psychomotor stations only include; airway, patient assessment and management trauma, IV therapy, and a random basic skill. ETT is not a requirement of the airway station. Take care, chbare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief1C Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) It's not just the NSC.. It's any I/85 Curriculum. I couldn't find any of them. I found a book written in 1991 about it on Amazon, that was about the extent of it. Edited May 21, 2009 by 4c6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
