BHDave Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Does anyone out there know of any sources for "real" footage of problems that EMTs face? Such as examples of what diaphoretic, cyanotic etc look like? Perfect examples would be small downloadable videos that might be able to be put into a powerpoint presentation?

Ridryder 911 Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 not that I am aware of.. and with HIPPA etc it will getting harder. PALS used to have some informative slides with pictures of kids in breathing crisis, that really displayed the problems.

Street_Dancer Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 The AAOS put out a VHS series a few years back that shows real footage of actual patient calls. I have seen other real footage in programs such as PEPP, PALS, NALS, etc. Another thing to look at could be 24/7 EMS. Although they do not do real footage, they are acted with real paramedics and EMT's. Just a couple of things to look at. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyedoc Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Record 'Paramedics' that is on Discovery Health and show portions from that. You don't have to worry about HIPPA because it has already been aired. That should provide plenty of video reference. Good luck. http://health.discovery.com/schedule/serie...amp;channel=DHC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustdevil Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 HIPPA would be the least of your concerns in that case. It is federal copyright laws you would need to be worried about. I am pretty sure that "Paramedics" is copyrighted and probably not really open to their work being used without permission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyedoc Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Touché, Dustdevil. We had an instructor that did use part of their footage from the one when there is a tornado and there are hundreds of people in the gymnasium with only 1-2 medics. If I recall (and I might be wrong...it's been known to happen) he did get authorization from DHC to use their material. I have an e-mail out to him to see if 1) he still has the material and 2) he did get approval to use their material. As soon as I hear back, I will post his reply.

Richard B the EMT Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 PALS used to have some informative slides with pictures of kids in breathing crisis, that really displayed the problems. Please tell me you are NOT referring to that film with the baby showing the ribs on each inhalation, during "retractive breathing?" It seems the crew working that call, in the ER, if memory serves me correctly, don't do anything during almost a full 60 seconds, for that child!

gurneyjock Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Hello, I teach in Southern California. I use the TV show from Discovery Channel, "Paramedics". It's the "COPS" of EMS. I tell my students to focus on the patients condition NOT the care being provided. Also, 24-7 EMS (www.24-7e,s.com) has some really good videos, that are very consistent with NSC objectives. Hope this helps. JK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
