EMSP 1091 NATIONAL REGISTRY SKILLS EVALUATION
Course Level: Advanced
Psychomotor Examination
The psychomotor examination process consists of four (4) skills presented in a scenario-type format to assess the abilities of the EMT-Intermediate/85 and EMT-Paramedic to function in the out-of-hospital setting. All skills have been developed in accordance with the EMT-Basic National Standard Curriculum, the behavioral and skill objectives of the 1985 EMT-Intermediate National Standard Training Curriculum, and current A.H.A. guidelines. The process is a formal verification of the candidate's skills and knowledge, rather than a teaching, coaching, or remedial training session. As a result, you will not be provided with any specific feedback on your performance.
-
You are encouraged to review all the Practical Exam information and worksheets, click here, before attempting the examination.
-
Candidates are permitted to bring their own equipment for the examination, provided it is approved for testing by the National Registry Representative in attendance at the examination.
-
All candidates must complete the psychomotor examination in a standardized format. All candidates must demonstrate an acceptable level of competency in each of the following skills:
-
Patient Assessment/Management
You will be required to perform a "hands-on," head-to-toe, physical assessment and voice treatment of a simulated patient for a given scenario, including:-
Scene Size-Up
-
Initial Assessment/Resuscitation
-
Focused History and Physical Examination - Rapid Trauma Assessment
-
Detailed Physical Examination
-
-
Ventilatory Management
Given a scenario of having just found an apneic adult patient with a palpable carotid pulse, you must demonstrate immediate management of the patient using simple airway maneuvers and adjuncts, bag-valve-mask device, and supplemental oxygen. Each candidate must then choose and insert a dual lumen airway device (Combitube®, PTL® or endotracheal tube (ET). Requirements for state licensure may mandate which of these devices may be used. -
Intravenous Therapy
You will be required to establish a patient IV in a manikin arm in accordance with a given scenario. -
Random Basic Skills
You will be evaluated over one (1) of the following EMT-Basic skills tested at random. All instruments for these skills will adhere to the National Registry EMT-Basic Practical Examination material:-
Spinal immobilization (Seated Patient)
