About the EMT Textbook

The primary textbook for the EMT Boot Camp is: Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured Digital Advantage Package, Twelfth Edition. Published by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), this textbook provides the fundamental knowledge of the emergency medical services (EMS) system, safety and well-being of the emergency medical technician (EMT), medical and legal, and ethical issues to the provision of emergency care. Each chapter covers National EMS Education Standard Competencies.

Chapters Covered on Day 3 Include:

  • Chapter 9: Patient Assessment
  • Chapter 10: Airway Management
  • Chapter 11: Principles of Pharmacology

EMT Textbook Chapter 9—Patient Assessment: Summary

Chapter nine covers the application of scene information and patient assessment findings to the pre-hospital treatment of patients. This includes an in-depth discussion of scene size-up, primary and secondary assessment, patient history, and reassessment to guide emergency management.

After completing this chapter and course work, you will understand the scope of the patient assessment process for EMS patients and all phases and components of patient assessment. Please note that this chapter is divided into five sections: scene size-up, primary assessment, history taking, secondary assessment, and reassessment. These divisions will help facilitate your understanding of the patient assessment concept and process.

EMT Textbook Chapter 10—Airway Management: Summary

This chapter applies general anatomy and physiology knowledge to patient assessment and management to assure a patent (open and unobstructed) airway, adequate mechanical ventilation, and respiration for patients of all ages. This includes lessons on the respiratory system, breathing, respiration, patient assessment, opening and maintaining the airway, suctioning, supplemental oxygen, assisted and artificial ventilation, and more.

This chapter will give you the understanding needed for proper airway management, including recognizing and measuring adequate and inadequate breathing, maintaining an open airway, and providing artificial ventilation. You will be able to apply these concepts to appropriate care through the use of airway adjuncts, suction equipment, oxygen equipment and delivery systems, pulse oximetry, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), and resuscitation devices.

EMT Textbook Chapter 11—Principles of Pharmacology: Summary

Chapter 11 provides a fundamental understanding of the medications that EMTs may administer or help administer to a patient during an emergency. Students will learn about medications, their routes of administration, dosages, their effects, indications, contraindications, and possible side effects and complications.

After completing this chapter, you will understand the significance and characteristics of general pharmacology and will be able to identify, describe, and demonstrate the steps for assisting and administering medications carried by the EMT.

Day 3: Summary

After successfully completing Day 3 of the EMT Boot Camp, you will have a solid background in all phases of patient assessment for pre-hospital treatment, including scene evaluation, patient history, and reassessment. You will understand the steps needed for airway assessment and management. You will also have a broad understanding of the medications you may administer or help administer to patients during an EMS call.

Day 3 includes 12 hours of rigorous coursework and study. You will be expected to process a lot of information in a relatively short time. The Unitek 14-Day EMT Boot Camp is not easy, but it is worth it! Our dedicated graduates are among the best trained and most effective EMTs in the world today.
