As a service to its members, NAEMT is now offering training programs in the following areas:
- Carbon Monoxide Poisoning (Word / PowerPoint);
- Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Implications for the Fire Service (Word / PowerPoint);
- Pulse Oximetry and Co-Oximetry for First Responders and EMTs
- (Word / PowerPoint); and
- Non-invasive Respiratory Gas Monitoring for Paramedics (Word / PowerPoint)
Particularly during the winter months, emergency medical services providers may be encountering calls of this nature. These training programs address a knowledge gap in the areas of carbon monoxide poisoning and non-invasive respiratory gas monitoring for EMS workers. Bryan Bledsoe, DO, FACEP, EMT-P, authored the programs, which are endorsed by the International Association of Fire Fighters, the National Association of EMS Educators and the International Association of Flight Paramedics. Each program has a matching PowerPoint presentation, an instructor guide and a student workbook.
