National Registry Skill Sheets - Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured, Ninth Edition - Ninth Edition National Registry Skill Sheets

Sep 22, 2026

Uploaded by Bulrr

National Registry Skill Sheets for emergency medical care cover airway, oxygenation, suction, and ventilatory management for apneic or compromised patients. The sheets outline step-by-step candidate actions for inserting oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal airways, preparing and applying suction, and delivering ventilation with bag-valve-mask and adequate oxygen flow. Additional sections assess patient status, manage bleeding and shock, immobilize injuries with splints, and perform cardiac arrest care with AED readiness, including critical failure criteria for safety and effectiveness.

FAQs

What airway procedures are assessed in these National Registry Skill Sheets?

The sheets evaluate selecting and inserting appropriate oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal airways, measuring them, and maintaining a patent airway. They also assess suction preparation and correct suction application technique.

How is bleeding control evaluated for suspected shock management?

Candidates are scored on applying direct pressure, elevating the extremity, applying additional dressings when bleeding continues, using arterial pressure points, bandaging appropriately, positioning the patient, administering high-concentration oxygen, preventing heat loss, and indicating the need for immediate transport.

What ventilation and cardiac arrest elements are included?

Ventilatory management includes bag-valve-mask ventilation with correct mask seal and adequate delivered volume, appropriate oxygen flow connection, and continuity of ventilation without excessive interruption. Cardiac arrest management includes AED-related care with bystander CPR in progress, along with safety and critical criteria.
