Emergency Medical Responders (EMR) in the US provide initial emergency care first on the scene (police/fire department/search and rescue) and support Emergency Medical Technicians and Paramedics when they arrive. The skills allowed at this level are very similar to an EMTs typically including patient assessment, taking vital signs, bleeding control, positive pressure ventilation with a bag valve mask, oropharyngeal airway, nasopharyngeal airway, supplemental oxygen administration, oral suctioning, cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR), use of an automated external defibrillator (AED), splinting, assistant in administration of basic medications such as epinephrine auto injectors, oral glucose, rescue inhalers, and assisting a patient with their own nitroglycerin. They are also trained in packaging and moving and transporting patients. Once this course is successfully completed the student can take the exam for certification as a National Registry Emergency Medical Responder. The National Registry is the certifying body for EMR's, EMT's, and paramedics. Lab Fee 8 - $150. FALL
