Emergency Medical
Services is a hands-on profession. There are many skills that the
EMS provider must become proficient in to provide the best quality
patient care. One of the challenges facing EMS providers in the
field is using the skills they learn in training on an actual call
where there are many distractions. Delmar's Basic Life Support Video
Series and Delmar’s Advanced Life Support Video Series help
to bridge the gap from an organized learning environment to the
street.
Each tape provides
a scenario in which a skill is performed; this scenario is shown
in real time with all the possible distractions, as well as interspersed
with interviews with the EMTs involved in the scene. In this format
the viewer can apply the knowledge of the skill to a commonly encountered
call. Then each step in the skill is broken down into its components
so that the viewer can learn the steps without the distractions.
Delmar's Basic
Life Support Video Series and Delmar’s Advanced Life Support
Video Series are helpful tools for those teaching or learning the
skills and/or demonstrations. In addition, the videos can be used
as a refresher for those preparing to take National Registry exams.

grouped, when applicable, for a logical and pedagogically sound
presentation of the skills within an area
- Filming
environment is set up to provide a variety of realistic field
settings (e.g., a home, a car accident site, a construction site,
etc.)
- Filming
includes the use of actors to stage a scene, interspersed with
close-angle filming using a mannequin for actual demonstration
of skills such as CPR or invasive procedures that could not be
performed on an actor
- Videos open
with a dramatization of the scenario illustrating how the medical
personnel must multi-task in live situations and then moves in
