How this exercise works
Read the vitals panel (BP, HR, RR, SpO₂, skin signs), identify the primary problem, and select the most appropriate first intervention within EMT-Basic scope.
Fundamental concept
Reading blood pressure, pulse, respirations, and SpO₂ together to identify perfusion failure and guide first interventions.
