Date: _____________________________________________ Signature: __________________________________________

Actual Time Started: __________ Possible Points


Points Awarded
Takes or verbalizes appropriate PPE precautions 1
Checks responsiveness 1
Requests additional EMS assistance 1
Checks breathing and pulse simultaneously 1
NOTE: After checking responsiveness, then checking breathing and pulse for no more than 10 seconds, examiner informs
candidate, “The patient is unresponsive, apneic and has a weak pulse of 60.”
Opens airway properly 1
NOTE: The examiner must now inform the candidate, “The mouth is full of secretions and vomitus.”
Prepares rigid suction catheter 1
Turns on power to suction device or retrieves manual suction device 1
Inserts rigid suction catheter without applying suction 1
Suctions the mouth and oropharynx 1
NOTE: The examiner must now inform the candidate, “The mouth and oropharynx are clear.”
Opens the airway manually 1

NOTE: The examiner must now inform the candidate that ventilation is being properly performed without difficulty.
Re-checks pulse for no more than 10 seconds 1
Attaches the BVM assembly [mask, bag, reservoir] to oxygen [15 L/minute] 1
Ventilates the patient adequately
-Proper volume to cause visible chest rise (1 point) 2
-Proper rate [10 – 12/minute (1 ventilation every 5 – 6 seconds)] (1 point)
Note: The examiner must now ask the candidate, “How would you know if you are delivering appropriate volumes with
each ventilation?”
