NREMT EMR First Responder

Category - Preparatory

All of the following emergency move techniques require a single responder except one. Which of the following requires more than one responder?
  1. Cradle carry
  2. Pack strap carry
  3. Firefighter’s carry
  4. Direct carry
  5. Shoulder drag
Explanation
Answer: D - All of the choices above are single-responder carries except the direct carry, which ideally involves two (or three) responders. There is also a direct ground lift method, which requires three rescuers. The direct lift method is intended to lift and move a patient from a supine position on the ground to a bed or stretcher. Responders are positioned at the neck and back, waist and hips, and upper and lower legs. Once lifted to knee level, the patient’s body is curled toward the rescuers’ chests.
