MMID-3 Flashcards
Air may be supplied to the member through the use of the low pressure system by one of
the following methods:
- 5
* FAST Pak regulator with the member’s facepiece.
* Hansen Fitting of the low pressure hose.
* FAST Pak facepiece and regulator.
There are two ways to supply air to the distressed member:
High Pressure.
Low Pressure.
What is used for the high pressure.
7.4 The high pressure air system permits emergency air replenishment of an SCBA from an
air supply source while still in use through the Universal Air Coupling (UAC). The UAC
is for emergency use only when a member is low or out of air within an IDLH.
If the condition of the distressed member’s SCBA is in doubt DO NOT provide air via the high
pressure system.
True or False
True
7.4
The member assigned to monitor the air supply of the FAST Pak must protect the
low pressure hose, e.g., high heat, hot embers, sharp objects and entanglement.
True or False
True
7.5.1
When the member has been located, the appropriate radio transmission must be made.
Whether or not the removal involves a conscious or unconscious member, the priorities
will be:
4.1 FAIR Fire/Environment. Air. Immediate medical care, if required and possible. Removal. Additional considerations are: Identification of member. Packaging, if required.
A member
will suffer brain damage without air in______minutes.
4-6 minutes.
7.1
Once the member is located, a FAST Pak must be called for immediately, if the member has no air.
True or False
False
A FAST Pak must be called for immediately, regardless of whether the member has air or not.
7.2
The rescuer
must be trained to assess each situation and decide which re-supply method via the FAST
Pak is best. This decision can vary depending on several factors:
- 2
* Condition of the distressed member’s SCBA.
* Position of the distressed member.
* Accessibility for the various air supply methods.
If unable to determine if an unconscious member has air or not, supply the member with
air. There are three ways to determine whether the member has air:
7.6
* Turn the purge valve. If there is air, the flow will be heard.
* If the facepiece is on, break the seal between the member’s face and facepiece and
listen for air escaping.
* Look at the REMOTE gauge of the downed member
Conscious Member
Ascertain the following information:
- 1.1
* Name.
* Unit working in that tour.
* Assignment
Three ways to Identify an unconscious member
- 1.2
- Depress members EAB or key mic
- Position them on their RIGHT side
- Members tools
When a downed member is position on their right side.
What info can be ascertained ?
Member’s name on back of the bunker coat.
10.1.2
* PRA identification number which will provide the unit and position.
This method will work as long as the SCBA is not a spare.
* Helmet frontpiece of the distressed member which may not be the unit
the member is working in.
* The engraved identification number on the side of the handie-talkie.
The PRA ID number on the scba will provide what info?
10.1.2
Unit and Position.
