A full drill, exactly as it is in the app

Push-dose pressor and airway prep

Medical · 15 min

Prepare a push-dose pressor and backup airway gear accurately under time pressure, with a second person checking every step.

Setup

• Expired or training medications and syringes clearly marked for training
• Your agency's push-dose protocol card
• Airway kit with backup devices
• Timer

How to run it

1. Read the scenario aloud (patient, vital signs, airway plan).
2. Prepare the push-dose medication exactly as your protocol card describes.
3. Say each step out loud; your partner checks the drug, concentration and volume before you continue.
4. Label the syringe.
5. At the same time, lay out the primary airway and two backup options in the order you would use them.
6. Stop the clock and compare against the protocol card.

What good looks like

• Every step matches the protocol card
• Closed-loop check before each step
• Syringe labeled
• Backup airway gear ready before the primary attempt

Debrief questions

• Where would an error most likely happen on a real call?
• Did the verification slow you down, and how could it be smoother?

Safety

• Follow your agency protocols and medical direction. This drill practices the skill; it does not replace your protocols.
• Use training medications only. Never return training supplies to a live drug box or jump bag.

General training ideas only. Your agency's protocols, policies and medical director come first.
