Well I am an :redlight:EMT and CNA:redlight:, I would have stabilized the c-spine, log rolled the pt, cleared the airway, and then assessed breathing. Sounds like once the airway was clear he started breathing regularly so rescue breathing was not indicated. I would have continued to stabilize the c-spine and provided other care as needed until an ambulance arrived. Some people frighten me. All that "Skippy" would have done was push emesis, mucous, saliva, etc into that kids lungs and made things far worse. I would have asked to see his Basic Life Support and National Registry of Emeregency Medical Technician's cards after care was turned over to local EMS. He sounds like a liar or an idiot to me. I am so new to EMS and to some of you all I am still a young'en but I agree with the care provided by the OP. There is no Nurse VS EMT, we have to work together to provide the patient with the highest level of care possible. Of course, Thats just my two cents.
