california don't allow emt-b to intubate do they?

Agreed. Pennsylvania just signed into legislature the EMT-A, which is basically an EMT-I. My EMT instructor, who is a medic, told me its completely necessary to have EMT-A's

Why would they say they were using a Combi, Multi or LMA if they are clearly Intubating with an ETT, and none of the devices you mentioned.You tend to not use a Laryngescope with a blind-insertion device.

they should have preoxygenated with 100% oxygen before they inserted the ET. Plus they should specify wether using a Combitube, MultiLumen or LMA. Not the best video, but not horrible.

I agree with you on that one. In my county most of the ambulance companies staff their regular ambulances with two EMT1 or an EMT1 and EMT2 in our county all the Fire Departments staff Paramedics which respond to all EMS calls with the EMTs. One of the local Ambulance companies has a hand full of CCT ambulances which have a paramedic onboard. If all else fails there is always Mercy Air.

I agree, Levering on the teeth is not the correct way and offers no mechanical advantage.The anaesthetists (or anesthsiologists in other countries) I work with would not be impressed if I used that technique on our patients!
