Author

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (DOT), Washington, DC., Health Resources and Services Administration (DHHS/PHS), Washington, DC. Maternal and Child Health Bureau., Brown, William E., Dotterer, Robert W., Gainor, Dia, Judd, Richard L., Larmon, Baxter, Lewis, Kathryn M., Margolis, Gregg S., Mercer, Steve, Mistovich, Joseph J., Newell, Lawrence D., Politis, Jonathan F., Stoy, Walt A., Stupar, James A., Walz, Bruce J., and Wagoner, Robert

Abstract

This document, which replaces the 1985 national guidelines for emergency medical technician (EMT) continuing education (CE), presents guidelines for designing, implementing, and evaluating CE for EMTs. The introduction explains the process used to develop the revised guidelines. Section 1 discusses the following competency assurance principles underlying development of the revised curriculum: (1) assessment of practice outcomes; (2) assessment of potential to practice; and (3) assessment of professional qualities. Justifications for assessing each item and recommended evaluation methods are also presented. Section 2 details the roles played by state emergency medical services offices and the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians in developing and operating emergency medical services (EMS) and in training and certifying EMTs. Section 3 describes the following mechanisms for competency assurance: (1) needs assessment; (2) assurance of knowledge (structured CE, refresher programs, lecture programs and conferences, nationally recognized CE courses, approved self-study, case reviews, grand rounds, sentinel event review, directed studies, teaching); and (3) assurance of skill proficiency (field performance evaluation; hospital clinical performance evaluations; skills workshops; performance examinations; integration of new technology, procedures, protocols, and products; evaluation of educational programs). The bibliography lists 29 references. A table detailing advanced-level EMS provider recommended hours of CE is appended. (MN)

7. Carbon deposition characteristics of LO2/HC propellants

Abstract

The generation and deposition of carbon have been studied using subscale hardware with LO2/RP-1, LO2/propane, and LO2/methane at low mixture ratio conditions. The deposition of carbon on the turbine simulator tubes was evaluated at mixture ratios of 0.20 to 0.60, and at chamber pressures from 720 to 1650 psia. The carbon-deposition rate is a strong function of mixture ratio and a weak function of chamber pressure. There is a mixture ratio that will minimize deposition for LO2/RP-1; a threshold mixture ratio for LO2/propane; and no deposition for LO2/methane at any mixture ratio tested. The turbine drive operating limits were defined for each fuel tested.
