Question: 1 / 600

Which of the following is NOT a type of emergency move used during medical emergencies?

One-rescuer assist

Two-rescuer assist

Firefighter carry

Firefighter lift

The firefighter lift is not considered a type of emergency move typically used during medical emergencies in the context provided. In emergency medical situations, the focus is on safely and efficiently moving a patient to ensure their condition does not worsen. The one-rescuer assist and two-rescuer assist are standard methods for aiding a patient who may be injured or in distress. These techniques prioritize the safety of both the patient and the rescuers by allowing them to maintain control and support the patient's weight during movement. The firefighter carry, while also a move used in emergencies, is specific to situations where a rescuer needs to transport an unconscious or incapacitated individual, often utilized by firefighters or first responders. This method is designed to allow one person to carry another safely over obstacles, so it has its place in the emergency response toolkit. In contrast, the firefighter lift is more involved and typically used in a firefighting context, rather than a medical response scenario. It may involve a variety of techniques for lifting an individual but is not categorized as a medical emergency move. Thus, the firefighter lift stands out as the option that does not align with the other recognized emergency moves focused on medical situations.
