Critical Criteria

__________ Did not take or verbalize body substance isolation precautions

__________ Loss of traction at any point after it was applied, manual or mechanical

__________ Did not assess PMS in the injured extremity before and after splinting

__________ The foot was excessively rotated or pronated after splint was applied

__________ Did not secure the ischial strap before applying mechanical traction

__________ Final immobilization failed to support the femur or prevent rotation of the injured leg

__________ Secured the leg to the splint before applying mechanical traction

__________ Failure to manage the patient as a competent EMR

__________ Exhibits unacceptable affect with patient or other personnel

__________ Uses or orders a dangerous or inappropriate intervention

Note: If the Sagar splint or the Kendricks Traction Device is used without elevating the patient's leg,application of manual traction is not necessary. The candidate should be awarded one (1) point as if

manual traction were applied.

Note: If the leg is elevated at all, manual traction must be applied before elevating the leg. The ankle

hitch may be applied before elevating the leg.
