An EMT cannot do any kind of advanced airway. Only an EMT-P can do that
Thanks for the clarification. I looked it up and cleared up one of my misconceptions. I think the public has the idea that all EMT's are paramedics. If she was just an EMT without the paramedic qualification, there is indeed very little she could have done for the woman, within the bounds of her competence. She could have done things she was unqualified to do, but that would have exposed her to legal and professional liability if the woman had died as a result of her aid.
