The 2010 and 2015 AHA guidelines changed our approach to oxygenation, but some students are still taught to administer oxygen by NRB to chest pain patients with adequate sats. In this post, we examine four different candidates for oxygen therapy.
Airway Ventilation & Respiration
Airway Care
Learn about airway problems, opening and clearing the airway, and airway care. And get study tips for the exam!
Airway, Ventilation & Respiration
Do you understand the pathophysiology of the airway and breathing well enough to answer these test questions? Video at the end breaks down the “what” and “why” of each question and answer.
Airway, Ventilation, and Respiration
Can you handle patients in respiratory distress? Do you know how to adjust your technique for patients with special injuries or conditions? This test covers all aspects of airway, ventilation and respiration.
Anaphylaxis
Learn about allergic reaction and anaphylaxis. Know how to differentiate between the two.
Clinical Minute: ABC or CAB?
The way we approach patients depends on their problem. Most patients require an ABC approach but some are CAB. Find out why here.
Clinical Minute: Jugular Venous Distension
The jugular veins tell a story about certain serious conditions. Watch this clinical minute to find out how and why.
Clinical Minute: Respiratory Distress & Respiratory Failure
In your patient and for the NREMT you must be able to differentiate between respiratory distress and respiratory failure. This clinical minute tells you how.
Clinical Minute: Respiratory Distress vs. Respiratory Failure
In your patient and for the NREMT you must be able to differentiate between respiratory distress and respiratory failure. This clinical minute tells you how.
Decision Making Pathway
This exercise will help students make a solid final diagnosis which results in appropriate protocol selection and treatment decisions.
