This 10-question quiz tests your knowledge on the 2015 AHA guidelines for BLS and CPR. Are you a CPR master… or should someone be checking your pulse?
Cardiology & Resuscitation
Acute Coronary Syndrome
Learn about myocardial infarction, angina, and other cardiac conditions you need to know.
Cardiac Emergencies
Chest pain is a frequent patient complaint, but not all chest pain is due to a cardiac emergency. Understanding the anatomy and physiology of the cardiac and respiratory systems, as well as the mechanism of action for treatments, is important for effective patient care.
Cardiology and Resuscitation
Cardiology and resuscitation are hugely important for the NREMT, especially the AHA guidelines. It’s easy to forget the basics! Try your hand at this test, then get the full breakdown in the video at the end.
Cardiology and Resuscitation
In this test you’ll have to interpret blood pressure anomalies, correctly diagnose patients with subtle symptoms, make quick decisions for pediatric patients and prove your CPR know-how, among many other scenarios.
Clinical Minute: Body System Exams – Cardiac/Respiratory
Perhaps one of the most frequent calls for EMS, it is vital to know how to assess the cardiac and respiratory system. This clinical minute provides information on high-yield techniques.
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.
Digesting a Test Question #1
In a scenario of a 56-year-old man with chest pain and respiratory distress, Dan discusses how to break down a test question. He demonstrates how to reach the most appropriate answer by analyzing key points and thinking through each possible option thoroughly.
Positive Pressure Ventilation and Supplemental Oxygen
Learn about hypoxia and inadequate breathing. Review performance points for PPV and supplemental oxygen.
Resuscitation
Review cardiac arrest and high-performance CPR, including key points on compression depth, compression rate, and more.
