EBEEM study plan

Map the EBEEM syllabus into a personal checklist covering resuscitation, cardiovascular, respiratory, and trauma presentations, and rate each area as strong, partial, or weak

Rehearse the structured ABCDE approach aloud for 10 different undifferentiated presentations until the sequence and safety-netting language are automatic

List the first-line drug, dose, and route for cardiac arrest, anaphylaxis, status epilepticus, and severe asthma from memory, then verify each against a current guideline

Practise interpreting 10 arterial blood gases, classifying each as respiratory or metabolic and naming the expected compensation

Work through 15 cardiovascular emergencies (ACS, arrhythmia, dissection, pulmonary embolism, cardiogenic shock) and state the immediate management step for each

Interpret 20 ECGs covering STEMI, complete heart block, ventricular tachycardia, hyperkalaemia, and pulmonary embolism patterns, writing a one-line read for each

Compare thrombolysis, primary PCI, and anticoagulation pathways for ACS and pulmonary embolism, noting time windows and contraindications

Explain the management of narrow- and broad-complex tachycardias, including when to synchronise and when to defibrillate

Classify respiratory failure using blood gas values and match each type to oxygen delivery device and target saturation range

Outline the assessment and immediate management of severe asthma, COPD exacerbation, pneumothorax, and pulmonary oedema

Describe indications, preparation, and complications for emergency airway management, including rapid sequence intubation and a failed-airway plan

Review ventilator basics: modes, tidal volume, PEEP, and how to recognise and correct patient-ventilator dyssynchrony

Apply a primary and secondary survey to 10 trauma scenarios, naming the life threat addressed at each step

Describe damage-control resuscitation, massive transfusion triggers, and permissive hypotension in haemorrhagic shock

Outline imaging decisions in head, chest, abdominal, and pelvic trauma, including when CT is and is not appropriate

Explain the emergency management of burns, including fluid resuscitation formulas, airway risk, and referral criteria

Work through 15 neurological and toxicological emergencies, including stroke, meningitis, status epilepticus, opioid overdose, and poisoning with antidotes

List the antidotes and their indications for the 10 most common poisonings, with dose and route

Apply stroke thrombolysis and thrombectomy time windows and contraindications to five case vignettes

Explain the recognition and immediate management of sepsis and septic shock, including fluid and antibiotic timing

Describe the emergency approach to abdominal pain, gastrointestinal bleeding, renal colic, and obstetric emergencies in early pregnancy

Outline paediatric and geriatric adaptations of the ABCDE approach, including weight-based dosing and atypical presentations

Explain the management of environmental emergencies: hypothermia, heat stroke, drowning, and electrical injury

Review the recognition and management of acute psychiatric emergencies and the legal framework for detention in your jurisdiction

Practise 40 single-best-answer questions under timed conditions and record accuracy by topic

Review every incorrect answer and write the underlying principle, not just the correct option

Rehearse structured verbal answers to 10 short-case questions, keeping each answer to two minutes

Identify the three weakest topics from your accuracy log and re-read those areas

Re-test the five weakest topics from week 7 and confirm improvement

Complete a second timed mock and compare accuracy with the first attempt

Recite the resuscitation, airway, antidote, and trauma checklists from memory without prompts

Consolidate a final one-page summary of high-yield facts and review it twice
