Kuwait MOH Paramedic study plan

Build a one-page airway decision map that sequences basic maneuvers, supraglottic placement, and endotracheal intubation by patient condition and provider scope.

Practice sizing and inserting oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal airways on a trainer until selection and depth are automatic for adult, child, and infant.

Calculate oxygen flow and delivered fraction for nasal cannula, simple mask, non-rebreather, and venturi mask, then state the target saturation range for COPD, stroke, and cardiac arrest.

Demonstrate bag-mask ventilation technique with two-person coordination and correct tidal volume for a 70 kg adult and a 10 kg child.

List five signs of ineffective ventilation and the immediate corrective action for each.

Map the adult cardiac arrest algorithm from recognition through post-resuscitation care, writing each decision point and drug dose from memory.

Practice high-quality chest compressions on a manometer-equipped trainer, targeting a compression fraction above 80 percent across a simulated 10-minute cycle.

Interpret 12-lead patterns for STEMI, hyperkalemia, and sodium-channel blocker toxicity, and state the immediate action for each.

Differentiate unstable tachyarrhythmias and bradyarrhythmias and state when synchronized cardioversion or pacing is indicated.

Rehearse defibrillator operation, including pad placement, artifact troubleshooting, and safe clearance calls.

Construct a differential framework for acute dyspnea that separates asthma, COPD, pulmonary edema, pulmonary embolism, and pneumothorax by findings and first-line treatment.

Apply a stroke recognition screen and list time-critical transport and notification steps within the therapeutic window.

Compare hypoglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic states by presentation, glucose findings, and field management limits.

Outline the anaphylaxis pathway from trigger recognition through epinephrine dosing, repeat dosing, and observation criteria.

Identify red-flag abdominal pain presentations that require urgent surgical destination rather than scene management.

Perform a structured primary and secondary survey on a simulated trauma patient and verbalize every finding in a standard handover format.

Apply the trauma triage criteria to six written scenarios and justify transport destination and mode.

Demonstrate hemorrhage control sequence from direct pressure through wound packing and tourniquet application on a trainer.

Recognize and manage tension pneumothorax, cardiac tamponade, and massive hemothorax within a rapid transport decision.

Integrate scene findings, mechanism, and vital trends into a working impression and state the top three differentials.

Outline the stages of labor and demonstrate imminent delivery management including shoulder dystocia maneuvers on a trainer.

Manage postpartum hemorrhage with uterine massage, fundal assessment, and transport prioritization.

Calculate weight-based pediatric doses and equipment sizes for three weights using a length-based or age-based reference.

Adapt assessment and dosing for a patient over 75 with polypharmacy and for a patient above 150 kg, including equipment limits.

Identify safeguarding and consent considerations when assessing a pregnant minor or a cognitively impaired older adult.

Build a medication table covering indication, adult and pediatric dose, route, contraindication, and adverse effect for the drugs in your scope of practice.

Demonstrate the five rights and independent double-check for a high-alert medication in a simulated administration.

Calculate infusion rates and dilution volumes for five weight-based drips without a calculator error.

Sequence donning and doffing of personal protective equipment and identify three common contamination breaches.

Apply standard, contact, droplet, and airborne precautions to five written exposure scenarios and state post-exposure steps.

Identify placard classes and initial isolation distances for a chlorine release and a flammable liquid spill using a reference guide.

Outline incident command roles and your span of control during a multi-casualty scene.

Write a complete patient care report from a simulated call that meets documentation standards for findings, interventions, and refusals.

Apply an ethical and legal framework to refusal of care, capacity assessment, and mandatory reporting.

Describe vehicle extrication and rescue scene safety priorities, including hazard identification before patient contact.

Complete two full-length timed practice exams and log every missed item by domain.

Re-teach the three weakest domain topics aloud as if instructing a new colleague.

Re-run one cardiac arrest and one trauma scenario end to end to confirm retention of earlier weeks.

Review the medication table and airway map for currency and correct any gaps found during practice testing.

Set a test-day plan covering sleep, timing per question, and a strategy for flagged items.
