NREMT AEMT study plan

Label the anatomy of the upper and lower airway and trace the path of airflow from nares to alveoli on a blank diagram

Differentiate the indications, contraindications, and sizing rules for oropharyngeal, nasopharyngeal, supraglottic, and advanced airway devices

Demonstrate a sequential airway management algorithm (position, suction, OPA/NPA, BLS airway, advanced airway) aloud for four patient scenarios

Calculate and compare minute ventilation, tidal volume, and respiratory rate relationships for adult, pediatric, and geriatric patients

Interpret pulse oximetry, capnography waveform, and blood gas values to classify oxygenation versus ventilation failure

Select the correct oxygen delivery device and flow rate for six written patient presentations

Explain the mechanics of positive pressure ventilation and bag-valve-mask technique with two-rescuer coordination

Distinguish the signs of respiratory distress, respiratory failure, and respiratory arrest and state the ventilation trigger point for each

Identify all lethal and non-lethal cardiac rhythms from rhythm strips and state the required immediate action for each

Sequence the AEMT cardiac arrest algorithm including compression quality metrics, defibrillation energy settings, and drug timing

Explain the indications, doses, and contraindications for epinephrine, amiodarone, lidocaine, and atropine in the AEMT scope

Differentiate chest pain presentations that require immediate transport, 12-lead acquisition, or aspirin/nitroglycerin administration

Apply a unified assessment approach to a simulated patient who deteriorates from dyspnea into cardiac arrest

Perform 12-lead acquisition and identify ST elevation in at least three territories on practice tracings

Justify medication choices during resuscitation using the current AHA sequence without referencing notes

Self-audit the first four weeks of notes and rewrite any incorrect or outdated facts into a corrected summary sheet

Classify hemorrhagic shock by estimated blood loss and match each class to the appropriate fluid and transport decision

Demonstrate the order of operations for controlling external hemorrhage, including wound packing, pressure dressing, and tourniquet application

Differentiate blunt versus penetrating trauma assessment priorities using mechanism of injury

Explain the indications and contraindications for spinal motion restriction and when to clear a c-spine

Recognize and prioritize life threats in head, chest, abdominal, and musculoskeletal trauma scenarios

Identify burn severity using rule of nines and state the fluid resuscitation and transport criteria

Match the AEMT formulary medications to their indications, adult and pediatric doses, routes, and adverse effects

Differentiate the presentations of altered mental status from hypoglycemia, stroke, seizure, and overdose and state the field treatment for each

Apply the assessment-based care model to obstetric, pediatric, and behavioral emergency scenarios and list the field decision points

Explain the legal and ethical boundaries governing consent, refusal, restraint, and mandatory reporting in prehospital care

Sequence the steps of an EMS response from dispatch through handoff, including documentation requirements and radio report structure

Describe the safety and operational considerations for scene size-up, hazardous materials awareness, and multi-casualty triage

Complete full-length timed practice exams under test-day conditions and review every missed item back to its source concept

Re-teach the three weakest concepts from weeks 1 through 7 in writing, without notes, and verify accuracy

Rehearse the psychomotor skill sheets most likely to appear on the practical exam and self-score each against the published criteria

Build a final-week review schedule that allocates remaining study time proportional to missed-question frequency by domain
