QCHP Paramedic study plan

Differentiate indications, contraindications, and sizing for oropharyngeal, nasopharyngeal, supraglottic, and endotracheal airways

Sequence the steps of a rapid sequence intubation attempt and state the pre-oxygenation target and confirmation methods

Calculate oxygen flow and FiO2 for nasal cannula, simple mask, non-rebreather, and bag-valve-mask at given liter flows

Interpret waveform capnography tracings to distinguish adequate ventilation, esophageal placement, and dislodgement

Perform a structured primary and secondary assessment on three written patient scenarios and document findings in a standard format

Prioritize interventions in a deteriorating-airway scenario within a stated time sequence

Distinguish ventilation failure from oxygenation failure and select the matching intervention

Construct a differential diagnosis list for a patient presenting with dyspnea and altered mental status

Apply the current cardiac arrest algorithm to adult shockable and non-shockable scenarios, stating drug doses and timing

Differentiate the 12-lead ECG patterns of STEMI, pericarditis, and benign early repolarization using stated criteria

Classify tachyarrhythmias as stable or unstable and select synchronized cardioversion versus pharmacologic rate control

Explain the mechanism and prehospital management sequence for cardiogenic shock and acute pulmonary edema

Integrate history, ECG, and hemodynamic findings into a single working diagnosis for five mixed cardiac and respiratory cases

Justify each transport destination and mode decision using patient acuity and time-criticality

Identify the three most common cognitive errors (anchoring, premature closure, confirmation bias) in written case reviews and correct them

Apply a systematic musculoskeletal and neurovascular assessment to extremity injury scenarios, documenting pulses, sensation, and motor function before and after splinting

Select the appropriate splinting and immobilization approach for femur, pelvic, and spinal injury scenarios

Sequence the prehospital management priorities for hemorrhagic shock, tension pneumothorax, and traumatic brain injury

Distinguish burns requiring referral from those manageable in the field, using depth and body-surface-area estimation

Differentiate the prehospital presentation and initial management of hypoglycemia, stroke, seizure, and anaphylaxis

Calculate weight-based pediatric and adult medication doses for at least eight commonly carried drugs and verify each against a stated maximum

State the indication, dose, route, onset, and major adverse effect for each drug in the local formulary

Identify the five rights of medication administration in three written order-and-administration scenarios, including one with a deliberate error to catch

Sequence the prehospital management of normal and complicated delivery, including postpartum hemorrhage and shoulder dystocia

Distinguish imminent delivery from false labor using stated assessment findings

Adapt assessment and dosing for pediatric patients across at least three age bands

Identify safeguarding red flags in obstetric and pediatric presentations and state the required reporting action

Apply scene-safety and hazard assessment principles to written scenarios involving traffic, hazardous materials, and violence

State emergency vehicle operation and patient-transport safety principles, including restraint and driver-fatigue considerations

Summarize the professional, ethical, and confidentiality obligations that govern paramedic practice in Qatar's healthcare system

Identify the regulatory and scope-of-practice boundaries relevant to prehospital practice in Qatar and where to verify them
