Heart disease has been the leading cause of death in the world for over a century – and the numbers are climbing. When you respond to a call for chest pain or even shortness of breath, you should have a high index of suspicion that you may be dealing with an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Throughout this course, we’ll discuss how to catch these events early and what to do to ensure the patient has the best possible outcome.

Airway management is one of the most fundamental—and most misunderstood—skills in EMS. This course reviews the building blocks of effective BLS airway care, from anatomy and physiology to patient positioning and airway adjunct selection. Whether you’re managing a trauma patient, an altered mental status call, or a respiratory emergency, this course reinforces that great airway management starts with great fundamentals and moving beyond the concept of “adequate” breathing.

Your friend sneaks out from behind a door and scares you. You feel your heart rate quicken a little. Not a problem. A slightly faster heart rate, between 100 and 150 beats per minute, can’t hurt anyone, right? In this course, we’ll uncover common causes of sinus tachycardia, and not all of them are benign. Sinus tachycardia is a compensatory response with several physiological causes. Your job is to catch the problem quickly, while your intervention can still make a difference.

What do you do with a patient who has a very fast heart rate and you can’t identify an underlying condition? What if the heart rate itself is the problem? Learn to make time-critical decisions and prioritize your most effective interventions first. We will demystify tachycardia in this course as we explore AVRT, AVNRT, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, ventricular tachycardia, and torsades de pointes, with considerations for Wolff-Parkinson White syndrome.
