Medical Emergencies: CPR, Toxicology, and Wilderness

You will study states of shock and resuscitation principles in the first module. The other topic, resuscitation, will go over how to treat and reverse shock, as well as how to treat cardiac arrest. They'll go over the most recent scientific findings as well as best practices in cardiac arrest resuscitation.

They will learn about poisonings, or toxicologic ingestions, in the next module. There's an entire branch of medicine dedicated to understanding how the things they take, whether accidentally or in an attempt to self-harm, affect our bodies. With a rudimentary awareness of the vocabulary, they can delve deeper into the most prevalent poisons encountered in the field, as well as how they affect the body. Environmental emergencies are triggered when the body's physiological activities are interrupted by the patient's natural surroundings, according to the third module. Many of the body's functions require a constant temperature to work effectively, thus a shift in temperature might cause them to fail. Cold or hot temperature changes, illnesses, and injuries caused by other animals, high altitude ailments, and injuries or illnesses related to water, such as drowning, are all examples of environmental emergencies.

They will cover subjects that an EMT may encounter that do not fit into the previous parts in the final module. The crucial "other" factors can pose complications for patients. An EMT's job is to advocate for your patient and offer the best possible care. Taking the time to grasp your patient's experience and critically think about the complaint, especially if it's difficult to diagnose, is a big part of it. They will also concentrate on disorders involving the gastrointestinal tract, renal system, and reproductive system in the abdomen.
