    Shock Types Explained | NREMT Shock Review

    If you're preparing for the NREMT exam, this complete Shock review breaks down every type of shock tested on the NREMT, including hypovolemic, cardiogenic, obstructive, and distributive shock, with distributive shock explained through septic, anaphylactic, and neurogenic shock, plus clear explanations, real EMS decision-making, and BLS and ALS treatment priorities. This is a full Shock chapter taught the right way — not memorization, but how the NREMT expects you to think. Shock is one of the most heavily tested topics in EMT education, and this video gives you everything you need in one complete, updated review. Free Shock Study Guide + Free Shock Quiz (with answer key): 👉  https://theparamediccoach.com/study-guide/shock-guide-for-the-nremt/ In this video, I walk you step by step through all shock types, including: • Pathophysiology • Early vs late signs and symptoms • How to recognize shock quickly • BLS treatment priorities • ALS interventions • Transport decisions • Common NREMT trap answers This video uses real EMT and Paramedic clinical thinking, not textbook fluff. You’ll learn how to differentiate shock types fast, what matters most on exam day, and how to avoid the mistakes that cause students to fail shock questions. If shock has ever felt confusing, overwhelming, or like everything blends together — this video will finally make it click.

Students struggle with shock not because they don’t study — but because they don’t understand priorities, patterns, and decision-making.

    Starting Paramedic School? Learn These 3 Lessons First

    If you're preparing to start paramedic school, this in-depth video breaks down the 3 most important lessons every EMT should understand before day one. These are the exact concepts that overwhelm students early in medic school and cause many to struggle unnecessarily. This video is designed to give you a strong head start so you can walk into paramedic school confident and prepared. In this complete paramedic school prep lesson, I focus on the foundations of ECG interpretation, including the electrical conduction system of the heart, basic ECG waveforms, and how to approach a 12-lead ECG the right way. If you understand these three lessons early, paramedic school becomes much more manageable. Join the Video Vault (480 videos + 2,000 practice questions): https://www.prepareforems.com Paramedic school is challenging not because the material is impossible, but because many students are expected to understand cardiology concepts before they truly grasp the basics.

Go Here: https://www.remedialforems.com The EKG/12-Lead EKG Masterclass: https://www.ekgforems.com The NREMT exam is the examination that certifies emergency medical technicians and paramedics. This includes the EMR, EMT, AEMT and Paramedic national registry exams. My aim with this presentation is to give you a concise study plan that you can use to comeback after failing NREMT. We do this by reviewing the national registry content, assessing your knowledge along the way and reviewing NREMT practice questions. At The Paramedic Coach, we have thousands of NREMT candidates pass their national registry exam even after multiple failed attempts. The NREMT exam is broken down into five main parts: Airway, respiration, and ventilation (ARV), cardiology and resuscitation, trauma, medical/OBGYN and EMS operations. At the advanced EMT and paramedic levels we also add a speciality question area called: Clinical Judgement. This is the content areas we need to study to pass the NREMT exam.

    Thinking About Becoming an EMT? (Watch This First)

    Pass School & NREMT Exams, Go Here: https://www.prepareforems.com Need NREMT Recertification? Go Here: https://www.recertforems.com Need NREMT Remedial Training? Go Here: https://www.remedialforems.com The EKG/12-Lead EKG Masterclass: https://www.ekgforems.com This video explains how to get started working on the ambulance service (EMS) and describes the ranks and certification levels of the NREMT. I recommend skipping EMR and jumping right into EMT school as this is true "entry-level" position in a paid ambulance position.  Once you gain field experience, working your way from IFT (inter-facility transport) to getting 911 field experience you make the decision whether you want to go to AEMT or Paramedic school to increase your skills, and salary in EMS.  The benefits of becoming a paramedic include increased salary, more job opportunities, higher responsibility and leadership on EMS scenes and increased training opportunities such as becoming a community paramedic, tactical paramedic or flight/critical care paramedic. But before we jump to paramedic school we need to get field experience and have a solid foundation with basic life support care and ambulance operations.  I hope this video gives you some insight into the schooling and daily life of working as an EMR, EMT, AEMT or Paramedic! On this channel, I help EMS students prepare for school, pass school and pass NREMT exams. Join us for a lesson!  Be great,  Evan, The Paramedic Coach  #ems #emt #paramedic
