Sections of the EMT Test
Airway, Respiration, and Ventilation
The respiratory system has many parts and its function can affect the success of emergency treatment, including patient care during unrelated emergencies. Proper assessment and treatment involves understanding how it is supposed to work and what to do if things go wrong. Use this study guide to give you an idea of exactly what you need to study to do well on the airway questions on the EMT test.
Cardiology and Resuscitation
Emergencies with cardiovascular and resuscitation components require a great deal of knowledge and skill with regard to the body systems involved. Use this study guide to help you define what you need to know and gain a basic understanding of what is required to treat such an emergency.
EMS Operations
As with all sections of the EMT test, your best study resource is the class textbook. In this study guide, we have provided an outline of the topics and terms you need to know and fully understand. Use it to guide your review as you prepare and remember that your goal is much more than passing an exam. It is to be a fully qualified and competent emergency services provider.
