    NREMT and New BLS/ACLS Guidelines

    I did a search and couldn't find this... Studying for the NREMT-P test. Have the new BLS and ACLS guidelines been added to the NREMT-P test? Meaning should you no longer answer Epi/Atropine for PEA or now use CAB instead of ABC for codes? I thought I heard they transitioned the test as of...
