Anyone know where I can see all the newest AHA CPR guidelines so I can study them for my NREMT? Also this is an area specific question, but does anyone know of good schools in Rhode Island kind of close to MA that do a MAST class and maybe an Endotracheal Intubation class? Thank you all and stay safe.

New AHA guidelines are supposed to be published in October.

I'm just looking for some place to look at the current one. I'm just trying reassure I know it. From what I've heard the national is harder than the state test I took.

if you just want to get practice at doing something, call up a local EMT school or ambulance company, they may show you how to do it and run through it with you. I did that in louisiana when i had to take my nr practicals since i was reciprocity

The thing is it isn't actually doing CPR. I was using emt-nation-training.com and it seemed on some of the breathing questions I picked the wrong breaths per a minute some times. Which makes me wonder because I pretty sure I still know CPR so I'm just not sure why I keep getting them wrong. It just might be how they worded the question or something but I just wanted to make sure. :wacko:

it was probablly the wording. I know that the wording on the NREMT can be tricky too. I had the same issue during my MA state written were the numbers for baseline bp were slighty off what i was used to seeing. But remain confident. whatever you learned in class is what is right.

NREMT only use published AHA Guidelines and then allows a grace period of transition until the new procedures and changes have become active. They publish on their website and through their publication when such changes occur.
