EMERGENCY AND MEDICAL TRAINING GROUP Ltd

We at EMTG are proud to announce a series of online case-based lectures on the prehospital response to a variety of cardiovascular emergencies. Each lecture will be based around a cardiac case study.

"Advanced Medical Life Support (AMLS) remains the gold standard of education for emergency medical assessment and treatment." NAEMT website.

Learners take the online 8 hour section of the course at their own pace prior to course attendance. Thi

When given by prehospital providers for suspected significant hemorrhage, TXA reduces 24-hour mortality but doesn’t affect 28-30-day mortality. Interesting new article on TXA that seems to leave us with more questions than answers. https://us3.campaign-archive.com/?e=7527ce3070&u=827fa052009e49f904cc3c386&id=c0dd39f9df

Churchill once said, "The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is." This has to be one of my favourite quotes. Please forgive me if I seem to ramble through this blog but I would like to discuss an issue that has been on my mind for quite some time. This goes along the lines of something like this; Why are so many organisations so inefficient and badly run? and perhaps even more compelling, why do we as employees o

I note that the scenarios we are compelled to provide our students by various qualifying bodies have a positive outcome. If the student does everything right in the scenarios, the patient usually responds and gets better. The patients who die are typically the result of a student doing something wrong or missing an important finding. That’s not the way real life works. Sometimes we do things wrong and the patient isn’t harmed. Sometimes we do everything right and the patient

The original Ten Commandments of Emergency Medicine were published 30 years ago by Wrenn and Slovis. Medicine, especially emergency medicine, has changed in the interim. Here is a modern update on the original classic article. https://us3.campaign-archive.com/?e=7527ce3070&u=827fa052009e49f904cc3c386&id=d36eeda0ac

At EMTG all we do is train hospital and prehospital professionals. We are not an add on to a private ambulance service or event company.

The NAEMT online section of the course and the ebook are included in the price. Book your place on a

Am I the only one missing the opportunity to choose between two isotonic crystalloids when confronted with various patients in the prehospital arena? Interesting in regards the use of Lactated Ringer's in the hyperkalemic patient. https://us3.campaign-archive.com/?e=7527ce3070&u=827fa052009e49f904cc3c386&id=49f8e06185 Your thoughts please?

"Accurate assessment of CPR skills is critical to helping learners to improve performance. Prior studies demonstrate that the visual assessment of CPR quality is neither reliable or accurate, making it challenging for instructors to provide consistently meaningful feedback during CPR training. Feedback devices address this problem by providing objective feedback to learners and instructors during practice. CPR feedback devices can be grouped into 2 categories: corrective feed

Our latest FREC 3 students just worked through 2 consecutive weekends of FREC 3. We used virtual gaming for their resuscitation training which gave them a debrief after each attempt allowing them to prioritise and "lead virtual" cardiac arrests. They also used the Virtual Reality Patient Communicator Simulator to hone their patient communication skills. They received instant feedback on their performance and at each new attempt with their Virtual Patient there was marked imp
