EMS Study Tips | Anaphylactic vs. Anaphylactoid

Do you know the difference in a anaphylactic reaction and an anaphylactoid reaction? While treatment in EMS is the same, knowing the differences can keep you alert to why something is happening with your patient. This will help you with your documentation and patient presentation as well. Watch this quick Monday Minutes and I hope you enjoy my horrible joke in the beginning (I dunno, it was funny when I wrote it).


What did you think about my joke? Post whether you even chuckled a little bit in the comments.

EMS Study Tips | Learning vs. Memorizing

If you are a paramedic or EMT student, refreshing or brand new. Studying the content for exams is always a task less than favorited. However, being an EMS professional requires you to not merely memorize content that will help your patients but actually know and understand the content and how it’s applied.

So with so much content to absorb, how do you learn it vs. simply memorizing it for an exam? In this EMS study tips video I talk about how you can learn the content required to be a knowledgeable EMS provider. Yes you still may have to memorize certain aspects of what you need to know, but learning the content and understanding it will most certainly help you recall what you need to on exams and out in the field.
