3.00 Credits
Provides an in-depth study of the respiratory and cardiovascular system. In the lab, students will learn advanced airway skills, perfect ventilation techniques, and perform basic cardiac rhythm interpretation. An introduction to the pathophysiology and management of cardiovascular and respiratory disorders will be provided. This course serves as a core course for the EMT-Intermediate licensure. (30 lec hours, 30 lab hours) Pre- or Co-requisite: EMS 201
-
2.00 Credits
Serves two major purposes. First, it serves as a fresher for those currently licensed EMT Intermediates wishing to become paramedics. Second, it is a required course for students who will be licensed at the EMT-Intermediate level. Students will review and practice all EMT-I curriculum and skills in an interactive seminar format. The course includes multiple case studies, interactive lab sessions, and creative teaching methods. The course concludes with mandatory skills tests to assure mastery of the topics covered in the EMT-I Curriculum. (15 lec hours, 20 lab hours) Pre- or Co-requisites: EMS 201, EMS 202 or currently licensed EMT-Intermediate
-
3.00 Credits
Provides the opportunity to apply, in the pre-hospital and clinical setting, the didactic knowledge and skills developed in the classroom. Students partner with pre-hospital providers at local ambulance services and clinical preceptors in various healthcare settings to develop skills in clinical decision-making, electro-cardiology, and management of acute and chronic disease. This clinical experience focuses on the skills needed to function at the EMT-Intermediate level. Students completing this course will fulfill the clinical requirements for the EMT-Intermediate licensure level. (150 clinical hours) Pre- or Co-requisites: EMS 201, EMS 202, EMS205, and advisor approval
-
1.00 Credits
Teaches the standardized American Heart Association approach to managing cardiac emergencies and emergency resuscitation. Recommended after completion of EMS 203. (0 lec, 2 lab)
-
5.00 Credits
Provides an in-depth study of the pathophysiology of cardiac and vascular disorders. Topics covered include the physiology, assessment, pharmacology, and treatment of acid base balance disturbances, cardiac rhythm alterations, 12- lead ECG analysis and the acute coronary syndrome. In the lab, students learn advanced paramedic skills such as cardiac arrest management and clinical decision making. Students completing the course will receive a certificate in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS). (There may be an additional cost for ACLS certification). This course meets and exceeds the Maine EMS required objectives for original 12-Lead ECG training. (45 lec hours, 45 lab hours) Pre-requisites: EMS 201, EMS 202, EMS 205, EMS 206, currently licensed EMT-Intermediate, successful completion of all NEEMS required preadmission testing, and advisor approval
-
2.50 Credits
Provides an introduction to emergency pharmacology and an in-depth study of the pathophysiology of airway and pulmonary disease and disorders. Topics covered include the physiology, assessment and treatment of breathing disorders. In the lab, students learn advanced airway procedures such as endotracheal intubation, CPAP, Capnography and clinical decision making. Students completing the course will meet and exceed the objectives of the Maine EMS Paramedic Interfacility Transfer Module (PIFT). (There may be additional cost for ACLS certification.) (30 lec hours, 15 lab hours) Pre-requisites: EMS 201, EMS 202, EMS 205, EMS 206, currently licensed/licensable as an EMT-Intermediate, successful completion of all NEEMS required preadmission testing, and advisor approval
-
3.00 Credits
