Tip of the Week: NREMT Cardiac Skills Part 2

The heart has an internal electrical system that controls the rhythm of the heartbeat. Problems can cause abnormal heart rhythms, called arrhythmias. There are many types of arrhythmia. During an arrhythmia, the heart can beat too fast, too slow, or it can stop beating. Sudden cardiac arrest occurs when the heart develops an arrhythmia that causes it to stop beating. This is different than a heart attack, where the heart usually continues to beat but blood flow to the heart is blocked.

In this week’s follow up episode from the previous NREMT Cardiac Skills Part 1, the podmedic provides additional tips for the NREMT skills for cardiac arrest management as well as tips and what to remember when taking this skills station.
