| Course Name | Course Description | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Remember 2 Things: Being a Better Compressor | We have learned from decades of cardiac arrest data that there is no clinical priority in cardiac arrest that supersedes high quality, uninterrupted chest compressions. Good technique, good hand position and proper rate are essential as a compressor, but there are a few more things you can do that can be helpful for the whole team. This course will provide the learner with a few additional techniques to aid in becoming a better compressor, and what to prioritize when practicing compressions. | 10m |

Uninterrupted high-quality compressions are the cornerstone of a successful resuscitation and anything we can do to reduce pauses in compressions is going to benefit the patient. This course will provide you with ways to prioritize CPR, with less hands off the chest time, while using a manual defibrillator. | 10m |

| Remember 2 Things: Pit Crew Techniques – Defib Pads | Pit crew CPR has dramatic and measurable effects on patient outcomes. Simply learning how to run a cardiac arrest with maximum efficiency has been proven to save lives. In the past, placing defibrillation pads on the patient’s chest was seen as an acceptable delay in compressions. Now we’re realizing that absolutely nothing should delay or interrupt compressions unnecessarily. In this course, the learner will observe new techniques to get defibrillator pads on the patient’s chest faster and better than before. | 10m |
| Remember 2 Things: Pit Crew Techniques – Not Pausing Compressions | Sometimes when we talk about pit crew CPR techniques and reducing interruptions in compressions we get focused on how we can refine our technique with a manual defibrillator to reduce that hands-off-the-chest time, but we don’t always consider our EMT providers who may be using an AED. Some may believe that AEDS need a lot of time to analyze and shock, and that there’s really nothing we can do but sit there and watch. There are actually two periods when you can continue CPR while using an AED that we don’t always take advantage of. This course will provide you with some common delays in compressions while using an AED, and give you the techniques to avoid them. | 10m |

| Remember 2 Things: Radio Communications on Repeaters | If your radio communications are like most in EMS, you deliver most of your radio traffic over a repeated radio channel. That has some excellent advantages, but it also can lend itself to some common problems. In this episode of Remember 2 Things, we will discuss how to avoid common issues with repeated channels. | 10m |

They crash the channel in the middle of other traffic, they key up accidentally and they can never seem to get a clean signal and have to repeat themselves over and over. In this lesson, we will teach you two ways to make sure you are not that person. | 10m |
| Remember 2 Things: Reducing Hands Off The Chest Time | The goal of pit crew CPR is to teach providers to focus on what’s most important and refine their current techniques. As our cardiac arrest management has shifted to continuous high-quality compressions, we’ve also shifted our focus to changing out the compressor more often. We now know that even our strongest, fittest providers begin to lose form after 200 compressions and by 300 compressions our effectiveness at chest compressions have dropped significantly. Compressors need to switch about every two minutes or 200 compressions. With that, there is potential for time delays in compressions. This course will provide the learner with some techniques to avoid those delays when switching compressors. | 10m |
