Understanding the exact breakdown of the EMT Intermediate 85 test will help you know what to expect and how to most effectively prepare. The EMT Intermediate 85 has multiple-choice questions . The exam will be broken down into the sections below:
| EMT Intermediate 85 Exam Blueprint | ||
|---|---|---|
| Domain Name | % | Number of Questions |
| Airway - Respiration & Ventilation | 17-21% | 19 |
| Cardiology & Resuscitation | 17-21% | 19 |
| Trauma | 18-22% | 20 |
| Medical/Obstetrics/Gyn | 26-30% | 29 |
| EMS Ops | 12-16% | 13 |
EMT Intermediate 85 Study Tips by Domain
- Open the airway with head-tilt–chin-lift unless trauma is suspected; if you suspect C-spine injury, use a jaw-thrust and avoid repeated repositioning as a red flag for missed obstruction.
- Confirm advanced airway placement with continuous waveform capnography whenever available; a persistent ETCO2 <10 mmHg after effective ventilation is a red flag for poor perfusion/CPR quality or dislodgement.
- Ventilate adults at 10/min with visible chest rise and avoid hyperventilation; a common trap is bagging too fast, causing hypotension, gastric inflation, and worsening outcomes.
- Choose oxygen delivery based on need: NRB for significant hypoxia with adequate breathing vs BVM for inadequate ventilation; a priority rule is to treat ventilation failure before chasing SpO2 numbers.
- Use suction early and often, limiting each pass to ≤10 seconds in adults; prolonged suctioning is a red flag for induced hypoxia and bradycardia.
- Recognize obstructive airway emergencies: stridor with retractions suggests upper airway narrowing and requires rapid airway prep, while wheezing with silent chest is a red flag for impending respiratory failure and need for assisted ventilation.
- Start BLS first: check responsiveness, breathing, pulse ≤10 seconds, then begin high-quality CPR (rate 100–120/min, depth 2–2.4 in) with minimal interruptions—red flag is pausing compressions for IV/airway.
- Use the AED/monitor early and follow shockable vs nonshockable pathways; common trap is failing to immediately resume CPR for 2 minutes after a shock (don’t stop to recheck a pulse).
- For adult bradycardia with poor perfusion, give atropine 1 mg IV/IO q3–5 min (max 3 mg) and prepare transcutaneous pacing—contraindication cue: don’t waste time with atropine in high-grade AV block with severe instability.
- For symptomatic tachycardia with a pulse, cardiovert if unstable (hypotension, altered mental status, shock, ischemic chest discomfort, acute heart failure); red flag is giving adenosine to an irregular wide-complex tachycardia.
- In ACS, prioritize aspirin (if no allergy/active bleeding) and early 12-lead acquisition/notification; common trap is delaying transport for repeated on-scene ECGs or nonessential IV attempts.
- For ROSC care, manage oxygenation/ventilation (avoid hyperventilation) and support perfusion (target SBP ≥90 mmHg); red flag is leaving the patient hyperoxic or with ETCO2 persistently <10 mmHg without correcting CPR/ventilation issues.
- Manage massive hemorrhage first in trauma — if direct pressure fails quickly, escalate to tourniquet (high and tight) or hemostatic dressing, and note the time; red flag: repeated dressing changes without controlling bleeding.
- Suspect tension pneumothorax with severe dyspnea, unilateral absent breath sounds, hypotension, and JVD — priority rule: treat immediately per protocol rather than waiting for confirmation; common trap: attributing shock solely to bleeding when chest findings are present.
- Spinal motion restriction is for high-risk mechanisms or neuro deficits, not routine for all trauma; red flag: midline spinal tenderness, paresthesias, or altered mental status warrants stricter precautions and careful extrication.
- Shock in trauma is hemorrhagic until proven otherwise — prioritize rapid transport, warming, and permissive hypotension if allowed by protocol; common trap: delaying transport for multiple on-scene IV attempts.
- Head injury care hinges on preventing secondary injury — maintain oxygenation and avoid hypotension; red flag: unequal pupils, worsening headache/vomiting, or declining GCS requires rapid transport to a trauma-capable facility.
- Handle open fractures and impaled objects by controlling bleeding, covering with sterile moist dressings, and stabilizing in place; contraindication: do not remove impaled objects except per protocol for airway/CPR access or uncontrolled bleeding.
- Suspected hypoglycemia: treat if glucose <60 mg/dL or you can’t obtain a reading and the patient is altered; red flag is giving oral glucose to someone who can’t swallow or protect the airway.
- Opioid overdose: support ventilation first and titrate naloxone to adequate breathing (not full wakefulness); common trap is pushing a full dose rapidly and triggering withdrawal/agitation with recurrent hypoventilation.
- Suspected stroke/TIA: determine last known well and check glucose early; priority rule is minimize on-scene time and transport to a stroke-capable facility rather than trying to normalize blood pressure in the field.
- Seizures: protect from injury and treat hypoxia/hypoglycemia; red flag is ongoing seizure activity >5 minutes or repeated seizures without return to baseline (status epilepticus) requiring rapid airway/benzodiazepine per protocol.
- Obstetrics emergency: for postpartum hemorrhage, prioritize fundal massage and rapid transport while treating for shock; common trap is overlooking uterine atony when bleeding is brisk after delivery.
- Obstetrics preeclampsia/eclampsia: suspect with hypertension plus headache, visual changes, RUQ/epigastric pain, or seizures; contraindication cue is avoid delaying transport to “wait it out”—manage airway/oxygenation and prepare for recurrent seizures per protocol.
- Scene size-up follows NREMT priorities: BSI, scene safety, mechanism/NOI, additional resources; red flag—entering an unsafe scene without staging (law enforcement, fire, hazmat) is a common test trap.
- Triage uses START/JumpSTART principles: tag based on respirations/perfusion/mental status, not injury appearance; red flag—failing to open the airway once in a nonbreathing patient before tagging.
- Safe patient movement: choose the device for the situation (stretcher vs. backboard vs. stair chair), and secure patient before moving; red flag—lifting/moving before straps and side rails are set.
- Ambulance operations: use due regard, seat belts for all, and secure all equipment; red flag—unrestrained crew or loose gear becomes a projectile in sudden stops or crashes.
- Communications/documentation: give concise radio reports (age/sex, chief complaint, vitals, interventions, ETA) and document times; trap—omitting reassessment findings after an intervention can make care appear incomplete.
- Consent/refusal: assess decision-making capacity, explain risks/benefits/alternatives, and obtain signatures/witness when possible; red flag—accepting a refusal from a patient who is intoxicated, hypoxic, or otherwise lacks capacity.
