This high-impact course is designed to enhance the confidence and clinical decision-making skills of EMTs in managing cardiac emergencies in the prehospital setting. Through scenario-based learning, case reviews, and hands-on practice, participants will deepen their understanding of cardiac pathophysiology, assessment techniques, and evidence-based interventions.

From chest pain to cardiac arrest, this class focuses on rapid recognition, appropriate BLS care, and seamless coordination with ALS and hospital teams. EMTs will gain critical insight into the subtle warning signs, common pitfalls, and lifesaving interventions that make a difference in time-sensitive cardiac calls.

Key Topics Include:

• Pathophysiology of common cardiac emergencies
• Assessment of chest pain and differential diagnosis
• Recognition of acute coronary syndromes and cardiac arrest
• High-quality CPR and AED optimization
• Special considerations: atypical presentations, pediatric and geriatric patients
• Communication and handoff strategies to ALS and ED teams
• Case-based scenarios and documentation tips

Whether you’re a new EMT or a seasoned provider looking to sharpen your skills, this course will empower you with the tools and knowledge to deliver confident, competent care during cardiac emergencies.

This course provides Advanced Life Support (ALS) providers with the knowledge, clinical decision-making skills, and psychomotor competency required to safely and effectively perform Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI) in the prehospital environment. The program is designed in accordance with New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) Office of EMS regulations, current ALS protocols, and medical director authorization requirements.

Participants will review airway anatomy and physiology, patient assessment, and the identification of candidates appropriate for RSI under NJ-approved indications. Emphasis is placed on risk-benefit analysis, failed airway management, and patient safety, including the prevention of peri-intubation complications.

The course integrates pharmacology of commonly utilized RSI medications (e.g., sedatives and paralytics), ventilatory management, waveform capnography, and post-intubation sedation and analgesia. Providers will also examine legal, ethical, and documentation considerations specific to RSI within New Jersey’s regulatory framework.

The 2^nd edition of NAEMT's Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) course teaches EMS practitioners and other prehospital providers how to respond to and care for patients in a civilian tactical environment.

The course presents the three phases of tactical care and integrates parallel EMS nomenclature:

• Hot Zone/Direct Threat Care that is rendered while under attack or in adverse conditions.
• Warm Zone/Indirect Threat Care that is rendered while the threat has been suppressed but may resurface at any point.
• Cold Zone/Evacuation Care that is rendered while the casualty is being evacuated from the incident site. 

The 16-hour classroom course includes all new patient simulations and covers the following topics:

• Hemorrhage control including immediate action drills for tourniquet application throughout the course;
• Complete coverage of the MARCH assessment;
• Surgical airway control and needle decompression;
• Strategies for treating wounded responders in threatening environments;
• Caring for pediatric patients;
• Techniques for dragging and carrying victims to safety; and
• A final, mass-casualty/active shooter event simulation.

NAEMT's TECC course is endorsed by the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma, is consistent with the current guidelines established by the Committee on TECC (Co-TECC), and meets all of the updated National Tactical Emergency Medical Support Competency Domains. This course is accredited by CAPCE for 16 hours of continuing education credit, and recognized by NREMT.

NAEMT is a recognized education partner of the Co-TECC. The Co-TECC establishes guidelines for the provision of prehospital care to injured patients during a tactical incident. The Co-TECC neither creates curriculum for the prehospital provider, nor does it endorse the curriculum of other organizations.
