CHF vs Pneumonia | NREMT Review | EMS Education | EMT Lecture

The "Life-Saving Video Vault" EMS Students Use
To Pass School & NREMT On Easy Mode.
(Without Complex, Boring Lectures & Without Struggling Through Textbooks)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This video breaks down the topic of CHF vs Pneumonia. Difficulty breathing is one of the most common calls that we get in 911 EMS.

The thing is both congestive heart failure (CHF) and pneumonia (infection in the lungs) both can have rales on lung sounds. So it is our job in EMS to use our patient assessment skills to determine which and make an EMS treatment plan for the patient.

Whether you are in EMT school, paramedic school, getting ready for NREMT exams (national registry exams), or working an EMT job or paramedic job, this video will be a great refresher and resource for you.

Be Great,

Evan, The Paramedic Coach®

I'm a new EMT just got my first job for a private company doing interhospital transfers and was surprised by how many patients have chf. Lots of them have peripheral edema/ fluid swelling in their legs and go to the hospital for weakness/unable to walk in my experience. Haven't seen the pink frothy sputum yet but, yes rales/irregular lung sounds are common.

We just learned this, this week in my EMT class. Really helped clear up some confusion.

I remembered right and left sided CHF by associating the L in left with edema in (L)ungs
