You are treating a trauma patient who has lost approximately 1500 mL of blood and his bleeding has been controlled, but hypothermia is beginning to set in. Hypothermia will cause serious further complications in the shock patient. Hypothermia is of great concern because of all of these factors except: - Inhibited blood clotting ability - Cardiac conduction disruptions - Burning all the body's energy reserves from shivering - Decreased tidal volume of respirations

The NREMT exam asks questions on these topics: - Airway, Respiration & Ventilation - Cardiology & Resuscitation - Trauma - Medical/Obstetrics/Gynecology - EMS Operations All sections, except EMS Operations, have a content distribution of 85% adult and 15% pediatrics [based questions].  Topic weightage: For the EMT exam, 18%-22% of questions asked will cover airway, respiration, and ventilation; 20%-24% will cover cardiology and resuscitation; 14%-18% will cover trauma; 27%-31% will cover medical/obstetrics/gynecology; and 10%-14% will cover EMS operations.  For the EMR, advanced EMT...

The NREMT exam asks questions on these topics:

- Airway, Respiration & Ventilation
- Cardiology & Resuscitation
- Trauma
- Medical/Obstetrics/Gynecology
- EMS Operations

All sections, except EMS Operations, have a content distribution of 85% adult and 15% pediatrics [based questions]. 

Topic weightage: For the EMT exam, 18%-22% of questions asked will cover airway, respiration, and ventilation; 20%-24% will cover cardiology and resuscitation; 14%-18% will cover trauma; 27%-31% will cover medical/obstetrics/gynecology; and 10%-14% will cover EMS operations. 
For the EMR, advanced EMT and paramedic exams, the numbers differ only by 1%-2% in each category. 

Note: The NREMT exam bases questions off of the National EMS Education Standards, current accepted practices of EMS, and Current AHA Guidelines for CPS and ECC (Emergency Cardiovascular Care).
