My flight program requires that our medics obtain these certifications - so I have had to help out many of them getting through these exams.

What I can recommend is a multi-angled approach.

First, consider a review book - this will just provide an outline of what material is testable. Of the ones I've looked at, the The Resource and Study Guide for Critical Care Clinicians is the best one of the ones I've seen. Expensive though.

Next you'll need an actual text to help fill in the blanks. Critical Care Transport 2ed is a solid text - and this edition is brand new. Honestly though, if you can get an older edition for cheap, I'd just do that.

Critical Care Transport Core Cirriculum is an intriguing book - joint project between ASTNA and the IAFCCP. I haven't seen it personally, but I've heard good things, and it's also quite pricy.

Next I would consider a mechanical ventilation text - the vent section of most CCT textbooks is pretty scant. I enjoy the FlightBridge vent text - Ventilator Management: A Pre-Hospital Perspective.

Next you'll want something with lots of practice questions. For this I like the IAFCCP practice text: IAFCCP Critical Care Exam Review. There are other ones, like the well known Will Wingfield book which are also worthwhile. You can't go wrong with lots of practice questions.

Don't forget the riveting CAMTS 10th Edition Guidelines. Read those. Try not to fall asleep.

Finally, podcasts - consider podcasts specifically from FlightBridge as you mentioned, but also Meducation Specialists. They both provide lots of great info and each have a series speaking specifically to exams.

Hopefully this gives you a good start.

Good luck!

If you are looking into going aviation, I would recommend, Back to Basics, EMS -Ventilator Management, and ACE SAT. Those three books were the only thing needed to pass both the FP-C and the CFRN. I took them both in the same week, and they were virtually identical tests.

That and I used Med Cram or EM Crit when I needed visual references or a different approach to a subject.

Aviation is fun.

Have a linky to a website focusing on military medicine. It's pretty good, and it covers mostly major trauma and your basic medical emergencies. Other than that, pick up an EMT book from Amazon. There is no need to get the newest edition, see if you can find some older ones for cheap.

If you're really interested, look up a wilderness first responder or EMT class in your area and get some formal education.

I've heard good things about this book http://www.amazon.com/Ventilator-Management-A-Pre-Hospital-Perspective/dp/1492299642

I haven't read it, but I listen to the guys podcast and he knows his stuff.

And the problem is stuff like that goes under the rug. I can't remember the citation clearly, but in my EMS textbooks for school, one of the reasons there's burnout and distaste in the emergency responder field (EMS, LEO, FD, etc) is lack of recognition of good outcomes and more focus on bad, on top of low pay, terrible working conditions, and other reasons. A quick recap of reddit over the last few months yields cops shooting dogs, firefighters running over patients, and NSA this, NSA that.

Props to this cop for sticking to his convictions. I would ask if he could do it all over again, would he go for academy again?
