If you are a Physician Assistant working in Emergency Medicine, you know that the pace is relentless and the clinical demands are high. Staying current with the NCCPA Blueprint isn't just about passing an exam; it’s about maintaining the sharp diagnostic skills required to manage high-acuity patients. Our panre review course is designed specifically to help you knock out your CME requirements while sharpening those clinical instincts.
Whether you are preparing for the traditional PANRE or participating in the PANRE-LA, you need a resource that respects your time. We provide an efficient path to earning 100 hours of AAPA Category 1 credit: the maximum allowed for a single self-assessment activity. Because this is a self-assessment credit, the NCCPA applies an additional 50% weighting, making these 100 credits essentially worth 150 toward your total requirement.
We understand that as a medical professional, you often have an annual CME allowance provided by your employer. To help you further enrich your professional life and personal education, we offer cme gift cards as an add-on to your purchase.
It is important to clarify: these are NOT free gifts. They are a purposeful add-on that you choose to include in your package. You can add an Amazon or Apple Gift Card ranging from $100 to $1,500 to your order. This allows you to use your CME funds to not only secure top-tier board review materials but also to purchase the hardware, books, or supplies you need to keep your practice running smoothly.
Emergency Medicine is one of the most broad and challenging sections of the NCCPA Blueprint. From cardiovascular emergencies to orthopedic trauma, you have to know a little bit of everything: and you have to know it well. Our content was written by physician assistants for physician assistants, ensuring the material is relevant to your actual practice.
While the primary focus of this 100-hour package is the panre review course, the clinical depth makes it an excellent choice for pance prep courses as well. Nurse practitioners and physicians also frequently purchase these packages for the high-yield clinical content and Category 2 credits, though PAs remain the primary audience for the AAPA Category 1 accreditation.
In the ER, some diagnoses cannot wait for a chest X-ray. Tension pneumothorax is a classic "can't miss" clinical diagnosis that requires immediate intervention. When a patient presents with respiratory distress and hemodynamic instability, your clinical assessment must be rapid and accurate.
Recognizing the shift in the mediastinum and the compromise of venous return is critical. This is a life-threatening condition where the air enters the pleural space but cannot escape, leading to increased intrathoracic pressure.
In our PANRE Review Course, we dive deep into the NCCPA Blueprint content areas, including pulmonary and cardiovascular emergencies, to ensure you are ready for both the boards and the bedside.
Your patient is a 24-year-old male who was brought to the Emergency Department by EMS following a high-speed motor vehicle collision (MVC). He was the unrestrained driver. Upon arrival, the patient is in obvious respiratory distress.
Physical Exam Findings:
Question:
Which of the following is the most appropriate next step in the management of this patient?
A) Obtain a stat portable chest X-ray
B) Perform immediate needle thoracostomy
C) Perform a FAST exam to look for pericardial tamponade
D) Intubate the patient for respiratory failure
E) Order a CT scan of the chest with IV contrast
The correct answer is B) Perform immediate needle thoracostomy.
Immediate needle thoracostomy is the correct answer because this patient exhibits the classic clinical triad of tension pneumothorax: respiratory distress, hypotension (obstructive shock), and absent breath sounds with tracheal deviation. In an unstable patient, tension pneumothorax is a clinical diagnosis. Waiting for imaging, such as a portable chest X-ray (A) or a CT scan (E), is contraindicated as the delay can lead to cardiac arrest.
While a FAST exam (C) is part of the standard trauma workup, it does not take precedence over decompressing a suspected tension pneumothorax when the patient is hemodynamically unstable with clear pulmonary findings. Intubation (D) may be necessary eventually, but positive pressure ventilation can actually worsen a tension pneumothorax by increasing the rate of air accumulation in the pleural space; decompression must happen first.
The definitive treatment following needle decompression is the insertion of a formal tube thoracostomy (chest tube), but the immediate life-saving step in this scenario is decompression.
