Why Air Medical & Research matters
Air Medical & Research is a commonly tested topic on the NREMT Paramedic Certification because it covers fundamental knowledge required for competent professional practice.
Sample Practice Questions (5)
1. When approaching a helicopter on a landing zone, ground personnel should ALWAYS approach from the:
- Front (12 o'clock position) in view of the pilot, and from the downhill side on sloped terrain
- Rear near the tail rotor for quickest access
- Either side at the 3 or 9 o'clock position
- Any direction as long as you are crouching
2. A study reports that a new prehospital antiarrhythmic has a Number Needed to Treat (NNT) of 5 for survival to hospital discharge in refractory ventricular fibrillation. What does this mean?
- For every 5 patients treated with the drug, 1 additional patient survives to hospital discharge compared to standard care
- 5 out of every 100 patients treated with the drug will survive
- The drug must be given 5 times before it is effective
- 5 patients must be enrolled in the study for the results to be significant
3. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) is considered a high level of evidence because it:
- Randomly assigns subjects to treatment and control groups, minimizing selection bias and confounding variables
- Studies the largest number of patients compared to other study types
- Is always double-blinded and placebo-controlled
- Eliminates the need for statistical analysis

- Statistically combines results from multiple studies to produce a pooled estimate of effect with greater statistical power
- Uses a larger sample size within a single study design
- Follows patients for a longer period of time
- Eliminates the possibility of bias in the included studies
5. A Cochrane review on prehospital tourniquet use concludes that tourniquets reduce mortality in severe extremity hemorrhage. A paramedic should interpret this finding as:
- High-quality synthesized evidence that strongly supports tourniquet use, as Cochrane reviews are rigorous systematic reviews with strict methodology
- A single expert opinion that requires validation by local research
- Conclusive proof that eliminates the need for clinical judgment in tourniquet application
- An interesting finding that has no practical application until approved by local protocol
