National Emergency Medical Responder Certification
When trying to get certified at an Emergency Medical Responder (EMR), the internet can provide you with various information, especially when the internet misleads you to Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). We provide you with information on knowing what an EMR is and the difference between an EMR and an EMT.
What is an Emergency Medical Responder?
An Emergency Medical Responder is a trained person who can immediately render advanced first aid and stabilize patients before the EMT arrives. According to Learn.org, the EMR identifies as a first responder. The lowest level of emergency medical service professionals. The only training organizations that certify Emergency Medical Responders are classes provided through community colleges and training center companies licensed under the EMR brands. Those brands are American Red Cross (ARC), American Safety and Health Institute(ASHI), and the National Safety Council (NSC). Then there is a National EMR Certification.
What is National EMR Certification?
The National Emergency Medical Responders Certification (NEMR) is a certificate that nationally recognizes you from an EMR provider to a national certification. The requirements to become a NEMR are first to complete a state approved emergency medical responder course. Some states have an approved system, and other states do not. When looking for a proper EMR course, you need to make sure it comes from ARC, ASHI, or NSC. You would have had to take the course within the past two years, which means you need to be currently certified. Once you register with the NEMR program, they will determine if you are eligible to take the 75 dollar exam and a didactic exam that is also computer-based.
California Requirement
For example, in California, the Emergency Medical Service Authority does not regulate the EMR programs. The lowest level of EMS training they handle is EMT. So if you are trying to become NEMR, then you had to have gone through a certified EMR training program that is brought to you by American Red Cross (ARC), American Safety and Health Institute (ASHI), or National Safety Council (NSC). The most common EMR training program is the ARC because it follows California's Title 22.
Where do you go to be Emergency Medical Responder Certified?
The first step in becoming an Emergency Medical Responder is to ensure the program certifications are acceptable for your Company or Organization. The Beating Heart Center EMR program accredited through the American Red Cross, American Safety and Health Institute, and The National Safety Council. We will help you acquire your National EMR certification. All of our EMR training includes BLS certification. When your ready, you can register through our EMR Link, or you can give us a call at 619-796-2422. We are happy to help take care of all your Emergency Medical Training needs.
Is Emergency Medical Response EMR course National Register?
There is a website up called National Registry Emergency Medical Technician with a link to EMR certification. National Registry Emergency Medical Technician company is a Training Center just like The Beating Heart Center. They're located in Columbus Ohio, and they provide training for EMR, EMT, Advanced EMT and Paramedics. This company is not the National Registry Board for EMT.
What is the difference between EMR and EMT?
An EMT is an emergency technician who works for the local or governmental emergency responders. This includes the fire department, hospitals, and private EMT companies. The training required as an EMT is a six month to one year course and pass a national registration exam. Once the EMT has passed the national exam then in most states they are required to pass their local state EMT registration exam.
The EMR training requires 48 to 53 hours of education, and it is provided under private register certifiers. These certifiers are The American Red Cross (ARC), National Safety Council (NSC) and American Safety and Health Institute (ASHI). Those organizations provide the EMR training; once you have completed their exams, you will be certified for up to two years. Each state has specific requirements for EMR personnel, and it depends on what type of job they are working. The Emergency Medical Responder program was designed for those who need similar to EMT training but do not need the national registry. EMR courses are great for the following personnel.
Fireman
Lifeguard
Security Guard
Police
Volunteer departments
Park Ranger
California Title 22
In the state of California all emergency medical responders have requires that their training is in compliant of California regulation title 22. This regulation dictates all compliance for all medical responders for any emergencies. In the state of California, the Emergency Medical Responders can only be certified through EMR programs that provide a title 22 certificate. The only program that provides these certifications is the American Red Cross.
The Beating Heart Center is the only EMR training center in Southern California. We provide the training through the traditional class which is a two-week course. The other option is our Blended Challenge program. This is where we send the materials to you via email and upon completion the student meets with an instructor to go over skills training. If you are in need of the EMT training without having to be an EMT, the Emergency Medical Response program will be for you.
There is a significant crisis of opioids in America. One of most potent opioids is Fentanyl. When EMRs respond to medical emergencies associated with opioid issues they could have exposure to the drug like Fentanyl.
[/cs_text][x_custom_headline level="h2" looks_like="h3" accent="false"]What can EMRs do to protect them from Fentanyl Exposure?[/x_custom_headline][cs_text]
[/cs_text][x_blockquote cite="Mr. WordPress" type="left"]“The increased prevalence of fentanyl and other synthetic opioids in the illicit drug market means that first responders need to understand how to protect themselves from exposure in the field. Law enforcement, fire, rescue, and emergency medical services (EMS) personnel must balance safety with mobility and efficiency when responding to scenes where the presence of fentanyl is suspected.”[/x_blockquote][cs_text]
The ONDCP has set up a document called Fentanyl Safety Recommendations for First Responders; it provides unified scientific, evidence-based recommendations for first responders who come onto a scene suspected of fentanyl present. The protection is there for responding to an overdose incident or for police officers conducting traffic stops and arrests.
The document the best practices to prevent exposure to fentanyl. They are as followed.
Wear gloves when the presence of fentanyl is suspected.
AVOID actions that may cause the powder to become airborne.
Use a properly-fitted, NIOSH-approved respirator (“mask”), wear eye protection, and minimize skin contact when responding to a situation where small amounts of suspected fentanyl are visible and may become airborne.
Follow your department guidelines if the scene involves copious amounts of suspected fentanyl (e.g., distribution/storage facility, pill milling operation, clandestine lab, gross contamination, spill or release).

Have you ever been in a situation where it seems that no one is around for miles? Have you thought that I hope we do not break down in this area because of lack of cell service? These questions are good reasons why you should know about Wilderness First Aid. According to Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) when and if a disaster happens it is not guaranteed that FEMA will be there to help. They recommend that each is prepared for most emergencies.
[/cs_text][x_custom_headline level="h2" looks_like="h3" accent="false"]Is Wilderness First Aid only in the Wilderness?[/x_custom_headline][cs_text]
First Aid is a course that's taught for anyone who would like to know how to save a life in a medical emergency. Wilderness training focuses on how to render first aid to a person in need by utilizing the environment. This does not mean only in rural or wilderness locations, but this could be used in situations where current medical responders are overwhelmed or not available. A first aid class allows you to know what to do as long as emergency care is coming shortly.
[/cs_text][x_custom_headline level="h2" looks_like="h3" accent="false"]What Disasters could we face where we need this training?[/x_custom_headline][cs_text]
In California is an excellent example of a disaster zone. The state has beautiful weather and beautiful environments. At the same time almost every year we have earthquakes and devastating firestorms. These two significant events can create havoc and make it almost impossible for a response team to get to you for medical treatment. You will need to know how to treat injuries based on what you have around you.
The best example most organizations like to us is the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. When it hit New Orleans, you see a city with a population that was not prepared to care for itself. In the result of that issue, many more people died than should have.
Wilderness first aid training is to empower you with the ability to know what to do in an emergency situation. The program will show you how to prepare for different conditions and give you the knowledge on how to treat injuries while using the things around you. The better you know your environment, the better chance you have to know what to do in an emergency.
The Beating Heart Center has a new updated version of wilderness first aid coming out next month. Now that spring is in the air, and we are now getting out there to have fun in nature, the Beating Heart Center is here to show you how to be safe.

After the most recent terrorist attack in London and threats from insane countries, we need to be prepare for our worst nightmare. That is a nuclear attack on civilians. From what Benjamin Disraeli, Prime Minister of United Kingdom once said "prepare for the worst and hope for the best". We believe this is most true statement and when you are not prepared for the worst then we tend to run scared. Being scared is apart of the uncertainty but knowing what to do is the power over being scared. We like to show you some things you can do when and if we are attacked by a nuclear device.[/cs_text][x_custom_headline level="h2" looks_like="h3" accent="false"]How do you know if it is a Nuclear Attack?[/x_custom_headline][cs_text]There are not many people alive today who experienced a nuclear attack. When a nuclear device goes off your chance of survival depends on the distance you are from the device. Most have stated that you will see a quick flash brighter than the sun. Then a nuclear wind that can through you off your feet and a red and yellow ball of fire going up to the sky. Then there is a purple haze as the mushroom cloud forms. When people see this their first instinct is to flee and run. Where do you run? The answer is nowhere![/cs_text][x_custom_headline level="h2" looks_like="h3" accent="false"]What you should do in a Nuclear Explosion. [/x_custom_headline][cs_text]What should you do if you are not vaporized in the initial explosion. Most people want to run and they may take their cars. The problem with a car is that there is no where to run and your car give no protection from gamma radiation. There are two types of elements from a nuclear blast is heavy and light elements. The heavy elements will fall from the sky and collect on the ground. The light elements can be taken by the atmosphere jet stream and spread for miles out. The wind on the ground could go in different direction in the jet stream.
The best practice is to find a place that is close to the ground as possible. The ideal location is underground with a lead insulated room. The first 12 to 24 hours after a nuclear device goes off. The worst radiation is from the atoms splitting and fusing together creates a large amount of gamma radiation and radioactive isotopes of atoms. Most of these elements will correct themselves because as atomic parts will differentiate each atom and the half life will be short to a stable isotope.[/cs_text][x_custom_headline level="h2" looks_like="h3" accent="false"]First Aid for Radiation Sickness[/x_custom_headline][cs_text]Radiation sickness is from when gamma rays hits the body and damages the cells. The body cannot repair itself, where the body will deteriorate have wounds that will not heal. Radiation will destroy the bodies immune system and most people will become susceptible to infections. What needs to be done is first bring the patient in a decontamination center and wash the body clean. The next is to keep the person in a clean environment. You need to provide the patient with Potassium Iodide as a measure for the body to repair itself. If you can granulocyte is a protein that helps stimulate white blood cells in the bone marrow. Depending on the exposure will determine the ability for the patient to survive.[/cs_text][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][/cs_content]
A Dangerous Cardiac Condition

One of these cardiac events is Cardiac Tamponade. Cardiac Tamponade is a condition that you might encounter through an external force. This is a medical emergency and is fatal if not treated correctly.[/cs_text][x_custom_headline level="h2" looks_like="h3" accent="false"]What is Cardiac Tamponade[/x_custom_headline][cs_text]Cardiac Tamponade is pressure on the heart that occurs when blood or fluid builds up in the space between the heart muscle and outer covering sac of the heart. According to Medline a national library of medicine the cause of cardiac tamponade is from fluid collecting in the cardiac sac and preventing the ventricles to expand correctly. The problem is the blood will not properly circulate through the body.[/cs_text][cs_text]Here are some of the causes of cardiac tamponade.
gunshot or stab wounds
blunt trauma to the chest from a car or industrial accident
accidental perforation after cardiac catheterization, angiography, or insertion of a pacemaker
punctures made during placement of a central line, which is a type of catheter that administers fluids or medications
cancer that has spread to the pericardial sac, such as breast or lung cancer
a ruptured aortic aneurysm
pericarditis, an inflammation of the pericardium
lupus, an inflammatory disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues
high levels of radiation to the chest
hypothyroidism, which increases the risk for heart disease
a heart attack
kidney failure
infections that affect the heart
[/cs_text][x_custom_headline level="h2" looks_like="h3" accent="false"]How Can you tell if someone is suffering from Cardiac Tamponade?[/x_custom_headline][cs_text]When someone is suffering from Cardiac Tamponade, the symptoms are similar to shock. The most common symptoms are as followed;
anxiety and restlessness
low blood pressure
weakness
chest pain radiating to your neck, shoulders, or back
trouble breathing or taking deep breaths
rapid breathing
discomfort that’s relieved by sitting or leaning forward
fainting, dizziness, and loss of consciousness
Most doctors identify Cardiac Tamponade through three signs known as Becks Triad they are as followed:
low blood pressure and weak pulse because the volume of blood your heart is pumping is reduced
extended neck veins because they’re having a hard time returning blood to your heart
a rapid heartbeat combined with muffled heart sounds due to the expanding layer of fluid inside your pericardium
The doctor can perform subsequent tests to confirm cardiac tamponade. That is an endocardiogram which is similar to an ultrasound of the heart. This will determine if the pericardium is distended and if the ventricles have collapsed due to low blood flow.[/cs_text][x_custom_headline level="h2" looks_like="h3" accent="false"]How is this treated[/x_custom_headline][cs_text]Cardiac Tamponade is a medical emergency and needs to be treated immediately. The first thing is to relieve pressure on the heart by draining the fluid around the heart. The second point treats the underline cause of the condition. In most cases, the cause intertwines with the symptoms. Your doctor will drain the fluid from your pericardial sac, typically with a needle. This procedure is called pericardiocentesis. Your doctor may perform a more invasive procedure called a thoracotomy to drain blood or remove blood clots if you have a penetrating wound. They may remove part of your pericardium to help relieve pressure on your heart.
As a first responder, you need to place the patient in a Trendelenburg position and keep within shock procedures. Then you need to transport to hospital as soon as possible. If possible, you need to maintain any bleeding anywhere from injury or secondary trauma. The Beating Heart Center can have you trained and confident in knowing how to respond in a medical emergency such as cardiac tamponade.[/cs_text][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][/cs_content]

For agencies who want to celebrate their EMS professionals, naemt.orgoffers 10 ways to show your appreciation, including:[/cs_text][cs_text]
Feed your team's soul with lunch (or breakfast or dinner)! Order pizzas, host a pancake breakfast or cater a lunch or dinner for each shift. Bring in a food truck, or host a cookout for employees and their families. You might need to host your event on two separate days to make sure everyone has a change to attend.
Give out goody bags and other swag. Seek out donated gifts from local businesses like movie passes and other area favorites. Remind local businesses that EMS is there 24-7 to keep the community safe and healthy, and their donation would mean a lot to hardworking crews. You can also order commemorative baseball caps, T-shirts, pins, duffle bags, mugs, pens and key chains to show appreciation to your staff.
Recognize a CPR save. Few moments are more meaningful for EMS providers than meeting someone whose life they helped to save. Share the story with the press or through social media. It will have added power if the person whose life was saved is willing to participate in media interviews.
Create an “EMT or Paramedic of the Year” award. Ask for nominations from your crew. Announce your winner during EMS Week and notify the local media. You can also host an awards dinner to recognize the winner and all of your EMS professionals.
