If you're preparing for the NREMT exam, this complete Shock review breaks down every type of shock tested on the NREMT, including hypovolemic, cardiogenic, obstructive, and distributive shock, with distributive shock explained through septic, anaphylactic, and neurogenic shock, plus clear explanations, real EMS decision-making, and BLS and ALS treatment priorities.

This is a full Shock chapter taught the right way — not memorization, but how the NREMT expects you to think. Shock is one of the most heavily tested topics in EMT education, and this video gives you everything you need in one complete, updated review.

Why This Shock Review Works

I’ve taught over 60,000 EMT and Paramedic students since 2020, and shock is consistently one of the most missed topics on the NREMT exam. Students struggle with shock not because they don’t study — but because they don’t understand priorities, patterns, and decision-making.

This video was built to give you clarity, confidence, and exam-ready thinking in one complete shock review.
