NRCME exam
3 standards for certification if affected person on anticoagulation for a CV situation - ANS-1.
Stable on meds for 1 month
2. Provide replica of INR at examination
three. Have INR checked and monitored as a minimum monthly
three necessities for a passing ETT - ANS-1. Extended SBP of at the least 20 with out
angina
2. Workload potential >6 METs
3. No large ST melancholy
4 reasons to DQ a pulmonary hypertension patient - ANS-1. Dyspnea at rest
2. Dizziness
three. Hypotension
4. PaO2 <65mmHg
5 reasons to DQ a driver with AAA - ANS-1. Symptomatic
2. AAA >5cm
three. AAA 4-five cm and does now not have clearance from a heart specialist
four. AAA increased in length 0.5cm in 6 months
5. Surgical restore changed into encouraged but no longer achieved
6 neuromuscular situations which might be automated DQ - ANS-1. Congenital myopathies
2. Metabolic muscle diseases
three. Motor neuron illnesses

6. Peripheral neuropathies
Apnea-hypopnea index of [blank] or more episodes in step with hour is diagnostic of OSA -
ANS-30
BP above which you can't certify until reduced below one hundred forty/90 - ANS-one
hundred eighty/a hundred and ten - and then this patient can only be certified for 6 months
BP above which you need to deal with and do one time 3 month certificates - ANS-160/one
hundred. For a hundred and forty/ninety and above up to this stage, it says 3 month
certificates however does now not say have to treat.
Diabetics on insulin who've an exemption certificates ought to check sugars when? -
ANS-before driving and every 2-four hours while riding
Do not certify for slight aortic stenosis in the event that they have 1 of those 5 matters -
ANS-angina, CHF, A fib, LVEF <50%, thromboembolic sickness
, Examiners should preserve statistics for how many years? - ANS-3
Federal exemption for monocular vision: can certify for the way lengthy? - ANS-1 12 months
Glaucoma reasons what foremost scientific situation? - ANS-loss of peripheral imaginative
and prescient
listening to requirements - ANS-whisper at no longer much less than 5 feet better ear, or
average listening to loss no greater than 40 dB at 500Hz, 1000Hz, 2000 Hz.
How many of these rules are stupid and arbitrary as hell? - ANS-I'm gonna say forty%
How regularly to repeat echo for aortic stenosis? (answer for both slight and moderate AS) -
ANS-Mild: 5 years
mild: 1-2 years
if FEV1 on pulm feature checking out is < (blank) % of predicted, then ought to also check
ABG - ANS-65%
If pulse oximetry is less than clean, you need to do ABG - ANS-92% (you would do the heart
beat ox if FEV1 <sixty five% of expected or FEV1/FVC ratio <65%)
If you have a fixed (not progressive) deficit of an extremity, you can be certified normally if
you have this thing - ANS-Skill Performance Evaluation (SPE) certificate
Max cert period for asthma - ANS-2 years
Max cert period for balloon mitral valvotomy - ANS-1 year
Max cert period for being on anticoagulation for a CV condition - ANS-1 year
Max cert period for CPAP - ANS-1 year (1 month waiting period after starting CPAP or 3
months after surgery)
Max cert period for diabetic patients - ANS-Technically 2 years, but 1 year is
RECOMMENDED. What the hell.
Max cert period for post heart transplant - ANS-6 months

Max cert period for Syncope - ANS-1 year (needs neurologist clearance)
Max certification for a diabetic on insulin with a federal exemption - ANS-1 year
Max certification for acute seizure secondary to acute structural insult to CNS - ANS-1 year
