THE PARAMEDIC COACH® | MNEMONICS CHEAT SHEET 2
INTRODUCTION
Mnemonics are used in EMS to help you recall critical information fast. These
mnemonics not only will help you out in the field but also when breaking down
test questions in school & NREMT.
This cheat sheet is broken down into two sections. First, is all the “classic” EMS
mnemonics that you will see taught in virtually every EMT/Paramedic class.
Secondly, I list out all my favorite mnemonics that I teach students with today
to become better clinically and on exam day.
P.S. - I want to say a big thank you to John Bielinski Jr. PA-C of CME4LIFE, LLC
who first taught me many of my favorite medical mnemonics. All of these
mnemonics have helped me out tremendously in my practice and I know it will
help your patients. Credits to CME4LIFE, LLC for the mnemonics: PAPPA,
HORID, SNOT, LEAP-PB, CVS, SADCHF and RROWL.
Be great,
Evan, The Paramedic Coach®
