Caterpillar c9 service manual. Not sure how much the exam has evolved since I took it but I used Kettering to brush up on the subject. The exam is very difficult for a new grad but is not a challenging one for an experienced therapist.
It is a great validation of how one practices in the critical care arena. Off the top of my head, Know your ARDSnet protocol and Berlin definition of ARDS like the back of your hand, various sedation and RSI medications PLUS their effects and reversal agents, pulmonary radiology like CT scans and CXRs, hemodynamics and their various derangements plus whatever medication and intervention that may improve or derail it, sepsis and VAP bundles, pulmonary vasodilators and indications/effects/contraindications, weaning parameters, APRV/Bilevel, nitric oxide, special procedures like art line placement/troubleshooting, bronchoscopies, esophageal manometry. Not being demeaning or anything like that, but this exam will be too difficult for a neb jockey or a knob turner. I agree with a lot of what you've said here.
Ssc algebra paper. I just want to reiterate that experience really helps for this test. It's different than the RRT where you have the 'real hospital' and the 'NBRC hospital.' They've tried to design it so that in addition to what you've studied, you can also rely on your actual critical care experience to get through the test. Take the online practice test. Identify weak spots. Take the workbook practice test.
Further identify weak spots. That's my strategy when going through stuff like this and it hasn't let me down yet. I'd recommend taking the Kettering class and knowing everything inside the study materials they give you. The test material seems pretty variable as far as what to expect, so you'll need to know the vast majority of it.
Znkr iaido manual. Someone I know had paid extra for an additional practice test (also through Kettering, I'm having to assume) and the questions on it were very similar to what I saw on the test. Also, caffeine, mint gum, take breaks occasionally and splash your face with cold water. It's a rough one.

This book provides a quick review of helpful concepts to help respiratory therapists get a good idea of what the exam tests you on and how to adjust your thinking to answer questions the way the exam wants you to.This can often times be an issue because respiratory therapists often times bring their specific hospital experience when taking exams that can sometimes not apply well to test taking. This guide is mean to supplement other study material and is meant as a quick, inexpensive guide and refresher to complement other study material.
The information at this link gives a fairly good overview of the test, though I didn't find quite so high a percentage of ' respiratory' on the version I took. Scoring is scaled, and the difficulty of the questions changes the number you have to get correct to pass. The 'scaled score' must be 75 or greater.on my test, that meant 99/150 correct. Remember, there are 20 unscored questions. You have 4 hrs in which to complete the exam - it sounds like a long time, and it FEELS like a long time.
Don't plan on buzzing out after 2.5 hrs. I took my time, and finished at 3.5 hrs. I took the exam and passed last year. Took about 2 hours and 38 minutes.
Typical of the free exam and purchase exam from the nbrc. It seemed to mirror my syllabus for adult critical care. I did not find anything that helped except for my syllabus experience from teaching, my 30 years working in adult critical care, and studying the test questions from the nbrc to see what specifically is on the test. Test reflected well our practise in the adult icu where i work. I always fell back to what we would do in that scenario. OK, so apparently my previous comment was not helpful. Let me try again.Go to NBRC website (nbrc.org)and at the top of the page, where the 'Examinations' tab is, click and open the ACCS exam page.
On the right side of the page, there is a link for a free sample test as well as a matrix from the NBRC as to what material is on the test. Also, you will see how many questions per test are related to that specific subject (inhaled vasodilators, airway management, ethics, ventilator management, etc.).
I don't know what else to say to be 'helpful'. It's comprehensive and covers many areas of critical care that RT's may face and deal with on a daily basis (inhaled nitric, inhaled prostocyclins, ACLS, pharmacology, ventilator managment and adjunct modes, ARDS evidence based care, metabolic cart and nutrition in an ICU patient, radiographic interpretation, values and treatment.). And as I said before, the SAE test they offer for $40.00 which explains each question and that specific answer is well worth it! That's all I got! Lungfixer in Chicago, Illinois said: Does anyone else here feel this is just ANOTHER way for the NBRC to extort money from the profession?
I mean, the whole point of getting an NPS was because the RRT exam is heavily focused on ADULT critical care, and therefore this additional credential (at $250, or whatever it cost me at the time) shows a specialty in Neonatal and Pediatric respiratory practice. It seems redundant to me to to require an ACCS when that's basically what RT school is supposed to train you for.unless they've changed the curriculum to 'Nebs, CPT and Suctioning' since I was in school.

So FU.K the NBRC and their ACCS cash cow.I cant wait to retire!! Lungfixer.no one asked you or forced you to take this exam, have they? Have you researched the and reasons as to why the NBRC came up with this exam? It's called demand.the profession, the, the practitioners themselves asked for this material in an exam roughly 20 years ago. And hence, we now have it.
