Key ideas in Ontario Paramedic Pharmacology
- ASA inhibits Thromboxane A2 to stop platelets from sticking together
- ASA is an antiplatelet agent, not a thrombolytic or 'clot buster'
- Chewing increases the surface area for rapid buccal and gastric absorption
- Chewing achieves therapeutic plasma levels significantly faster than swallowing
- Active internal bleeding is a hard stop for ASA administration
- ASA is an antiplatelet agent, not a thrombolytic
- Hypersensitivity to NSAIDs/ASA is an absolute contraindication
- Chronic conditions like past ulcers require a risk-benefit clinical judgment
- Chewing increases surface area for rapid absorption
- Other NSAIDs can competitively block ASA from the COX-1 binding site
- ASA must be prioritized in ACS because its platelet inhibition is irreversible
- Distinguishing between absolute and relative contraindications for ASA
- Prioritizing ASA administration when other NSAIDs are present
- Diabetics and elderly patients often present with dyspnea or 'silent' MI
- Unexplained diaphoresis and nausea can be the primary symptoms of ACS
- Atypical pain in the jaw, neck, or back warrants ASA in the right clinical context
You've tried the other tabs
Thirty open tabs. Four facts you actually kept.
You watched. You nodded. By Sunday it was gone.
One answer, then back to scrolling.
Eight weeks. You meant to finish. You didn't.
Tomo gives Ontario Paramedic Pharmacology the Duolingo treatment: levels, streaks, and quick quizzes that test what you just learned. That game loop is what the tabs above never had, so it's the one you actually finish.
Here's what playing it feels like
A real question from this course. Take your best guess.
If a patient has a fully formed clot in their coronary artery, what can ASA do for that specific blockage?
