Click Study Flashcards above to open the flashcard hub — dozens of FP-C cards you can flip, match, type, or quiz yourself on. Every card is drawn from the ten IBSC content domains and written to the air medical critical-care transport level, so you study exactly what the FP-C certification exam tests.[1] Pair them with our free practice questions and study guide.

FP-C Flashcard Study Modes

Four modes run off the same 212 cards. Flip mode is for first-pass study, one card at a time. Match is a timed game that pairs terms with their definitions. Type shows the definition and asks you to spell the term back, so something like Sugammadex has to come out of memory. Quiz turns the same cards into multiple-choice questions.

Why Flashcards Work for the FP-C

Airway, Anesthesia, and Analgesics is the largest section at 44 cards, covering induction and sedation agents, ventilator mechanics, and difficult-airway tactics. Expect drug cards such as Propofol, Etomidate, and Fentanyl alongside applied cards like I:E ratio, the BURP maneuver, and the DOPE mnemonic for sudden deterioration on the vent.

Medical Emergencies follows with 34 cards weighted toward vasoactive support and endocrine crises. You work through Norepinephrine, Phenylephrine, and Dobutamine, then move to interpretation and pathology fronts such as Anion gap, Thyroid storm, and Myxedema coma.

Flight Physiology carries 25 cards built on the gas laws, including Boyle’s law, Dalton’s law, and Henry’s law, plus altitude stressors like Barodontalgia and Flicker vertigo. Cardiac adds 24 cards on ECG pattern recognition and mechanical support, with fronts such as Sgarbossa criteria, Wellens’ syndrome, and Impella.

Safety and Transport holds 19 cards on crew decision making and aircraft limits, from the Sterile cockpit rule and the IMSAFE checklist to Density altitude and Helicopter shopping. Maternal Fetal and Neonatal has 16 cards on obstetric emergencies such as HELLP syndrome, Cord prolapse, and Shoulder dystocia. Professional Considerations, also 16 cards, covers regulation and ethics through EMTALA, Just Culture, and GAMUT metrics.

Neurological brings 15 cards on injury patterns and scoring, including Cushing’s triad, the FOUR score, and Epidural hematoma. Pediatric covers 13 cards built around Pediatric airway differences, Broselow tape, and Croup vs epiglottitis. Trauma/Burn is the smallest set at 6 cards, anchored by the Parkland formula, the Lethal triad of trauma, and Damage-control resuscitation.

That matters on the FP-C, where facts like Boyle’s law, the 7 P’s of RSI, the lethal triad, the Parkland formula, and the succinylcholine contraindications must be instantly available. Used alongside our practice questions and study guide, flashcards turn review time into measurable progress.

FP-C Flashcards by Topic

The cards span the ten IBSC content domains. Weight your study toward the heaviest ones — Airway (15%), Cardiac and Medical Emergencies (13% each), and Trauma/Burn (12%) — but the flight-specific Flight Physiology and Safety domains are what make the FP-C unique:[1]

How to Get the Most Out of These Flashcards

  • Start with airway. Airway, Anesthesia, and Analgesics is 44 cards, the deck’s biggest block, and its drug and ventilator content feeds nearly every other section, so clear it first.
  • Type the exact terms. Drill fronts like Sugammadex and the Parkland formula in Type mode, since dosing and formula cards punish vague recall far more than recognition-based review does.
  • Match the gas laws. Flight Physiology fronts such as Charles’s law and Gay-Lussac’s law blur together fast, and the timed pairing in Match forces you to separate them under pressure.
  • Move to the practice test. Once Type mode returns clean recall across the larger domains, switch to the practice test for scenario-length questions and use the study guide on whatever breaks.
  • Keep a steady cadence. With 212 cards, take one domain per session and re-Flip the previous session’s cards first; small sets like Trauma/Burn at 6 cards fit as add-ons.
