The BLS Healthcare Provider Course is designed to provide a wide variety of healthcare professionals the ability to recognize several life-threatening emergencies, provide CPR, use an AED, and relieve choking in a safe, timely and effective manner. The course is in intended for certified or noncertified, licensed or non-licensed healthcare professionals.
11: Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS)
(16 hrs )
American Heart Association (AHA)
The course goal is to aid the pediatric healthcare provider in developing the knowledge and skills necessary to efficiently and effectively manage critically ill infants and children, resulting in improved outcomes. Skills taught include recognition and treatment of infants and children at risk for cardiopulmonary arrest; the systematic approach to pediatric assessment; effective respiratory management; defibrillation and synchronized cardioversion; intraosseous access and fluid bolus administration; and effective resuscitation team dynamics.
12: Pediatric Emergency Assessment, Recognition, and Stabilization (PEARS)
(9 hrs)
American Heart Association (AHA)
PEARS provider course is designed to help the pediatric health care providers develop the knowledge and skills for emergency assessment and treatment of seriously ill infants and children.
In this course the students will learn how to,
Recognize respiratory distress and failure, shock, and cardiac arrest
Provide appropriate lifesaving actions within the initial minutes of response until the child is transferred to an advanced life support provider.
14 : Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support Provider(ACLS)
(16 hrs)
American Heart Association (AHA)
The course is designed for healthcare providers who either direct or participate in the resuscitation of a patient, whether in or out of hospital. The course will enhance the provider’s skills in the treatment of the adult victim of a cardiac arrest or other cardiopulmonary emergencies.
ACLS emphasizes the importance of basic life support CPR to patient survival; the integration of effective basic life support with advanced cardiovascular life support interventions; and the importance of effective team interaction and communication during resuscitation.
ACLS is based on simulated clinical scenarios that encourage active, hands-on participation through learning stations where students will practice essential shills individually, as part of a team, and as team leader. Realistic simulations reinforce the following key concepts: proficiency in basic life support care; recognizing and initiating early management of pre-arrest conditions ; managing cardiac arrest; identifying and treating ischemic chest pain and acute coronary syndromes; recognizing others life-threatening clinical situations (such as stroke) and providing initial care; ACLS algorithms; and effective resuscitation team dynamics.
13: Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP)
(10) hrs
American Association of Pediatrics & American Heart Association
This course has been designed to teach an evidence-based approach to resuscitation of the newborn. The causes, prevention, and management of mild to severe neonatal asphyxia are carefully explained so that health professionals may develop optimal knowledge and skill in resuscitation.
The Neonatal Resuscitation Program™ is an educational program that introduces the concepts and basic skills of neonatal resuscitation. Completion of the program does not imply that an individual has the competence to perform neonatal resuscitation. Each hospital is responsible for determining the level of competence and qualifications required for someone to assume clinical responsibility for neonatal resuscitation
