The AHA’s PALS Course has been updated to reflect new science in the 2015 AHA Guidelines Update for CPR and ECC. This classroom, Instructor-led course uses a series of videos and simulated pediatric emergencies to reinforce the important concepts of a systematic approach to pediatric assessment, basic life support, PALS treatment algorithms, effective resuscitation, and team dynamics. The goal of the PALS Course is to improve the quality of care provided to seriously ill or injured children, resulting in improved outcomes.

Upon completion of this program students will have learned:

  • High-quality Child CPR AED and Infant CPR
  • Recognition of patients who do and do not require immediate intervention
  • Recognition of cardiopulmonary arrest early and application CPR within 10 secondsApply team dynamics
  • Differentiation between respiratory distress and failure
  • Early interventions for respiratory distress and failure
  • Differentiation between compensated and decompensated (hypotensive) shock
  • Early interventions for the treatment of shock
  • Differentiation between unstable and stable patients with arrhythmias
  • Clinical characteristics of instability in patients with arrhythmias
  • Post–cardiac arrest management

SSAAFER

SSAAFER is a forward-thinking defensive tactics program originally designed for Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) and Paramedics.  However, because SSAAFER is a very flexible program, it can easily be adapted to train all types of Emergency Medical Service (EMS) providers including doctors, nurses, medical assistants, fire fighters, etc.  In fact, SSAAFER is so adaptable, it can be used successfully by any professional tasked with providing medical care or security services.

 

SSAAFER was developed by taking many of the same principles and skills used for years by law enforcement officers and adapting them to the world of EMS.  This program contains a basic awareness and self-defense curriculum that will teach participants important and potentially life–saving skills to protect them from aggressive or assaultive individuals.  SAAFER also goes beyond teaching simple self-defense tactics and hands-on techniques.  The foundation of this training is grounded by the de-escalation and diffusion strategies that are infused throughout the entire training program. These strategies provide important, field-tested principles designed to give EMS personnel another layer of protection against aggressive behaviors or attacks.

 

Course description:

 

All attendees will be provided with classroom instruction on:

 

  • Proper Mental Preparation for EMS personnel
  • Risk assessment and the de-escalation process.
  • How to successfully integrate with law enforcement response
  • Relevant research studies that involve the psychological and physiological effects on individuals before, during, and after critical incidents and violent confrontations. 

 

The practical portion of this instruction will include:

  • Best practices for initial interactions
  • Basic contact and control techniques
  • Disengagement/ Escape Methods
  • Attention Diversion Techniques
  • Defending for Escape
