Advanced Life Support (ALS) is a collection of techniques and skills that extend beyond fundamental life support to assist with circulation, breathing, and ventilation. Once a cardiac arrest has been confirmed based on the surveillance of the heart’s electrical activity on a cardiac monitor, protocols for Advanced Life Support are initiated. Medications and defibrillation are administered based on the form of cardiac arrhythmia. Oxygen is administered and endotracheal intubation may be attempted to secure the airway. Regularly, the effect of the medication on the heart rhythm and the presence of cardiac output are measured. The medications that may be administered during Advanced Life Support Fluids may also be used to increase the patient’s blood volume. Members of the team administering Advanced Life Support to treat cardiac arrest, one must understand its causes.
If you are in the healthcare industry, then BLS certification is a requirement. The basic life support course educates students on how to perform high quality CPR on adults, children, and infants. As well as the critical early use of an AED, effective ventilations using a barrier device, the significance of teams in multi-rescuer resuscitation and performance as an effective team member during multi-rescuer CPR, and relief of foreign-body airway obstruction for adults and infants.
In this course, you will learn how to safely approach and evaluate whether a person needs CPR. You will learn how to effectively use PPE (personal protective equipment). With successful completion of this course, you will know how to give CPR to adults, children, and infants. You also know how to deal with choking and how to recognize if a person is suffering a heart arrest or a heart attack.
In this course you will learn everything you need to know about blood and bodily fluids, and how to handle situations involving exposure to them. You will learn how pathogens within blood or other fluids are transmitted and what to do to prevent that from happening.
In this course you will learn how to safely approach, assess a person’s emergency needs, and administer basic CPR. You will also learn when and how to properly use an automated external defibrillator (AED) while protecting yourself and others.
In this course you will learn how to give basic first aid to people who have suffered a broad range of injuries. You will also know how to handle someone who has fainted, how to assess a person’s level of medical emergency, such as whether there is risk for shock, when and how to call for help, and how to prevent accidents.
Prior to the arrival of emergency medical services, the Emergency Medical Response training program provides a detailed and comprehensive strategy for managing out-of-hospital medical emergencies. The program is intended to provide non-EMS responders with greater depth and exposure to standard first aid training topics in order to provide more comprehensive and advanced instruction. It satisfies workplace first aid training requirements and the desire to learn more than fundamental first aid without the burden of EMS provider training and certification. Emergency Medical Response provides training comparable to that of Emergency Medical Responder, the foundational training for EMS providers; however, the program is not designed to train EMS providers or prepare students for EMS provider assessment and certification. This course is designed for non-EMS and non-healthcare professionals who desire certification in Emergency Medical Response, including Law enforcement officials, correctional officers, security staff, event and crowd control staff, lifeguards, park rangers, members of the Workplace Emergency Response Team (ERT), members of the Disaster Team, members of the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), athletic trainers, and outdoor guides.
