CPR / AED / First Aid / BLS / ACLS / PALS

We offer CPR/AED/First Aid through the American Heart Association. It teaches students critical skills needed to respond to and manage a first aid, choking or sudden cardiac arrest emergency in the first few minutes until emergency medical services (EMS) arrives. Students learn skills such as how to treat bleeding, sprains, broken bones, shock and other first aid emergencies. This course also teaches adult CPR and AED use.

Who is this class for?
This course is intended for anyone with limited or no medical training that needs a completion card in CPR, AED and First Aid to meet job, regulatory or other requirements.

This Healthcare Provider (HCP) basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) course, accredited by the American Heart Association, provides the opportunity to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary for healthcare providers to perform CPR, to use an automated external defibrillator (AED) and bag mask, and relieve choking in the adult and pediatric victim.

After completing this course, participants will be able to perform each of the following skills:

1. Recall the basic steps of CPR for adults, children, and infants.
2. Show the basic steps of CPR for adults, children, and infants.
3. Give breaths with a bag mask.
4. Perform rescue breathing.
5. Explain the importance of early defibrillation.
6. List the steps common to the operation of all AEDs.
7. Demonstrate the proper placement of the AED electrode pads.
8. Show how to relieve choking in the responsive and unresponsive victim.

This ACLS provider course is designed for health care providers who either direct or participate in resuscitation of patients from cardiac. We are accredited by the American Heart Association, and this class is for the first-time certification or renewal post cert-expiration. This course you will enhance your skills in treating arrest and peri-arrest patients through active participation in a series of simulated cardiopulmonary cases.

• The American Heart Association developed the ACLS Course for currently active healthcare providers (such as medical, nursing, EMT, or allied health personnel) whose daily occupation or scholastic activities require proficiency in the knowledge and skills of ACLS.
• Must be an active healthcare provider whose training and scope of practice requires a knowledge base that includes the foundations of ACLS knowledge and skills.
• Must have a grasp of basic ECG interpretation.
• Must possess knowledge of pharmacological concepts and competent administration of drugs used during ACLS.

• Pick up or receive by mail the ACLS for Health Care Providers textbook and read prior to class.
• Complete the online ACLS pretest prior to attending class. For non-Baptist Health employees, the online pretest website location is available on the first page of textbook.

9. Use the assess-categorize-decide-act approach to assessment and management of a seriously ill child.
10. Recognize and manage a child in respiratory distress or failure and/or compensated or hypotensive shock.
11. Recognize and manage a child with life-threatening bradyarrhythmia, tachyarrhythmia or arrest rhythm.
12. Demonstrate effective communication as a member or leader of a resuscitation team and recognize the impact of team dynamics on overall team performance.
