Advanced Airway Management
|
Our Price: $14.00
|
|
|
Oxygen is essential to our bodies. Inadequate perfusion can have irreversible effects, such as organ failure, loss of brain function, and death. This course will describe the normal structures and functions of the respiratory system and present appropriate techniques for assessing and managing the patient experiencing a respiratory emergency.

EMS: 12-Lead ECG and Fibrinolytic Screening for AMI
|
|
Our Price: $14.00
|
|
|
This course provides a review of acute coronary syndromes, including presentation, ECG findings, the use of 12-lead ECGs in the prehospital setting, and screening patients for eligibility for potential fibrinolytic therapy. This course is not intended to make the user an expert in 12-lead ECG interpretation. Information is provided regarding hospital care options for acute MI patients, including fibrinolytic therapy and angioplasty.

EMS: Abdominal and Genital Trauma
|
|
Our Price: $14.00
|
|
|
Abdominal and pelvic injuries in the prehospital environment pose a significant problem for the emergency care professional. The largest cavity in the body, the abdominal cavity can hold a considerable amount of blood (up to 1.5 liters) before it appears distended. Therefore, the potential for life-threatening hemorrhage from trauma to the abdominal organs exists, even with few overt signs of damage. Traumatic injuries to the abdominal organs require surgical intervention. It is important for the EMS professional to understand the anatomy and physiology of the abdominal organs, so that immediate threats to life from injuries will be recognized. This course increases understanding of these injuries and their complications, to better prepare the EMS professional to handle the victim's needs and reduce mortality.

EMS: Advanced Assessment and Management of the Shock Patient
|
|
Our Price: $14.00
|
|
|
Some degree of shock can accompany any medical emergency. This course will explain the components and functions of blood and the consequential capillary-cellular relationship for a patient in shock, describe the pathophysiology in the developmental stages of shock, and formulate a plan for assessment and management of a patient in shock.

EMS - Advanced Cardiac Assessment
|
|
Our Price: $14.00
|
|
|
Approximately one-third of all EMS calls are cardiac-related. Assessment of the cardiac patient is similar to that of other medical patients, except for added emphasis placed on certain aspects of the assessment procedure. This course will review cardiac anatomy and physiology, detail the components of an advanced cardiac assessment.

EMS: Advanced Cardiac Pharmacology
|
|
Our Price: $14.00
|
|
|
New and effective cardiac drugs are being introduced on a regular basis. Because cardiovascular drugs are routinely administered by the paramedic in the prehospital setting, it is important to remain informed of the most current pharmacological agents available for a positive patient outcome through local medical control and continuing education.This course addresses the relationship between the autonomic nervous system and common classifications of drugs used to treat cardiac arrhythmias. It covers the actions of common antiarrhythmic drugs, as well as other cardiac medications that are commonly used in the prehospital setting.

EMS: Advanced Management of Environmental Emergencies
|
|
Our Price: $14.00
|
|
|
Thermoregulation is a requirement for sustaining life. When internal or external forces unbalance this process, quick action must be taken to improve the patient's situation.This course covers the signs and symptoms of hyperthermia, hypothermia, drowning, and near-drowning, as well as of the underlying processes, to help the EMS professional have a greater understanding of how to successfully manage a patient experiencing an environmental emergency in the prehospital setting.

EMS: Airway Compromise In Trauma Patients: Pediatric and Adult Considerations
|
|
Our Price: $14.00
|
|
|
Appropriate airway management in the trauma patient can be one of the most challenging aspects of prehospital medicine. Research has indicated that one of the most common causes of trauma-related deaths is due to unrecognized airway compromise. Airway compromise in trauma patients can result from primary (direct) injuries to the airway itself and from secondary (indirect) injuries to surrounding tissues. The focus of this course is on traumatic injuries to the upper airway and their effect on airway management techniques.
