Course Content:
- Basic Anatomy & Physiology of the Cardiovascular System: Basic anatomy and physiology concepts that later permit the trainee to understand the clinical concepts and skills associated with CPR. Colorful animations enhance comprehension.
- Basic Anatomy & Physiology Evaluation Exercise: Multiple choice and interactive animations reinforce important concepts.
- Basic Adult CPR Training: Multi-media training sequences including realistic photographs, voice, text, and animations address assessment, calling for help, proper positioning of the airway, rescue breathing using face shields, techniques for providing quality chest compressions, strategies for 1 and 2 person CPR, and personal protection while providing CPR.
- Basic Obstructed Airway: Progressive techniques for relieving an obstructed airway caused by a foreign body taught through realistic photographs, voice, text, and animations for adults and children.
- Intermediate CPR Training Evaluation Exercise: Interactive exercises to reinforce comprehension of main concepts and strategies in CPR. Preparation for final testing.
- Advanced Adult CPR Assessment Exercise: Video simulation of sudden cardiac arrest that requires the student to sequence required actions in providing CPR. A preparatory practice testing sequence is provided.
- Basic First Aid Training: Interactive, audio/visual training program combining photographs, voice over, text, and animations designed to instruct the trainee in basic first aid. Each section begins with the underlying Anatomy and Physiology and progresses to assessment and treatment. Includes Airway and Breathing Emergencies, Cardiovascular Emergencies, Environmental Emergencies, Bleeding, Shock, Major and Minor Trauma, Burns, OSHA, NGFATOS Compliant. Includes interactive demonstrations.
- Advanced First Aid Practice/Testing: Permits student to properly assess and demonstrate their understanding of the underlying principles and treatment through animated interactive activities. Choosing the proper supply from the First Aid Kit and intervention from the “Backpack of First Aid Knowledge”, it is the first of its kind to allow the students to choose the intervention and watch it take place on the screen.
