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 Pediatric CPR Training: Basic anatomy and physiology concepts are presented that later permit the trainee to understand the clinical concepts and skills associated with CPR. 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 on children and infants.
- 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.
- Advanced Pediatric CPR Assessment Exercise: Video simulation of sudden cardiac arrest that requires the student to sequence required actions in providing CPR on a child and infant. A preparatory practice testing sequence is provided.
- Manufacturer Specific Basic AED Training: Basic multimedia AED training, utilizing interactive animations created specifically for the AED selected. Students review assessment, CPR skills, and are instructed to operate an AED in a sudden cardiac arrest. The Virtual AED allows the students to perform each physical task through interactive simulations. The Virtual AED responds to the student's intervention exactly as the actual AED would respond both visually and with each AED's unique audio responses. Personal protection issues are addressed.
- Manufacturer Specific Intermediate AED Training: Intermediate training that requires students to complete 3 typical cardiac arrest scenarios. Students are prompted to select the correct action in response to the described clinical condition of the patient, and the AED's audio and visual prompts. AED interactive activities are customized to the student's AED. Students receive feedback for each of their selections. At the conclusion, students have demonstrated their ability to appropriately respond to common cardiac arrest scenarios.
- Manufacturer Specific Advanced AED Training: Advanced video simulation training for a sudden cardiac arrest requiring CPR and an AED that requires the student to properly assess, provide CPR skills, and operate an AED in the proper sequence. Ensures the student can sequence actions correctly without prompts. 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.
- Emergency University’s Concussion and Traumatic Head Injury Program: This program is intended for all coaches, trainers, teachers, parents and those who support athletes and students. Topics include: common causes of concussions and other traumatic head injuries, signs and symptoms of traumatic brain injured persons, important actions you must take if you witness these signs and symptoms, what to do when recovering from a concussion, conducting a Head Injury Assessment. At the conclusion of the program, Emergency University provides a Head Injury Assessment Tool, that can be printed for your personal use based on protocols developed and approved by national and international sports organizations.
