COURSE DESCRIPTION:

> Simulated clinical scenarios
> Demonstrations by instructors or videos
> Discussion and role playing
> Practice in effective resuscitation team behaviors

In these learning stations you will practice essentials skills both individually and as part of a team. This course emphasizes effective team skills as a vital part of the resuscitative effort. You will receive training in effective team behaviors and have the opportunity to practice as a team member and a team leader.

At the end of the course you will participate in a Megacode Testing station to validate your achievement in the course objectives. A simulated cardiac arrest scenario will test the following:
> Knowledge of core case materials and skills
> Knowledge of algorithms
> Understanding of arrhythmia interpretation
> Use of appropriate basic ACLS drug therapy
> Performance as an effective team leader

OBJECTIVES:
At the conclusion of this program, the participant will be able to:
> Recognize and initiate early management of peri-arrest conditions that may result in cardiac arrest or complicate resuscitation outcome.
> Demonstrate proficiency in providing BLS care; include prioritizing chest compressions and integrating AED use.
> Manage cardiac arrest until return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), termination, of resuscitation, or transfer of care.
> Demonstrate effective communication as a member or leader of a resuscitation team and recognize the impact of team dynamics on overall team performance.
