The BLS for Healthcare Provider Certification is intended for healthcare providers such as EMS personnel, physician assistants, doctors, dentists, nurses, and respiratory therapists who must have a credential (card) documenting successful completion of a BLS class. The BLS for Healthcare Providers Class covers core material such as adult and pediatric CPR (including two-rescuer scenarios and use of the bag mask), foreign-body airway obstruction, and automated external defibrillation. The BLS for Healthcare Providers Class must complete a skills pass off test. At the conclusion of this class, the learner will be able to demonstrate the accurate steps of CPR, demonstrate the proper use of an AED, and demonstrate methods used to relieve choking.
1. adult and pediatric CPR
2. two-rescuer scenarios and use of the bag mask
3. foreign-body airway obstruction
4. automated external defibrillation
Professional licensing core and pro hours for Contractors, approved by the State of Utah DOPL
Untrained Lay Rescuer
If a bystander is not trained in CPR, then the bystander should provide Hands-Only (chest compression only) CPR, with an emphasis on “push hard and fast,” or follow the directions of the emergency medical dispatcher. The rescuer should continue Hands-Only CPR until an AED arrives and is ready for use or healthcare providers take over care of the victim (Class IIa, LOE B).
Lay rescuers should assume cardiac arrest based on assessing unresponsiveness and absence of normal breathing (ie, the victim is not breathing or only gasping)
“Look, Listen, and Feel” was removed from the BLS algorithm Lay rescuers should not interrupt chest compressions to palpate pulses or check for ROSC (Class IIa, LOE C).
Trauma Response Outline
Introduction:
90% of Trauma response competency. Is knowing were your trauma kit is, and what is inside it.
10% of first responder competency is Provide comfort, stop blood Loss, and immobilize.
100% equals common sense
Define Trauma response As common sense
1. Provide Comfort
2. Stop Blood Loss
3. Immobilize pressure bandages
Bullet points for interaction (help to slice through the chaos and anxiousness’ of trauma)
· Don’t judge how people deal with pain
· Don’t be overwhelmed by blood loss
· Providing comfort will be the most important action you take at any emergency
Describe the Trauma Kit (use the handout)
Challenge individuals to read the booklet
Challenge individuals to teach first aid to someone they love
Challenge individuals to make two kits one for themselves and one for someone they love
Define how to improve learning
· See and hear information
· Review information within the week.
· Teach with fondness
