Medical - Pre-Hospital Care
Management of medical emergencies in the General Practice:
Good emergency medicine is 10% clinical skill and 90% good logistics!
Successful management of an unexpected medical emergency in your practice demands a quick and well co-ordinated response by the practitioner and the whole support team. To obtain the best outcome requires a range of skills, knowledge, equipment and a system that everyone understands. Cynergex Group's professional training courses not only provide clinical skills and knowledge but provide the systems and processes needed for the practice team to provide a high level of care to the stricken patient.
Cynergex courses outline the science underpinning current resuscitation practices before introducing the student to the risk assessment approach which underpins the treatment algorithms that have been developed to manage the emergency. Based upon these algorithms Cynergex has identified simple and easy to use equipment to enable the practitioner and the team to manage airway, breathing and circulation.
Techniques taught include:
team CPR, defibrillation, the use of laryngeal mask airways, monitoring of SpO2 and CO2, use of first line medications, and packaging of the trauma victim.
This training delivers Advanced Life Support capability via a simple algorithm using equipment and techniques that are easily learnt and remembered. It enables medical professionals who need to manage serious medical emergencies on rare occasions to do so at the highest possible level.
