Learning outcomes
|
Students will familiarize themselves with the guidelines for administering Basic Life Support (BLS) and acquire practical proficiency in these procedures. They will become acquainted with the care of unconscious patients and gain knowledge of the principles of initial treatment for injuries involving severe hemorrhage. Furthermore, students will develop competence in diagnosing and performing primary care for fractures, chest and abdominal injuries, as well as initial treatment for conditions resulting from physical and chemical exposures.
The student is able to: 1. Contact emergency medical services and effectively communicate with the operator. 2. Apply guidelines and provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) for adults (BLS) and children (PBLS). 3. Implement the algorithm for assessing consciousness, place the affected individual in the recovery position, and clear the airway. 4. Ensure thermal comfort for the affected individual and demonstrate both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in basic transport techniques, including the Rautek maneuver and transportation involving two or more rescuers. 5. Demonstrate theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the choking algorithm. 6. Understand the procedure and provide first aid to individuals with suspected spinal injuries. 7. Position affected individuals appropriately based on specific injury types and conditions (head, chest, abdomen, cardiac issues, bleeding). 8. Differentiate various types of bleeding and implement the algorithm for controlling massive hemorrhage, including direct wound compression, pressure dressing, and principles of tourniquet application. 9. Identify common acute internal conditions and provide appropriate first aid, including for Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI), Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA), epilepsy, asthma attack/dyspnea, hypoglycemia, intoxication, hyperventilation, and anaphylaxis.
