-
Airway Management: Training includes advanced techniques to keep airways open, such as using breathing tubes, which is crucial for maintaining oxygen flow.
-
Medication Administration: The course teaches how to correctly use various heart medications, including the right doses and methods of administration.
-
Cardiac Rhythms and Defibrillation: Learners get skilled in identifying and managing complex heart rhythms and using defibrillators to restore normal heartbeats.

Simulation-Based Learning: Realistic practice scenarios help participants apply their skills in a controlled environment.
-
Algorithms: The course uses structured, evidence-based guidelines to manage specific heart emergencies.
