WHY TAKE YOUR PALS/NRP/ACLS WITH NWAS?
NWAS has been presenting ACLS courses for 22 years. Our courses meet and exceed all the NEW AHA guidelines. In addition, we incorporate additional modules on airway management and allergic reactions. We are proud to announce our 2008 programs will incorporate the use of advanced patient simulators for more realistic practice. Past participants have said, "NWAS has the best instructors; they are so helpful." Others have said, "I have taken other ACLS courses where I was made to feel like an idiot. At NWAS, I was treated like a fellow professional and I found learning to be less stressful." "I learned more clinically useful information than in any other ACLS course I've ever taken."

TARGET
AUDIENCE:
This course is designed for Physicians, Certified Registered
Nurse Anesthetists, Registered Nurses, Physician Assistants and other medical
care providers who need to obtain or update resuscitation skills and documentation.
PROGRAM PURPOSE:
Due to the inherent knowledge, skills, practice locations, and
populations of patients served by practitioners of anesthesiology and/or emergency
and critical care medicine, the physicians, nurses, and other such advanced
care providers are summoned to serve the dying patient, particularly those whose
death is sudden and unexpected. This program is designed to update these practitioners
with the latest consensus on this body of scientific information in the form
of formal guidelines provided by national agencies, recognized to possess the
resources to develop guidelines and identify mandatory skills, which are required
to provide quality resuscitative care for patients of all ages in all clinical
and non-clinical locations.
OBJECTIVES:
At the conclusion of this program, the participant will be able to:
Explain the latest guidelines for resuscitation, including
but not limited to basic scientific studies, pharmacology, dysrhythmia identification,
pertinent equipment and recommended therapeutic intervention, featuring those
most recently added or altered, through the citation of the specific scientific
background for each and the description of how this newer information impacts
the performance of resuscitative procedures.
Successfully meet the current requirements of the American Heart Association and, as appropriate, other pertinent agencies jointly sponsoring guidelines with this association, in documenting proficiency in providing resuscitative care
Apply this information in the clinical setting most commonly encountered in the day-to-day clinical practice of the participant.
