HLTAID015 Provide advanced resuscitation and oxygen therapy (previously HLTAID007)

This course describes the skills and knowledge required to use specialised equipment in the provision of resuscitation in line with the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines.
Our nurse and paramedic trainers are skilled in advanced resuscitation and will train participants to care and manage a person in cardiac arrest and provide quality instructional skills on advanced life support (correct ratio of rescue breathing to chest compressions). Each participant will have their own manikin to ventilate and compress the chest to perfect their technique

8 hours face-to-face training and assessment and online e-learning

Your trainer will be a nurse or a paramedic - there can be no better trainer than one who has "lived" the experience. As a trusted health professional, they will teach the "why" of first aid and are committed to you leaving your course with confidence and competence.
Some topics covered in the advanced resuscitation course are:

• Assessing the need for oxygen administration
  
• Understanding resuscitation equipment and delivery devices
  
• Safety precautions, cleaning and disinfection of equipment
  
• Equipment familiarisation - assembly and disassembly
  
• Correct method of administration of oxygen
  
• Use of airway management and suctioning devices
  
• Insertion of an oropharyngeal airway

People over the age of 14 years are eligible to attend. Students attending the course are required to demonstrate their physical ability to perform at least 2 minutes of uninterrupted CPR on an adult manikin placed on the floor. This is a requirement of the unit and not of Premium Health. If you are unsure of your ability to demonstrate this requirement please contact us on 1300 721 292.
