Basic Life Support

Basic Life Support

Basic Life Support (BLS) refers to a set of emergency medical procedures designed to sustain or revive a person who is experiencing cardiac arrest, respiratory arrest, or other life-threatening emergencies. BLS techniques are typically administered by trained healthcare providers, first responders, or individuals with basic medical knowledge. The primary goal of BLS is to maintain oxygenation and circulation in the body until more advanced medical interventions can be initiated. BLS techniques include cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), which involves chest compressions and artificial ventilation, as well as the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to restore the heart's normal rhythm. The participants can enter the course and progress to the session after attending a pre-test (located prior to the sessions, there is no benchmark for the pre-test). After completing the video modules participants can access the post test. Those who are scoring above 50% in post test are eligible for downloading the certificate.

Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS)

Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS)

Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) refers to a specialized set of resuscitation guidelines and techniques aimed at providing emergency care for critically ill or injured infants and children. PALS is designed to address the unique physiological and anatomical differences between pediatric patients and adults, ensuring appropriate interventions and management during life-threatening situations. PALS is typically provided by healthcare professionals who have received specialized training in pediatric resuscitation, such as pediatricians, emergency physicians, nurses, and paramedics. These individuals undergo comprehensive courses and certification programs that teach them the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively respond to pediatric emergencies. The participants can enter the course and progress to the session after attending a pre-test (located prior to the sessions, there is no benchmark for the pre-test). After completing the video modules participants can access the post test. Those who are scoring above 50% in post test are eligible for downloading the certificate.

Basic newborn resuscitation program

Basic newborn resuscitation program

The care of newborns is a prime importance is maintaining the health of a country. This course sheds light on the basic newborn resuscitation program and its care aspects. BNRP is an emergency procedure focussed on supporting approximately 10% of new born children who do not readily begin breathing, putting them at risk of irreversible organ injury and death. The role of health workers in BNRP is mentioned in detail. This course deals with the 10 main topics with all important for health workers who conduct/assist delivery. The participants can enter the course and progress to the session after attending a pre-test (located prior to the sessions, there is no benchmark for the pre-test). After completing the video modules participants can access the post test. Those who are scoring above 50% in post test are eligible for downloading the certificate.

Basic interpretations of ECG

Basic interpretations of ECG

An Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a medical test that records the electrical activity of the heart over a period of time. It provides important information about the heart's rhythm and electrical conduction system. Interpreting an electrocardiogram involves analyzing the electrical activity of the heart to assess its rhythm and identify any potential abnormalities. Here's a basic overview of how to interpret an ECG. The participants can enter the course and progress to the session after attending a pre-test (located prior to the sessions, there is no benchmark for the pre-test). After completing the video modules participants can access the post test. Those who are scoring above 50% in post test are eligible for downloading the certificate.

Advanced Cardiac Life Support

Advanced Cardiac Life Support

The course ACLS - Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support, It is a set of guidelines and protocols developed by the American Heart Association (AHA) for the treatment of cardiac arrest and other life-threatening cardiovascular emergencies. ACLS provides a structured approach to resuscitation, incorporating various interventions and algorithms to optimize the chances of restoring circulation and saving lives. It's important to note that ACLS training are typically required for healthcare providers involved in the management of cardiac arrest and critical cardiovascular emergencies

Acute coronary syndrome

Acute coronary syndrome

Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) is a term used to describe a range of conditions associated with sudden, reduced blood flow to the heart. It is a medical emergency and requires prompt attention. The three main types of ACS are unstable angina, non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The participants can enter to the course and progress to the session after attending a Pre test (Located prior to the sessions, there is no benchmark for the pre test). After completing the video modules participants can access the post test. Those who are scoring above 50% in post test are eligible for downloading certificate.

Stroke

Stroke

A stroke can occur when blood flow to the brain is blocked or there is sudden bleeding in the brain. There are two types of strokes. A stroke that occurs because blood flow to the brain is blocked is called an ischemic stroke. The brain cannot get oxygen and nutrients from the blood. Without oxygen and nutrients, brain cells begin to die within minutes. A stroke that occurs because of sudden bleeding in the brain is called a hemorrhagic stroke. The leaked blood results in pressure on brain cells, damaging them. Just under 90% of strokes involve blocked blood vessels (ischemic), and the rest involve internal bleeding (hemorrhagic). A stroke is a medical emergency and it  can cause lasting brain damage, long-term disability, or even death. Signs of a stroke can range from mild weakness to paralysis or numbness on one side of the face or body. Other signs may include a sudden and severe headache, sudden weakness, trouble seeing, and trouble speaking or understanding speech. The participants can enter to the course and progress to the session after attending a Pre test (Located prior to the sessions, there is no benchmark for the pre test). After completing the video modules participants can access the post test. Those who are scoring above 50% in post test are eligible for downloading certificate.
