C.P.R. for the Professional Rescuer (A.H.A.) (4.5 hours)

Course Number: 01809-12

Description: When performed quickly enough, CPR can save lives in such emergencies; heart attacks, electric shock, drowning, excessive bleeding, drug overdose, and other conditions in which there is no breathing or no pulse. The purpose of CPR is to bring oxygen to the victim’s lungs and to keep blood circulating so oxygen gets to every part of the body. When a person is deprived of oxygen, permanent brain damage can begin in as little as four minutes and death can follow only minutes later. The BLS for Healthcare Providers course covers core material such as adult and pediatric CPR (including two-rescuer scenarios and use of the bag masks), foreign body airway obstruction, and automated external defibrillation.

Coaching the Emergency Vehicle Operator II (Ambulance) (8 hours)  (Not Offered This Semester)

Course Number: 01302-XX

Description:

Defensive Driving Course (Ambulance) C.E.V.O.III (8 hours)

Course Number: 01303-12

Description: According to the National Safety Council, 4,767 ambulances were involved in crashes, resulting in 2, 416 injuries and fatalities during 2006. According to EMSresponder.com, ambulance drivers are twice as likely as law enforcement officers and three times more likely than firefighters to be killed while driving at “work”. The most dangerous part of the job for EMS is responding and returning from a call. Operating an ambulance requires specific knowledge, skills and attitudes that are unique to EMS and the ambulance. Increasing traffic and road speeds combine with poor ambulance operator training and unpredictable passenger vehicle driver reactions to create increased damages, injuries and death from ambulance crashes. Coaching the Emergency Vehicle Operator 3: Ambulance adapts the National Safety Council’s defensive driving techniques to the unique nature of ambulance work. Training drivers to navigate through traffic safely in both emergency and non-emergency situations. Vehicle Inspection/Preparation; Cushion of safety when driving an ambulance; on the road scenarios; Special consideration of specific collision producing situations as backing, and hydroplaning and Emergency driving.
