BASIC LIFE SUPPORT

Designed for medical and paramedical hospital and clinical personnel, rescue and emergency response  professionals, health care employees, and students of medical and allied medical fields using American Heart Association standards. Participants learn Adult Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, Rescue Breathing, and Foreign Body Airway Obstruction Management through lecture-demonstration classes and skills exercises and testing. A must for those who intend to take Advanced Cardiac Life Support training.

Target Participants:    All Healthcare Providers

Pre-requisite course:  None

Total training time:   8 hours

Training fee:               P800.00

Validity:                       1 year

BASIC ECG COURSE

A workshop for nurses, caregivers, medical, and paramedical personnel to provide them with a basic understanding of Electrocardiography. Participants learn to take and interpret ECG tracings through lecture-demonstrations and hands-on exercises.

Target Participants:    Paramedical Healthcare Professionals

Pre-requisite course:  None

Total training time:     20 hours

Training fee:               P3000.00

Validity:                       no expiration

This is mandatory for nurses and other non-doctor healthcare providers wishing to take up Advanced Cardiac Life Support training.

ADVANCED CARDIAC LIFE SUPPORT

Comprehensive and very challenging, the Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) training course incorporates all the theoretical and practical aspects of resuscitation. It includes lectures on BLS, ECG interpretation, and the pharmacologic administration of critical drugs.

The course also includes small group discussions on basic core cases in ACLS. Participants here tackle the prudent use of algorithms recommended by the American Heart Association (AHA), and American College of Cardiology (ACC) in each of the respective core cases. The course also boasts of skills and testing stations using state-of-the-art training aids where participants are taught intubation, defibrillation, and arrhythmia recognition.

ACLS is for medical and paramedical professionals with a working knowledge in BLS and ECG reading interested in furthering their knowledge with advanced resuscitation principles and techniques.

Target Participants:                Medical & Paramedical Healthcare Professionals

Pre-requisite course:

Physicians:                 BLS

Non-Physicians:         BLS and Basic ECG

Total training time:     20 hours

Training fee:               P3600.00

Validity:                       2 years

PEDIATRIC ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT

The program on Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) at the Philippine Heart Center was initially incorporated in the ACLS. In November 2006, a group of PALS trained pediatric cardiologists and pulmonologists initiated the PALS program as a separate course with the objective of providing a more extensive approach to pediatric resuscitation.

The PALS program is a 16-hour course which caters to medical (nurses, medical students, interns and doctors) and paramedical personnel who are interested in furthering their knowledge on pediatric resuscitation.

The course includes lectures on recognition of respiratory Failure and shock, fluid therapy and medications, cardiac rhythm disturbances, trauma and newborn resuscitation, integration of cases and post arrest stabilization.

There are also skill stations on pediatric basic life support, airway and ventilation, and vascular access using state of the art training materials.

We have computerized mega-code wherein we show actual ECG tracing and make of the state of the art mannequin simulating an actual pediatric patient needing resuscitation.

Likewise, there are interactive sessions, which are held to integrate knowledge and skills into a clinically useful discipline.

At the end of this program, each participant is then expected to be competent and knowledgeable in the following:

* Basic Life Support (pediatric CPR, management of foreign body aspiration)

* Pediatric intubation and resuscitation (including newborns

* Interpretation and management of common pediatric arrhythmias

* Vascular access

* Common medications used in resuscitation

We recommend this course, which is accredited by the Philippine Pediatric Society, to all those interested in enhancing their knowledge and skills in pediatric  resuscitation.

Pre-requisite course:              None

Total training time                  16 hours

Training fee:                           P2, 000.00

CARDIO—RENAL Nurse Training Program

A five-week Cardio – Renal Course designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to provide dialysis treatment and efficient care to renal patients.

At the end of the course, participants should be able:

* To discuss the principles of Hemodialysis/Peritoneal Dialysis/CRRT;

* To operate hemodialysis machine/cycler/reprocessing machine and water system;

* To practice infection control in dialysis setting;

* To identify the renal patient needs based on a comprehensive assessment;

* To discuss the duties and responsibilities of a dialysis nurse; and;

* To formulate a nursing care plan based on the needs identified.

PEDIATRIC CARDIOLOGY (BACK TO BASICS)

Providing a state of the art diagnosis and management of children with Heart Disease through continued research and education for all health providers

Through the years we have accepted residents in different hospitals to rotate in our institution for 2-3 months exposure in our subspecialty, however, not all institutions can send their residents for training. Because of this, we were to inspired to create and offer you our 3-day extensive and well rounded approach to pediatric cardiology entitled Pediatric Cardiology: Back to Basics.

This course is open to all Pediatricians, Pediatric Residents, Family Physician and General Practitioners who are in direct care to our children with heart disease.

The course includes:

* Simplified approach to the diagnosis and management of congenital as well as acquired heart disease.

* Reading and interpretation of 15-lead electrocardiogram and Chest Xray

* Exposure to basic 2D echocardiogram and Cardiac Catheterization.

* Streamlined approach to Cardiac Emergencies

* Hands-on examination and Diagnosis of cardiac patients during the workshop.

We are offering the course to a maximum of 30 participants for a better interaction between you and the faculty.

Pre-requisite course:              None

Total Training time:                24 Hours

Training Fee:                           P2,000.00

REQUIREMENTS:

* Photocopy of PRC License / TOR

* 1×1 / 2×2 ID picture
