Brought to you by Sam and Courtney this day is for SVNs, RVNs and Vets in GP practice who want to feel more confident with anaesthesia and CPR. Being able to quickly identify the signs of impending CPA is imperative for positive outcomes. . By the end of the session you will be able to spot the signs before it goes wrong and be prepared for CPR should you need to initiate it.
Similar to last year we will be looking at monitoring our anaesthesia to hopefully prevent the CPA, including ECG interpretation, Capnography, and Cognitive Aids. We will take a full 360 view of CPR. All based on the RECOVER 2024 Guidelines and starting with BLS and ultimately ending with some relatable simulations.
The day is capped at 24 attendees to allow full participation and the feedback from last year was how much people enjoyed the group work. By bringing manikins and equipment with us this is the perfect time to ask the questions and collaborate with each other. Always wanted to squeeze an Ambu-Bag? Perform compression or see how a manometer works? This is the day for you.
‘The general buzz and vibe, as well as really informative content delivered in an easy to understand and engaging way. And the CPR cube is an amazing tool!’- June 2024
‘Both Sam and Courtney were so knowledgeable and approachable making the day awesome. Feel so much more confident and will be taking all their tips and tricks back into practice with me.’- Jan 2025
At £155 this day is fantastic value for money, providing you with 6 hours of CPD, parking and light lunch. Plus a goody bag packed with notes and resources, including resources and all attendees will get a PDF certificate.
The CPR 360 Day Agenda:
915: Welcome and introductions
9.30: No gold stars here – ‘Cognitive aids & Human factors’ Providing an insight in to how to set ourselves up for success and minimise error. Discussing a range of tools and aids then applying them to every day ways of working- Sam
10.30 ‘Capnography-stairs to hell or slow decline?’ – Spotting trends and understanding when our capnograph is trying to tell us something! – Courtney
11.30 ‘ECGS- the good, the bad and the boring’- By breaking the elements of an ECG and getting you thinking about what you can see this session is perfect to build confidence with ECGs- Courtney
12.30 – LUNCH
13.30 BLS – Back to Basics – CPR Theory based on RECOVER Guidelines and hands on small group sessions including the CUBE – Sam
15.30 Simulations: Fantasy based on reality with Sam & Courtney. The opportunity to run through a variety of scenarios and work through the RECOVER Algorithm including ALS.
16.30 END and Questions
Learning Outcomes:
Confidence with applying the guidelines to scenarios that you may see in practice.
An understanding of what cognitive aids are and how they support us during both anaesthesia and CPR.
The ability to identify when capnography parameters are abnormal, what that may indicate and when to worry.
The ability to identify a normal ECG, spot the abnormal rhythms and know when to seek help
A solid knowledge of the latest evidence CPR based guidelines
