CPR Training Courses
The AHA’s BLS Provider Course reflects science and education from the Latest Guidelines Update for CPR and ECC. It teaches both single-rescuer and team basic life support skills for application in both prehospital and in-facility environments, with a focus on high-quality CPR and team dynamics.
In the Instructor-led course, students participate in simulated clinical scenarios and learning stations. Students work with an AHA BLS Instructor to complete BLS skills practice and skills testing. Students also complete a written exam. This course is offered in hybrid form also.
Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) Programs
ACLS is an advanced, Instructor-led classroom course that highlights the importance of team dynamics and communication, systems of care and immediate post-cardiac arrest care. It also covers airway management and related pharmacology. In this course, skills are taught in large, group sessions and small, group learning and testing stations where case-based scenarios are presented.
This course REQUIRES completion of pre-course work so students are encouraged to register far enough in advance to complete the precourse evaluation and review the videos. This course is offered in hybrid form also.
Pediatric Life Support (PALS) Programs
The AHA’s PALS Course has been updated to reflect new science in the Latest AHA Guidelines Update for CPR and ECC. This classroom, Instructor-led course uses a series of videos and simulated pediatric emergencies to reinforce the important concepts of a systematic approach to pediatric assessment, basic life support, PALS treatment algorithms, effective resuscitation, and team dynamics. The goal of the PALS Course is to improve the quality of care provided to seriously ill or injured children, resulting in improved outcomes.
This course REQUIRES completion of pre-course work so students are encouraged to register far enough in advance to complete the precourse evaluation and review the videos. This course is offered in hybrid form also.
First Aid Programs
This program is designed for day care workers, work-place medical response teams, camp counselors and anyone who needs to provide first aid, CPR and use an AED in a non-healthcare environment.
The AHA's Heartsaver First Aid CPR AED Course is offered in both classroom instructor-led or hybrid models. This course designed to prepare students to provide first aid, CPR, and use an automated external defibrillator (AED) use in a safe, timely, and effective manner. Upon successful completion of the course, including a first aid skills demonstration and a CPR and AED skills test, students receive a Heartsaver First Aid CPR AED course completion card, valid for two years.
Point of Care Ultrasound
Upstate NY Life Support Training is proud to have partnered with Insonate, LLC to offer the next level of assessment tools for all healthcare providers. We will be offering several of these course open to individual providers to enroll in, however, these programs are offered on a one-to-one or group sessions also.
Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) is a rapidly emerging methodology that quickly and more accurately assesses patients and facilitates early diagnosis. It does not replace standard ultrasound studies done by experienced ultrasonographers and radiologists.
It is a screening tool that allows for quick, accurate assessments and augments physical exam and history. Unlike 12 Lead EKG interpretation, this technology can be learned in modules according to provider needs.
