Basic Life Support for Dive Pro’s Instructor |
The remote nature of dive accidents, whether a few hours from shore or
days from civilization, frequently requires more advanced levels of
care than are offered by traditional or entry-level CPR programs. DAN
Instructors and Instructor Trainers will now be able to offer a
healthcare provider-level basic life support program for their student
and divers, called Basic Life Support for Dive Professionals (BLSPRO),
this program is ideal for dive professionals and divers interested in
understanding professional-level resuscitation techniques. This program
is designed to be applicable to the diving market, including scenes and
scenarios from dive situations, as well as the non-diving/healthcare
market. When coupled with DAN’s existing Training Programs and the new
Advanced Oxygen First Aid program, DAN Instructors and Instructor
Trainers will now be able to offer a complete diving emergency
program. This program also addresses basic life support skills
for adults, children and infants. Skills learned in this program
that set it apart from lay-provider level CPR courses include:
-
two-person CPR;
-
ventilation using a bag valve mask;
-
finger sweep;
-
suctioning;
- cricoid pressure
- technique for caring for an unconscious choking victim.
If you find that traditional CPR/1st aid courses are too limited
in the scope of medical care that you would like to teach then you’ll
benefit by qualifying as a ‘BLS for Pro’s’ Instructor in just 1
day. This course can also be used for legal requirements in the
work place or for regulatory measures, when more ‘lay person’ based 1st
aid programs are unsuitable.
