• Pathophysiology of opioid overdose

• Special considerations on how to care for overdose patients, including naloxone administration

• Recognizing the need for high-quality CPR and the use of a defibrillator as indicated

• Information on the importance and types of resources available for individuals after an opioid overdose, including medication-assisted therapies

​

6.  Advanced Life Support Respiratory Emergencies  $35                            

The ALS: Respiratory Emergencies Module covers several of the most common respiratory emergencies including severe asthma, cardiogenic pulmonary edema, anaphylaxis, peri-intubation arrest, pulmonary embolism, and noncardiogenic pulmonary edema. It educates students on the identification of signs and symptoms, descriptions of treatments, potential complications, and considerations. The goal of this module is how to treat these respiratory emergencies before they lead to cardiac arrest.

​

7.  Advanced Life Support Post-Cardiac Arrest Care $35          

The Post-Cardiac Arrest Care Module describes the pathophysiology of a post-arrest syndrome, the initial management of post-cardiac arrest (first 30 min), and 24-to-72-hour post-ROSC management.

​

8.  Advanced Life Support Advanced Airway Management $35

The ALS: Advanced Airway Management Module is designed to teach providers how to evaluate and determine the need for an advanced airway in patients. This course provides instruction on the strategies of oxygen monitoring and delivery prior to advanced airway placement. It also demonstrates the strategies and goals of advanced airway insertion, troubleshooting issues, ensuring proper placement, and monitoring the patient.

​

9.  Advanced Life Support  High Performance Teams $35

The ALS: High-Performance Teams Module covers the essential role of high-performance teams in improving survival from cardiac arrest. It educates students on how high-performance teams carry out their roles in highly effective manners, resulting in superior performance and timing, which can translate to improved survival for patients in cardiac arrest.
 

10.  Advanced Life Support Maternal Cardiac Arrest $35

Maternal Cardiac Arrest (MCA) is a life-threatening event that may occur in any healthcare setting, even outside the hospital. Cardiac arrest in this population poses unique challenges to a healthcare team since there are critical actions affecting two patients. The ALS: Maternal Cardiac Arrest Module explores the why of MCA and how to treat pregnant cardiac arrest patients within a hospital.

 

 

Pediatric Patient Courses:
 

1.  PALS Plus Advanced Airway Management $35

Pediatric airways are not just small adult airways; they carry special considerations and treatments. This module will compare those differences and further discuss the clinical features, diagnosis, and management tactics for obstructions and upper and lower airway diseases of the lungs. It will discuss positive-pressure ventilation and the requirements for advanced airway placement. Additionally, the module will address aerosol-generating procedures in the COVID-19 era.
 

2.  PALS Plus Trauma Overview and Approach $35

PALS Plus: Trauma – Overview and Approach is a self-directed, eLearning module that covers concepts and interventions related to pediatric trauma. This module addresses unique anatomic and physiologic characteristics that affect the interventions and responses to injury and subsequent management.
 

3. PALS Plus Ultrasound $35

PALS Plus: Ultrasound is a self-directed, eLearning module that covers the basic principles of pediatric ultrasound physics; basic controls common to most medical ultrasound equipment; images obtained for an e-FAST ultrasound study; other applications of point-of-care ultrasound; and performing ultrasound assessments of the airway (A), breathing (B), circulation (C), and disability (D) (trauma).
 

4. PALS Plus Child Abuse $35

This module covers the concepts and interventions related to pediatric child abuse. Content includes topics such as recognition of risk for abuse, understanding gross-motor development, recognition of “red flags,” distinguishing bruising patterns, burn characteristics, and recognition of potential exposure to illicit substances.

This module addresses levels of sedation and the pediatric-focused considerations associated. It covers the common medications and monitoring needed to keep the patient safe. The module includes several clinical scenarios for students to apply their knowledge in a practical way.
 

7.  PALS Plus Post Cardiac Arrest $35

The purpose of this module is to educate providers on the pathophysiology and clinical manifestations of pediatric post–cardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS), implementation of cardiac monitoring as part of PCAS, implementation of respiratory support of the intubated child during PCAC, implementation of neurologic support and monitoring during PCAC, monitoring for and managing other physiologic/organ/secondary complications of PCAS, outcomes and prognostication after cardiac arrest, and recovery after cardiac arrest.
