Here we go…. Normal Sinus Rhythm. The wife (P wave) waits at home for the husband (QRS). yeah and The husband (QRS) comes home on time every night. 1st Degree AV Block. The wife (P wave) is waiting at home. And The husband (QRS) comes home late every night, but he always comes home though and it’s at the same time every night. 2nd Degree Block Type one (Wenckebach). The wife (P wave) is waiting at home. The husband (QRS) comes home later and later every night until one night he doesn’t come at all. Note. husband (QRS) must come home at least 2 nights in a row to see this pattern Okay 2nd degree AV block type two. The wife (P wave) is waiting at home. Sometimes the husband (QRS) comes home, sometimes he doesn’t., When he does come home, it’s always at the same time. Okay Note. this is usually more serious than type I (Wenckebach) and will sometimes require counseling (pacing). The 3rd degree AV block. Wife (P wave) is no longer waiting at home. She and her husband (QRS) are now both on separate schedules and have no relationship and they are no longer talking. Each spouse has a regular, individual schedule. Note. this frequently requires counseling in the form of a temporary or permanent pacer.

The Heart Block Story was first published to via Tumblr The Heart Block Story Identifying that CPR training is a very important life-saving skill you should have is a great choice. However, that does not mean diving into the classes head on. Before you step into the first class at all – or even register for one – here are a couple of things you have to know. Choosing the right class levelDepending on why you want to learn Cardiopulmonaryresuscitation (CPR) in the first place, there are different class levels to consider. While there are some restriction to learning them all, it would be great to start with one that really pertains to what you need to make the best impact. The various class levels to pick from are:
The administration of CPR to adults is way different to the approach for infants and children so you should be properly trained to help when need be. Basic Life Support – This class teaches medically trained personnel the basic life support for healthcare providers, so the classes are a little more in-depth than the ones above. An American Heart Association BLS Card is required for everyone working in, on, or around a medical team. The American Heart Association BLS (CPR) for Healthcare Provider is intended for:Healthcare professionals, certified or noncertified, licensed or non-licensed, including:
What does the BLS course teach?
Advanced Cardiac Life Support – This AHA class teaches the Advanced Cardiac Life Support for healthcare providers, so the classes are much more involved than the BLS course. This is required for everyone working in an advanced medical capacity –WHO NEEDS THE ACLS CERTIFICATION?The American Heart Association’s HeartCode ACLS Course is intended for healthcare providers who either direct or participate in the resuscitation of an adult patient, whether in or out of the hospital, including:
The class will take into consideration all Medications, Advanced CPR techniques and other Advanced procedures. Pediatric Advanced Life Support – PALS for healthcare providers is for those who respond to emergencies in infants and children and for personnel in emergency response, emergency medicine, intensive care and critical care units
What does this course teach? The goal of the PALS Course is to improve the quality of care provided to seriously ill or injured infants, and children, resulting in better outcomes. Upon successful completion of all the patient cases, students must pass the multiple-choice exam with a minimum score of 84%. Topics include:
These are so really high tech events. PALS is not for everyone, these are truly special people.
Choosing the right instructorYour certification is important, no doubt, but not as important as the skill itself. That is why we recommend not only chasing the certificate but the proper knowledge too. That will only be possible if you learn from truly professional, certified, seasoned AHA, ARC Instructors. Our Instructors have varied backgrounds (Nurses, physicians, EMT’s, and Paramedics in multi faceted emergency care settings. No matter which level of CPR certification you aim to attain, the instructors at Atlanta CPR are up to the task. Having been doing this in the same spot for about a decade, and receiving a honors from the American Heart Association American Red Cross too, we comply with the current CPR training standards to ensure you’re capable to teaching these life-saving techniques perfectly whenever called upon. Asking the right questionsBefore putting your money and time into any CPR training program, you really want to know if it meets your expectations. Here, we expect you to ask questions on the lines of:
We have instructors that have been certified and teaching for well over 25
In closing… We know this was a lot to read. But, lifesavers study hard, so we can easily save a lives. Atlanta CPR and First Aid is headquartered at: Atlanta, Ga. 30324 We are both, an American Heart Association Training Site*, and Proud Provider of American Red Cross First Aid, CPR and AED Training All Atlanta CPR Instructors are fully credentialed American Heart Association BLS, ACLS, Heartsaver Instructors Don’t Take Any/ Another CPR Training Class Before Reading This Read more on: via Tumblr Don’t Take Any/ Another CPR Training Class Before Reading This When many people hear about CPR Certification, it sounds like something that can only be learned in medical school. To others, it is one of the intricacies of the healthcare system which should be left to those who are in that field. Personally, we don’t believe any of that to be true. In fact, here are some cool reasons why you should consider learning CPR, and actually go for it too. 1 Be the SolutionThere is a popular saying that goes ‘If you are not a part of the solution, you are a part of the problem.’ Unfortunately, the latter is true for some 97% of the entire US population. Afterall, only about 3% of the entire heads in the country have received CPR training – according to the EMS1. That means many people would not know what to do in the event of a cardiac arrest, and that would lead to more deaths than should have been. Speaking of deaths… 2 You become a lifesaverThe American Heart Association records that the US sees more than 350,000 cases of cardiac arrests occurring outside of the hospitals on a yearly basis. That is not the scary part, but that 88% of these cases lead to death. We understand that cardiac arrests can sometimes be irreversibly fatal, but they are not always so. Should CPR-certified personnel be around at any of those times, many of these cardiac arrest-related deaths would have been avoided. 3 It is not rocket scienceWe can not even lie – doctors and nurses are some of the smartest people on the planet. In fact, they are so smart, it can be intimidating. They have ACLS Providers cards. ACLS is Advanced Cardiac Life Support Guess what, though? You can show them how smart you can be too, when you learn CPR – and you will have no issues learning any of the concepts or administration processes at all. There are a few levels of CPR Certifications:
Thinking you would need a recommendation or prior training from a medical school to properly learn CPR is just wrong thinking. Sign up for a class today and you would find out we are not kidding you. You may end up doing CPR on a medical team. A medical team consists of six persons: Compressor (does chest compressions), Defibrillator (person who delivers the shock), Airway (gives the breaths with an Ambu Bag), Medications Person (gives the ACLS drugs), Team Leader (usually is a Doctor or Nurse), and a Recorder (writes down the sequence of event during CPR). 4 You become smarter tooHow do you feel after learning any new thing? Smarter, we believe. That is the same way you would feel as soon as you add CPR to your list of skills. You now know more than the average person on saving lives in case of a cardiac arrest – or any other related condition. You also become something of a mini-authority on the subject if the discussion ever comes up among your social circle. 5 A better resumeYou might not know this, but a series of jobs in the non-medical industry are now requiring CPR certification. Even though that might not be on the initial job requirements, it is one of those things hiring managers could look forward to seeing. Having such on your resume shows that you care about not just yourself, but the lives of everyone else around you. Likewise, you become a better asset to the company since you are considered responsible for not only your personal wellbeing, but instrumental in the wellbeing of everyone else around you at any point in time. Win-win for you, don’t you think? Wrap UpGingered to get your CPR training and BLS Certification too? We’ve got just the right thing for you at Atlanta CPR Everyday. From the daily Basic Life Support BLS (BLS is CPR for healthcare Providers) to ACLS Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS is Doctor / Nurse stuff).
