COURSE OBJECTIVES

Identify unique features of the cardiac surgery patient that warrant modifications to standard resuscitation technique

Distinguish critical differences between protocols for ACLS versus CALS

Describe the STS  / EACTS standardized protocol for management of a cardiac arrest in a post-cardiac surgery patient

Discuss and make use of the 5 point plan in a team situation so as to successfully resuscitate a number of peri-arrest scenarios in simulation

Learn about the effect of Human Factors in cardiac surgical / critical care scenarios and make use of these to improve team working in a cardiac arrest situation

Demonstrate successful CALS re-sternotomy as a team within 5 minutes to optimise post cardiac surgical arrest

The CSU-ALS Trainer Course is a 5 hour course where CSU-ALS Providers with an interest in becoming CSU-ALS Trainers are instructed on teaching the STS/ EACTS protocol for resuscitation of arresting cardiac surgery patients. 

The course:

• Reviews more robustly the science behind the protocol
• Discusses preparation of a course, materials and equipment required
• Reviews operation of the CSU-ALS Manikin
• Reviews techniques for providing feedback and answers to common questions
• Discusses the clinical scenarios and use of the Laerdal software
• Practice leading the clinical scenarios and teaching the 5 Point Plan

To become a CSU-ALS trainer you must complete a CSU-ALS Provider course and be current in your certification, complete the CSU-ALS Trainer course and be proctored twice teaching a course by CSU-ALS designated faculty.  The certification is for 2 years.  To maintain status as a Trainer, you must teach at least 2 classes per year and complete the E-Learning full course within your two years.

The CSU-ALS Trainer Course is a 5 hour course where CSU-ALS Providers with an interest in becoming CSU-ALS Trainers are instructed on teaching the STS/ EACTS protocol for resuscitation of arresting cardiac surgery patients. 

The course:

Reviews more robustly the science behind the protocol
Discusses preparation of a course, materials and equipment required
Reviews operation of the CSU-ALS Manikin
Reviews techniques for providing feedback and answers to common questions
Discusses the clinical scenarios and use of the Laerdal software
Practice leading the clinical scenarios and teaching the 5 Point Plan


To become a CSU-ALS trainer you must complete a CSU-ALS Provider course and be current in your certification, complete the CSU-ALS Trainer course and be proctored twice teaching a course by CSU-ALS designated faculty.  The certification is for 2 years.  To maintain status as a Trainer, you must teach at least 2 classes per year and complete the E-Learning full course within your two years.

This course is designed for members of the cardiothoracic surgery team who wish to learn a novel, evidence-based approach to the resuscitation of postoperative cardiac surgical patients . Using a format similar to Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), this program will include didactic lectures as well as hands-on practice with emergency pacing, internal and external defibrillation, resternotomy and skills associate with airway support.

Describe the STS  / EACTS standardized protocol for management of a cardiac arrest in a post-cardiac surgery patient

Discuss and make use of the 5 point plan in a team situation so as to successfully resuscitate a number of peri-arrest scenarios in simulation

Learn about the effect of Human Factors in cardiac surgical / critical care scenarios and make use of these to improve team working in a cardiac arrest situation

Demonstrate successful CALS re-sternotomy as a team within 5 minutes to optimise post cardiac surgical arrest
