Program Description

After ensuring your own safety upon arriving on the scene, the first priority is a patient’s airway. If a victim cannot exchange air, all resuscitation efforts are useless.

Aggressive and prompt airway management on the part of the rescuer is of paramount importance. Oxygen (O2) is a medication and, if properly used, is an excellent tool in combating shock. Annual re-certification with CPR is required to maintain current standards.

A four-hour programme designed to accompany a Healthcare Provider – Basic Rescuer – Level ‘C’ CPR course, this programme includes the following:

  • Airway anatomy
  • Airway obstruction
  • Use of suction devices
  • Oxygen tank maintenance
  • Use of Oropharyngeal Airways (OPA)
  • Use of Nasopharyngeal Airways (NPA)
  • Oxygen flow rates and delivery systems
  • Oxygen tank safety precautions & troubleshooting
  • Practical training on mannequins, and specialized Airway trainers

About the School

As a non-governmental business organization based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, we have been fortunate to experience the growth and prosperity of our amazing province and country. We have provided our expertise in training and consultation in Canada, the USA, and around the world. Our educators are registered in their respective health disciplines and maintain their professional credentials.

We work with Industry, Non-Profit Groups, and many Allied Healthcare Providers required to maintain their professional continuing education.

Our programs are delivered privately for our clients at their locations. We also offer one-on-one private tutoring, and small classes of 5 or less with flexible hours, and the decreased stress of working in a large class.

One of our unique roles is the delivery of the National Association of EMTs ’ educational offerings in trauma, medical, and tactical certificate courses. In fact, Greg Clarkes, our president had been volunteering as the Canadian Coordinator for the NAEMT’s PHTLS, AMLS, and the EPC course from the late 1990s, until 2015. He’s also been awarded the Mary-Ann Tally Award for the EMT instructor of the year from the NAEMT. This prestigious award has never been awarded to a Canadian EMS educator before!
