Highlights of 54th ATLS Course at IIEMS Ernakulam




Many courses providing skill training for medical professionals were halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic's shutdown. At the same time, most medical professionals, such as doctors and nurses, were preoccupied with their jobs, which may have contributed to their inability to attend the classes. However, time is a factor, and experience counts, making this a tricky scenario.

Although most educational institutions have successfully transitioned to online learning, medical courses cannot be totally delivered online. You can probably figure out why! Medical professions are primarily on learning skills and involving living beings rather than machines who carry out procedures. This is why, whereas most fields of education were quick to embrace online learning, medicine took its time.

AHA Courses were eventually made available online and were formally approved by the American Heart Association. BLS ACLS Certification can be completed in a 3-day online course with practical's on the last day at the training site. However, this does not apply to the ATLS course.

The American College of Surgeons' ATLS Course focuses on improving the care of surgical patients who are in excruciating pain. Musculoskeletal problems affecting tissues, ligaments, or bones could be the source of discomfort. Accidents, burns, and climatic disasters can all cause agony. To summarize, trauma care training necessitates a thorough understanding of human anatomy as well as hands-on clinical experience.

IIEMS Ernakulam successfully conducted the 54th ATLS Course training under covid protocols, taking advantage of the small improvement in the pandemic scenario. This was a three-day trauma care training programme that doctors and physicians would find useful (MBBS, MD etc.). Trauma care is becoming more important in India in recent years. The collaborative efforts of the American College of Surgeons and Advanced Trauma Life Support in India have raised awareness among Indian medical practitioners.

The Indian Chapter of the American College of Surgeons is IIEMS, which is second only to the All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS) (ACS). What began as a small group is now a global phenomenon, with its practices recognized by numerous health authorities around the world. IIEMS is also an official associate of the American Chemical Society.

Apart from the American College of Surgeons, IIEMS has ties with International Trauma Life Support Inc (USA), George Washington University (USA), North Shore Health Systems (USA), and All India Institute of Medical Science (India) (New Delhi, India).

When Google collided with the Indian Institute of Emergency Medicine!

Many individuals still believe that emergency medical training is something that only doctors should perform. However, as you are aware, the term "emergency" refers to a situation that cannot wait for someone or anything to happen! This emergency can occur anywhere and at any moment, and it often does so at the most inconvenient times. This is where persons who have taken courses in emergency and disaster preparedness come in handy. In life-threatening situations, such people can save lives. On a typical day, a person spends the most of his time at work rather than at home. As a result, there are increased chances of an emergency situation occurring at work! Working professionals might benefit from corporate first aid training by assisting and supporting one another in such instances. This is why corporations should adopt the fundamentals of CPR training (AHA) and first aid training (AHA). The AHA recognised First Aid CPR AED Heartsaver course from IIEMS was provided to Googl

  Why Emergency Medical Services in India? Did you know there are more than 100,000 road/traffic-related deaths a year?  There are still around 40-60% of ambulances that do not have any medical equipment and around 95% of ambulances do not have trained personnel. All of these lead to one result- the death of the victim! Emergency Medical Services consist of a set up an initial response team along with facilities to efficiently respond to accidents and save deaths. Such a team and facilities  How do other countries reduce deaths caused by accidents? Well, we are not going into the comparison of road infrastructures of many developed countries with ours. In terms of emergency services, the least time the emergency response team takes to arrive at the place of the incident is 7 minutes. They still keep on improving the speed at which the response team arrives and the skills of the team. The aim here is to save the victim before getting them to ICU. India has a lot to learn from the countr

Commonly held reservations regarding the ACLS course!

 The need for BLS and ACLS courses has been recognised by the healthcare industry worldwide. Almost every hospital emergency department now demands ACLS certification for medical personnel. When compared to other healthcare professionals, those who hold genuine ACLS certification get 97.2 percent industry recognition. As a result, it's understandable that the demand for ACLS courses would be stronger. As a result of the increased demand, there is a surge in false information and phoney ACLS course providers. Huge discounts and certification in a short period of time are two frequent marketing strategies used to entice candidates. This leads to negative experiences for students who enrol in these bogus schools, which can have a negative impact on their careers. Overall, negative experiences with institutions can cause applicants to have doubts about their ability to achieve their goals. 1. Is it possible to take an ACLS course online? Ans. Yes, both online and offline versions of th
