The Cardiac Surgery Advanced Life Support Course

This video commences with a 3 minute full emergency resternotomy following the csu-als protocol (demonstrated on a manikin at the Trent Cardiac Centre). It shows the EACTS protocol poster and the 6 key roles, the new sternotomy manikin and the 5 piece emergency set and we also show you a real emergency resternotomy on a stable patient and internal massage on a patient following CABG. We finally give you details about where to find more information. (www.csu-als.com)

Thanks Spunky2268. The Organiser of the one day course at the AACN also offers full courses in the USA. Her name is Jill Ley and her E-mail is LeyJ sutterhealth . Alternatively if you really get your unit keen we can offer a full course to your hospital. Let me know if you are interested in this.

Remember we can send you a manikin with all the lectures if you like too. My E-mail is joeldunning

what does CABG mean?

Thanks for putting up the vid. Good medicine. Is there any chance that your three-day course will be brought to the States? I noticed that a one-day course was offered at the AACN conference this year, but I think there is substantially more to be gained by taking the complete course.

Thanks very much for putting this up!

@mindygrahamkrauth Sometimes they do. Not at the patient though and not when family or other patients are around. They probably do not do it on the floor very much either, but in the ER or Ambulance it happens. They laugh at themselves not at the patient. We laugh at our stupid habits during a code.

The first half is part of a training course for medical professionals, thus the laughter. they're learning something that some of them are not familiar with (for example, rural hospital personnel learning to do cardiac massage) and their laughter is 'nervous laughter'. The second part is the real thing (but not an emergency) and you hear no laughter there.
