The LifeFlight Education Series is a compilation of the following three courses to teach LifeFlight nurses important airway management, birthing, and life-support skills:
- Advanced/Difficult Airway Simulation
- Birthing Simulation
- Prehospital Life Support Renewal Course
- Advanced/Difficult Airway Simulation
During this course, instructors use the Laerdal SimMan to simulate difficult airway scenarios. LifeFlight nurses will demonstrate ventilation/intubation of SimMan who exhibits signs and symptoms of trismus and spinal inflexibility.
Upon completion of this course, LifeFlight nurses should be able to:
- Recognize obstructions to easy intubation
- Use Rapid Sequence Induction (RSI) to successfully intubate SimMan
During this course, the Gaumard Birthing Noelle will be utilized to simulate the birthing process. LifeFlight nurses will:
- Recognize when a delivery is imminent and when to use specific supplies
- Demonstrate an understanding of primary and secondary survey
- Perform emergency life-saving treatment in a systemic manner
