Cardio-respiratory arrest in children can be stressful for health care professionals/emergency services as well as the children's relatives, hence the importance of proper training in the recognition and management of the seriously ill paediatric patient.

Survival-linX follows Resuscitation Council (UK) guidelines and basic training courses are tailored to reflect your needs. Topics covered include:

1. Recognition of the ill paediatric patient
2. Infant & Child Basic Life Support
3. Management of the airway.
4. Airway adjuncts - Bag valve mask, pocket face mask etc.
5. Choking and recovery position techniques
6. Resuscitation Scenarios

We train the individual to use the airway adjuncts that are available to them and appropriate to their professional background. A significant amount of our current training includes tracheostomy tube management.

Very often basic life support (BLS) has already been initiated by others therefore you role in a resuscitation attempt whether calling an ambulance or supporting the relatives is also addressed.

Our training courses are practically based with a large emphasis on 'hands-on' candidate participation. Content is covered by a short lecture, demonstrations, skill stations again the focus on realistic scenario-based education giving you the confidence and basic skills required to offer the casualty the very best chance of survival.

A handout covering the current Resuscitation Council (UK) guidelines is also available to all candidates. A certificate will be issued following successful assessment.
