This is a training project for advanced life support that will hopefully be the basis of a sustainable certification program.
Goal:
Transfer of a viable Cardiovascular Program to physicians. Going forward to provide continued support for this program.
Team:
- Brendan Thomson MD
- Mary Alice Wetzel ACLS trainer
- Dave Farrow BS ACLS Instructor, Certified paramedic responder, Bachelors Degree in Criminal Justice
- Mike Epstein MD for neuro
- Hopefully Don Copley MD for cardiology
- Hopefully Chris Turner for airway
- Buddha Basnyat MD for intro lecture on the CV data from Nepal based on the work of Cliff Tobin of Harvard
- Support: Dr Gordon Ewy, leading US specialist on US CPR
- Barbara Aehlert, leading teacher in American ACLS
We can do it with possibly 2 or 3, but as stated above, there is more critical brain power and skills.
How ANMF can help? Looking at a teaching bag for each teacher. Need to decide what goes into it. Should not be a big expense. Will try to get donated or purchased at reduced price automatic defibrillators. Will need help.
We could use 6 more AEDs ( Automatic Electronic Defibrillators). Some places may be upgrading to newer ones and the older ones would be fine for us.
