Coffee Break |
|
11:30 - 12:00 |
Airway Management |
Participants will acquire skills for safe and effective basic and advanced airway management techniques. |
Dr. Mehmet GÜL |
|
12:00 - 13:00 |
Lunch Break |
|
13:00 - 13:30 |
Advanced Cardiac Life Support and Updates (Theory) |
ACLS algorithms and recent guideline updates will be presented to support clinical decision-making. |
Dr. Başar CANDER |
|
13:30 - 14:00 |
Cardiovascular Pharmacology |
The course will cover the actions, dosages, and appropriate timing of drugs used during resuscitation |
Dr. Bahadır TAŞLIDERE |
|
14:00 - 14:30 |
Myocardial Infarction |
The session will address the diagnosis, ECG findings, and emergency treatment of acute myocardial infarction. |
Dr. Serhat ÖRÜN |
|
14:30 - 14:40 |
Coffee Break |
|
14:40 - 15:00 |
Dysrhythmias and Electrical Therapies |
Participants will learn to identify arrhythmias and perform appropriate electrical interventions. |
Dr. Bilgehan Ahmet CUMHUR |
|
15:00 - 15:30 |
Ultrasonography in Resuscitation |
Core principles of ultrasound use during resuscitation will be introduced to support rapid diagnosis. |
Dr. Arif KARAGÖZ |
|
Day 1 – Practical Training (Group Rotation) |
|
Time |
Room 1 (Airway) |
Room 2 (Dysrhythmia) |
Room 3 (Rhythm) |
Room 4 (Scenario) |
|
Learning Objectives and Goals |
Participants will learn and practice both basic and advanced airway management techniques to ensure effective oxygenation and ventilation during resuscitation. |
The goal is to recognize and differentiate common dysrhythmias and apply appropriate treatment protocols, including pharmacological and electrical interventions. |
Participants will interpret ECG rhythms accurately and decide on the correct ACLS algorithm based on the patient’s cardiac rhythm. |
This room simulates real-life cardiac arrest situations, aiming to integrate team-based resuscitation skills, leadership, and clinical decision-making under pressure. |
