Basic life support

Posted at January 18, 2008 2:31 am

Basic life support

Basic Life Support (BLS) is a specific level of prehospital medical care provided by trained responders, including emergency medical technicians, in the absence of advanced medical care.

Basic Life Support consists of a number of life-saving techniques focused on the “ABC”s of prehospital emergency care:

  • Airway: the protection and maintenance of patient airway including the use of airway adjuncts such as an oral or nasal airway
  • Breathing: the actual flow of air through respiration, natural or artificial respiration, often assisted by emergency oxygen
  • Circulation: the movement of blood through the beating of the heart or the emergency measure of CPR

BLS may also include considerations of patient transport such as the protection of the cervical spine and avoiding additional injuries through splinting and immobilization.

BLS generally does not include the use of drugs or invasive skills, and can be contrasted with the provision of Advanced cardiac life support (ACLS). Most laypersons can master BLS skill after attending a short course. Firefighters and police officers are often required to be BLS certified. BLS is also immensely useful for many other professions, such as daycare providers, teachers and security personnel.

CPR provided in the field buys time for higher medical responders to arrive and provide ACLS. For this reason it is essential that any person starting CPR also obtains ACLS support by calling for help via radio using agency policies and procedures and/or using an appropriate emergency telephone number.

An important advance in providing BLS is the availability of the automated external defibrillator or AED, which can be used to deliver defibrillation. This improves survival outcomes in cardiac arrest cases, sometimes dramatically.

New BLS guidelines are published by the American Heart Association in December 2005 [1].

In other countries

The term BLS is also used in some non-English speaking countries (e.g. in Italy) for the education of first responders.

  • Belgium: Aide médicale urgente (”emergency medical assistance”)/ EHBO (Eerste Hulp Bij Ongelukken, “first aid”)
  • France: CFAPSE (certificat de formation aux activités des premiers secours en équipe, “education certificate for the team first responder activity”)
  • Germany: Erste Hilfe Schein (first aid certificate)
  • Romania: SVB (Suport Vital de Bază)
  • Netherlands: EHBO (Eerste Hulp Bij Ongelukken, “first aid”)

These courses do not include the use of drugs or of invasive techniques, but include the management of various traumas and casualty lifting and movement.

World Directory of Medical Schools

The World Directory of Medical Schools (WDMS) [2000 Edition pdf] is a publication of the World Health Organization (WHO) which lists all medical schools which have been recognized and granted a charter by their host countries. A listing in the WDMS does not provide any information regarding the quality of education at a medical school, nor does it imply any quality assurance by either the WHO or the host country.

International Medical Education Directory

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

The International Medical Education Directory (IMED) is published as a joint collaboration by the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) and the Foundation for Advancement of International Medical Education and Research (FAIMER). It provides an accurate and up-to-date resource of information about international medical schools that are recognized by the appropriate government agency in the countries where the medical schools are located. The agency responsible for this recognition in most countries is the Ministry of Health. Medical schools that are recognized by the appropriate agencies in their respective countries are listed in the International Medical Education Directory.

A listing in IMED does not provide any information regarding the quality of education at a medical school, nor does it imply any quality assurance by either the ECFMG or the host country.

Attending a school listed in IMED is often a requirement for licensing exams, such as the USMLE.[1]

Sports medicine

 

Sports medicine specializes in preventing, diagnosing and treating injuries related to participating in sports and/or exercise. The sports medicine “team” includes specialty physicians and surgeons, athletic trainers, physical therapists, coaches, other personnel, as well as the athlete himself/herself. Because of the competitive nature of sports, a primary focus of sports medicine is the rapid recovery of patients, which drives many innovations in the field. Derek woodworth aka Scooter and Jimbo

Sports medicine has always been difficult to define because it is not a single specialty, but an area that involves health care professionals, researchers and educators from a wide variety of disciplines. Its function is not only curative and rehabilitative, but especially preventive.

Despite this wide scope, there has been a tendency for many to assume that sport-related problems are by default musculoskeletal and that sports medicine is an orthopaedic specialty. There is much more to sports medicine than just musculoskeletal diagnosis and treatment. Illness or injury in sport can be caused by many factors – from environmental to physiological and psychological. Consequently, sports medicine can encompass an array of specialties, including cardiology, pulmonology, orthopaedic surgery, exercise physiology, biomechanics, and traumatology. For example, heat, cold or altitude during training and competition can alter performance or may even be life threatening. The female triad of disordered eating, menstrual disturbances, and bone density problems, and the problems of pregnant or aging athletes demand knowledge from many diverse fields. In addition, the management of dermatological and endocrinological diseases and other such problems in the athlete demands both medical expertise and sport-specific knowledge.

The use of supplements, pharmacological or otherwise, and the topics of doping control and gender verification present complex moral, legal and health-related difficulties. Further unique problems are associated with international sporting events, such as the effects of travel and acclimatization, and the attempt to balance an athlete’s participation with his or her health. Much of this draws on new fields of study, in which extensive clinical and basic science research is burgeoning.
