Over the past month, CRRH had the privilege of hosting resident doctors on attachment. One of the key highlights of their stay was a 2-day Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) Master Class for our nursing staff, organized by the Emergency Department.
Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) is a crucial set of clinical protocols designed to manage life-threatening medical emergencies, including cardiac arrests, strokes, and other severe cardiac conditions. Mastery of ACLS empowers healthcare professionals to deliver timely and effective interventions that can save lives.
The workshop was conducted over two days:
Day 1: Focused on theoretical sessions, covering the ACLS algorithm, ECG interpretation, and airway management techniques.
Day 2: Included hands-on training with real-life simulation exercises, providing nurses with practical skills to apply ACLS techniques in critical situations.
This training aims to equip our nurses, who are the key members of the healthcare team, with advanced skills to handle emergencies effectively. Efficient management of medical emergencies not only improves patient outcomes but also significantly enhances survival rates.
The participants found the training immensely beneficial and emphasized the need for such trainings to be conducted regularly across all departments to ensure that every staff member is confident and prepared to manage medical emergencies.
We extend our sincere gratitude to Dr. N.B. Rai (Emergency Physician, CRRH), Dr. Gembo Wangchuk (Emergency Medicine Resident, KGUMSB) and Dr. Sonam Tsheten (Emergency Medicine Resident, KGUMSB).
Their expertise, dedication, and commitment made this workshop a success. We also commend the active participation of our nurses, whose enthusiasm and dedication to patient care are commendable.
CRRH remains committed to enhancing the skills and capacity of its healthcare team to provide the best possible care to the community we serve.
