Refresher week of the Emergency Medical Care course conducted on Saba

From 10 November until 14 November 2014 MeduProf-S nursing experts Ruben Verlangen and Erik van Roon visited Saba, the unspoiled Queen. They conducted the refresher week of the Emergency Medical Care course in the A.M. Edwards Medical Center. The participants were well prepared and that resulted in very effective training, teaching and discussions. The main topics, on request of the participants were Basic Life Support for adults, Paediatric Basic Life Support, changes in the approach of trauma patients related to cervical spine immobilization, nursing calculations and how to triage in a major accident. The ABCDE-approach for trauma and non-trauma patients was also refreshed and put into practice. A lot of practical skills were practiced together with some case scenarios.

Both the participants and trainers were exited with the learning results of this week!
