Course Overview

Designed by radiologists for radiologists, this advanced cardiac life support program, taking place at  Le Centre Sheraton, Montreal the evening of April 24 and at the new state-of-the-art simulation-based training centre located at the Université de Montréal throughout the day on April 25, addresses the specific radiologist scenarios and ACLS management.

The course will be offered in English and in French. Participants successfully completing this course will receive ACLS certification in accordance to the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Radiologists are the specific target audience for this activity. The ACLS course for radiologists was developed as a result of the CAR membership’s request, via previous event survey responses.

Registration closes March 16, 2012. Enhance patient safety and register now!

Learning Objectives

At the end of the conference, participants should be able to:

  1. Recognize and initiate early management of conditions that may result in cardiac arrest or complicate the resuscitation outcome.
  2. Demonstrate proficiency in providing Basic Life Support (BLS) care, including providing effective chest compressions and integrating AED use.
  3. Manage cardiac arrest until return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), termination of resuscitation, or transfer of care.
  4. Identify and treat patients with acute coronary syndromes.
  5. Recognize life threatening situations such as anaphylactic reactions, and provide effective initial care and transfer to reduce disability and death .
  6. Demonstrate effective communication as a member of a resuscitation team and recognize the impact of team dynamics on overall team performance.

Accreditation

The Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) for Radiologists is an Accredited Simulation Activity (Section 3) as defined by the NEW Maintenance of Certification program (MOC) of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC), and has been approved by the Canadian Association of Radiologists (CAR) for a maximum of 10.5 credit hours.

The RCPSC recording system will automatically convert the credit hours for this event to three credits per claimed hour (10.5 hours x 3 = 31.5 credit hours).

Physicians should only claim credits commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
