ADA NSW Centre for Professional Development | Crisis Management in Medical Emergencies Event

Crisis Management in Medical Emergencies

Presented by The Cynergex Group

Managing a medical emergency in your practice requires more than just medical training and skills. Without a coordinated approach and effective communication under pressure, simple mistakes can have devastating consequences.

This activity is designed to reinforce a team approach to the management of a range of medical emergencies within a dental surgery. Using the “SimMan” patient simulator, your team can experience realistic simulations of medical emergencies in a controlled environment, and build upon the individual knowledge and skills gained from completion of the Medical Emergencies Certification Training.

This course has been designed for dental practices, and introduces the team to the concept of Crew Resource Management (CRM) - a system that analyses team communication and behaviours aimed at increased efficiency and recognising potential problems before they arise.

Whether you’re looking to refresh your team’s CPR skills, or improve the way your team performs in a medical emergency, this course will increase confidence and reinforce skills.

Successful completion of the Medical Emergencies Certification Training course is a prerequisite for this course.

Topics include

Crew Resource Management (CRM) Techniques
Practical application of advanced resuscitation procedures and CPR
Team debriefing and assessment
Scenario practice using SimMan manikin
Gap analysis
