Advanced Burn Life Support (ABLS) is a one-day course designed to teach providers, nurses, and paramedics how to assess and manage a severely burned patient during the first 24 hours post-injury.
Following a series of lectures, case studies are presented for group discussions.
Course lectures include:
• Initial Assessment & Management
• Airway Management and Smoke Inhalation Injury
• Shock & Fluid Resuscitation
• Burn Wound Management
• Electrical Injury
• Chemical Burns
• Pediatric Burn Injuries
• Stabilization, Transfer & Transport
• Disaster Management and the ABA Plan
You will also have the opportunity to work with a simulated burn patient to reinforce the assessment, stabilization, and the American Burn Association transfer criteria to a Burn Center.
Testing consists of a written exam and a practical assessment.
IMPORTANT: To be eligible for ABA CEU, registration is also required at www.ameriburn.org.
