Description

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.
