Does the LMS based national training meet the requirement for “ACLS or equivalent” training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, airway management, and management of cardiac arrhythmias?
Answer 2. NO. The Directive’s training requirement covers four areas a. Evaluating patients before performing moderate sedation. b. Performing moderate sedation, including rescuing patients who slip into deep sedation. c. Knowing the pharmacokinetics of the drugs typically used for moderate sedation, as well as the potential effects of the drugs on vital functions. d. Training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), airway management, and management of cardiac arrhythmias (This requirement (i.e. d.) may be satisfied by successful completion of Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) training or equivalent training. Periodic re-training or renewal of this training must be obtained as recommended by the American Heart Association or other training entity). The LMS based national Moderate Sedation training covers the first three required areas. While the national Moderate Sedation training provides information on airway management it does not cover CPR or cardiac arrhythmias. The LMS based A
