CME FK UII Holds Training Through Targeted Lectures

Kaliurang (UIINews) – Faculty of Medicine Universitas Islam Indonesia through the Continuing Medical Education Unit (CME) in collaboration with the Association of Indonesian Cardiovascular Specialists (PERKI) held Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) on March 25-27 2016 at the Faculty of Medicine building complex Universitas Islam Indonesia Jalan Kaliurang km 14.5 Yogyakarta. This training was attended by 32 doctors who graduated from various state universities with the largest percentage coming from doctors who were alumni of FK UII, several participants came from UNHAS, UMI Makasar, UGM and UMY.
This ACLS training took place intensively for 3 days through focused lectures, interactive discussions, and teamwork, as well as skills training in skill stations and megacode using the most modern simulator tools. The material for this training contains Basic Life Support, Airway Management and Advanced Cardiac Life Support. The purpose of this training is to provide knowledge and skills for medical personnel, especially doctors, so that they can comprehensively handle cardiac emergencies experienced by patients in medical services.
Cardiac emergencies including cardiac arrest, shock (shock), and acute heart failure are complications that cause a high mortality rate in patients with acute coronary syndromes, especially acute myocardial infarction. These deaths can occur outside the hospital or after admission to hospital treatment. Anticipation and prompt action that is appropriate within the first minutes by trained personnel will reduce the likelihood of cardiac arrest, shock, and acute heart failure. Educating people with heart and blood vessel disease and the public will make them more quickly suspect and realize the possibility of a heart attack so they can seek help more quickly.
In the future this ACLS training will continue to be carried out at the Faculty of Medicine Universitas Islam Indonesia so that the quality of doctors' services for patients with cardiac emergencies is getting better so it is hoped that the mortality rate due to cardiac emergencies can decrease.
