Who Needs a Sedation Update?

The Dental Sedation Update Program is designed for individuals that are currently certified and practicing dental sedation and require the update every 2 years. Dental Assistants are invited to attend the program so that they are aware of the sedation process and how to assist the dentist with the management of the patient. 

The program content will cover, but not limited to; Virginia guidelines addressing dental sedation, indication for the use of sedation medication, side effects, reversal agents, etc., Pt and A/W assessment, and several scenarios concerning the complicated case and potential challenges associated with the practice of sedation.

ACLS Re-Certification Information

How to Get Ready

The ACLS Provider Course is designed to teach you the lifesaving skills required to be both a team member and a team leader in either an in-hospital or an out-of-hospital setting. Because the ACLS Provider Course covers extensive material in a short time, you will need to prepare for the course beforehand.

Please plan to arrive on time because it will be difficult for late students to catch up once we start. Students are expected to attend and participate in the entire course. 

Pre-Course Requirements

You should prepare for the course by doing the following: 

Review and understand the information in your ACLS Provider Manual .  

Ensure that your BLS skills and knowledge are current for the resuscitation scenarios. You will be tested on adult high-quality BLS skills at the beginning of the ACLS Course. You must know this in advance because you will not be taught how to do CPR or use an AED.  

Review, understand, and complete the ECG and Pharmacology Pre-course Self-Assessment on the Student Website (https://elearning.heart.org/course/). You will need to follow the steps below: 

•  Go to the link above 
•  Use drop down menu to select the course 
•  Select “ACLS Pre-course Self-Assessment [KJ-1480] 
•  Use the red button to,“Search Courses

YOU MUST HAVE THE PRETEST COMPLETED WITH A PASSING SCORE OF AT LEAST 70% PRIOR TO CLASS AND TURN IN THE
PRINTED COMPLETION CERTIFICATE.

What This Course Does Not Cover 

The ACLS Provider Course does not teach algorithms, ECG rhythm recognition, or pharmacology. If you do not
learn and understand the ECG and pharmacology information in the Pre-course Self-Assessment, it is unlikely that you can successfully complete the ACLS Provider Course. 

What to Bring

You may wish to purchase the AHA’s 2020 Handbook of Emergency Cardiovascular Care for Healthcare Providers (optional), which you may bring to the course to use as a reference guide during some of the stations in the course. 

We look forward to welcoming you on the date of class. If you have any questions about the course, please call Weet Baldwin at cell
