Description :

In remote areas, where access to medical care is limited and evacuation times can be long, the ability to recognize and manage a cardiovascular emergency can make all the difference. Heart attacks, arrhythmias and strokes are among the leading causes of death, but rapid, well-informed intervention can save lives.

This webinar will give you the tools you need to effectively assess and manage these emergencies in the field.

What does this conference have in store for you?

You will learn to :

• Recognize the signs and symptoms of cardiac emergencies, such as myocardial infarction and angina, differentiating between cases requiring urgent intervention.
• Understand the most common arrhythmias, their clinical implications, and how to assess them even without an ECG, thanks to simplified techniques and the use of portable tools like Kardia or connected watches.
• Effective stroke management in the field, applying the FAST tool for rapid recognition and understanding critical transfer criteria, including the 4.5-hour window for thrombolysis and delays for interventional angiography.
• Apply simple decision-making algorithms, accessible to all, to guide your interventions in isolated areas and prioritize the actions to be taken.

This webinar will provide you with practical advice, simplified protocols and teaching resources that you can use immediately in your training courses or interventions. You'll also discover modern tools to enhance your assessments, such as handheld devices for real-time heart rate monitoring.
