美国心脏协会 hosts first ever Japan Regional Conference
American Heart Association instructors from Japan recently gathered in Tokyo to celebrate the Association’s first Regional Conference. Over 90 instructors from throughout Japan heard the latest updates from the Association’s science experts at a conference center near Shinagawa Station in Tokyo.
The Association’s training network in Japan actively conducts life-saving training throughout the country. Instructors in Japan may be doctors, nurses, EMTs, or laypeople. 不管他们的背景如何, they are a relentless force to improve the response to sudden cardiac arrest. Through the Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) programs, the Association’s instructors trained about 50,去年在日本有1000人.
Shinagawa City, a densely populated special ward in Tokyo, is a large commercial hub in Japan. 首页 to several major corporate headquarters and embassies, it’s also known for its historical significance, 文化景点, and picturesque views of Tokyo Harbor.
The agenda featured speakers from each ECC Scientific Subcommittee, 包括科学, 儿科重点小组, Education Science and Programs (ESP), 和护理系统. Each speaker’s goal was to further equip the instructors to teach in the classroom, 改善他们的临床护理, and increase survival through more effective local implementation.
凯蒂的, 博士学位, represented the Science Subcommittee and gave a presentation entitled “ECC Science Update” highlighting some of the recent publications related to 心肺复苏 and Emergency Cardiovascular Care. She also gave an overview of the ILCOR Continuous Evidence Evaluation Process and provided the participants with a deeper understanding of how scientific organizations measure strength and quality of evidence.
肯尼斯·纳瓦罗,硕士. Ed., presented on “Current Trends in Pediatric Resuscitation Care” on behalf of the Association’s 儿科重点小组. Mr. Navarro discussed the emerging science on chest compression technique as well as drug therapy in pediatric patients. For the prehospital participants, Mr. Navarro also outlined the current debate between treating patients on scene or transporting to the hospital and how the evidence has weighed into the discussion.
Beth Mancini, RN, 博士学位, introduced the topics from the AHA’s 2018 Scientific Statement: Educational Strategies to Improve Outcomes from Cardiac Arrest. She gave an overview of the gaps in education that impede the translation of science to effective care and gave exciting examples of innovations in healthcare education that can improve training and more effectively equip rescuers to perform high-quality 心肺复苏.
Keiichi Ikegami, 医学博士学位, an Association instructor and educational delivery expert, gave a presentation on classroom implementation of educational principles, highlighting key concepts of simulation and adult learning.
珍妮特Previdi, RN, 英里每小时, finished the day on a high note by discussing the importance of a systems approach to resuscitation care. Representing the Association’s Systems of Care Subcommittee, she demonstrated through compelling examples how the crucial step of localized implementation of scientific guidelines can make a profound difference in patient outcomes.
