Abstract
Learning to effectively treat cardiac emergencies is not an easy task. It is my opinion that mastery of material presented herein will ensure minimal competency. Finding practical experiences to help develop the necessary medical skills will require imagination and creativity. The following are offered as possible resources: 1. Attend the American Heart Association’s basis and advanced life support classes. (CPR training must be repeated at six-month intervals.) 2. Spend several days and/or nights in the emergency room at a local hospital observing (helping with) emergency care. 3. Spend time with a mobile coronary care unit if available in your community. 4. Watch and do venipunctures at the local blood bank or donor center. 5. Observe in the intensive care unit at a local hospital. 6. Assist an oral surgeon in preparing intravenous lines and monitor a patient during sedation. 7. Observe administration of oxygen by an anesthesiologist in the operating room at a local hospital.
