ABLS Registration and Pre-Test

The eight-hour ABLS course focuses on teaching medical professionals  especially those in first-responder roles  to provide better primary treatment for burn patients, associated injuries, and common complications at the scene and within the first 24 hours after a burn injury. Developed by the American Burn Association, the ABLS can provide educational credit hours to physicians, nurses, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, therapists, paramedics, and others. Among the course objectives, according to the American Burn Association:

•  Evaluate a patient with a serious burn
•  Define the magnitude and severity of the injury
•  Identify and establish priorities of treatment
•  Manage the airway and support ventilation
•  Initiate and monitor fluid resuscitation
•  Apply correct methods of physiological monitoring
•  Determine which patients should be transferred to a burn center
•  Organize and conduct the inter-hospital transfer of a seriously injured burn patient
