Optional Workshop – ELC Day 1

Emergency Life Care (ELC) Course

The Emergency life care course is a modular 2 day course that provides an approach to the management of acutely ill patients.

Based  on the Australian Emergency Life Support course , it provides a practical reproducible approach termed the “Blue Print” to the management of acutely ill patients in an emergency , ward based  or primary care setting .

Using lectures and skills stations with trained ELS instructors , the course covers initial approach, chest pain , seizures, shortness of breath, envenomation and toxicology tailored to the Sri Lankan environment.

Skill stations include airway management, management of cardiac and vascular emergencies, an approach to ECG and CXR’s and an approach to a sick child.

At the end of the course you will be able to demonstrate the “Blue Print” approach to an undifferentiated sick patient  and initiate time critical interventions.
