When a medical emergency happens, make sure your team is ready.
Would you know how to use the equipment in your office to respond to a patient experiencing a medical crisis?
Our AHA certified emergency trainers will teach you the essential skills to respond to respiratory failure, airway obstruction, cardiac problems and anaphylaxis in your office. Learn to confidently use a state-of-the-art AED, receive hands-on experience using advanced airway management equipment and be prepared to run a Megacode emergency.
Trainers will walk team members through a step-by-step process for office set-up, emergency equipment operation, practice drills, and code training. Team members gain firsthand experience and training in how to prepare and maintain the office and equipment, support the dentist during an emergency, and work together to obtain the best results.
