Many dentists do not realize that taking a "generic" CPR course will not adequately prepare them to manage a medical emergency if one were to occur in their office. Join us for a wonderful course given by Heartsavers, Inc. which was founded by David B. Jacobson, BS, DMD.

Presentation by Heartsavers, Mr. Michael Kaliroff

Michael Kaliroff, American Heart Association certified teacher of basic cardiac life support and defibrillation.  Specializing in CPR and emergency medicine in dentistry.  Michael is also a member of the American Heart Association Council on Cardiopulmonary and Critical Care. He has presented to the NYSAGD and many other dental and medical organizations, as well as Day-Care Centers and Corporations.  His seminars are always well attended, no matter the location.

Course Goals and Objectives

Performing lifesaving techniques and choosing the appropriate medicine and equipment is far more challenging in the dental office than in other settings.  As healthcare professionals and doctors, you are held to a much higher standard of care.  In order to achieve this goal, dentists and their staff should take a course that combines CPR and emergency medicine in dentistry. Topics my course will cover are as follows:

Signs & Symptoms and Definitive Care

  •  Heart Attacks/CPR                                      Emergency Drug Kits

  • Stroke                                                           Medical history                                 

  • Anaphylactic reactions                              Blood Pressure

  • Mild and moderate allergic reactions       Legal aspects

  • Angina Pectoris                                          Standard of care

  • Seizures                                                       Positive pressure oxygen masks

  • Asthmatic Bronchospasm                         Dental chairs and operatory    

  • Syncope                                                      Emergency plans with role designation

  • Hyposlycemia                                             Drug overdose

In addition Heartsaver will give you information as to what is needed in your Emergencies Kit and what equipment you should have on-hand. There will also be a demonstration of the newest state of the Automatic External Defibrillator. CPR cards will be mailed directly to attendees from the American Heart Association.

Continental breakfast will be served.
