1 Before Training Starts
As a trainer, you will be teaching other medical personnel how to use the Lifeline ARM
effectively in a real-life rescue situation. This helpful guide has all the information and practical
pointers you’ll need to prepare students to:
•
Deploy the Lifeline ARM to administer automated chest compressions with minimal
interruption to manual CPR
•
Adjust the Lifeline ARM to provide effective compressions at a consistent rate and depth
•
Maintain and store the Lifeline ARM so it will be ready for future use
The course is conducted in two parts:
1.
A group session in which the trainer will go over the written information in this guide
2.
Practice groups to provide high-quality, hands-on training and evaluation
A crucial part of the learning process, the hands-on training and practice sessions allow
students to watch and learn from their peers, receive instant feedback on how well they are
performing, and hone their skills before putting them to use in a real-life rescue.
After these training sessions, your students should also be able to pass on the knowledge
and expertise they learn from you.
As the leader of the training, be sure to refer to the User Manual for complete directions,
indications, contraindications, side effects, training requirements, dangers, warnings, cautions,
troubleshooting, maintenance, and technical specifications.
Remember it is the responsibility of all students/operators to read the User Manual
before operating the Lifeline ARM.
Getting Ready
In addition to the basics of how to operate and maintain the Lifeline ARM, this guide includes
information on how to successfully conduct your training sessions.
Each training section begins with specific information
For the Trainer
, which you should
review before each session. At the start of each Course Content section, you’ll see a checklist
of
Key Concepts
that summarizes the material your students should master. Refer to this
checklist to stay focused on the essential elements during the actual training. You’ll also see
Trainer Tips
— helpful hints and notes related to that particular section of the training.
Your training sessions will go much more smoothly when you are well prepared. Knowing
who you will be teaching, where and how the sessions will be held, and having all materials
ready to go are key to effective training.
