Recognizing And Managing Abnormal Breathing Instructor
Becoming an IPICD "Recognizing and Managing Abnormal Breathing Instructor" qualifies you to train colleagues about what action to take when they hear, "I can't breathe" and how to identify abnormal breathing cues.
Topics:
· Death In-Custody Reporting Act
· Breathing Equation
· Normal and Abnormal Breathing
· Asphyxia, Asphyxiation, and Signs of Abnormal Breathing
· Heart Attack v. Cardiac Arrest: The Basics
· Agonal Respirations
· Evidence-based Practices (includes First Responder Safety considerations)
· 9-1-1 and Call-Taker Training
· Much more
Following the tragic and high-profile deaths of George Floyd and Eric Garner that were captured on video, I can’t breathe became a rallying cry for many people, media pundits, world, and community leaders, including many law enforcement trainers and administrators to question law enforcement tactics and training. These and similar prone restraint-associated breathing deaths have become the basis for some state legislatures to enact criminal statutes attempting to hold involved law enforcement officers accountable for such deaths.
With few exceptions, whenever a person says (s)he is experiencing breathing difficulties or demonstrates abnormal breathing, this immediately transitions the individual into a “patient” who needs immediate medical intervention by qualified medical professionals. Rarely are law enforcement officers trained to recognize abnormal breathing issues in humans, and a response of, “If you’re talking, you’re breathing,” will only make matters worse.
This IPICD instructor program will help your governmental entity to minimize or avoid a “failure to train” and/or “negligent training” claim focused on whether or not it had provided breathing instruction to employees, while more importantly qualifying you to train colleagues, dispatchers, and others on how to recognize abnormal breathing, including agonal breathing.
Tuition: $195 per officer. Tuition includes 100-page lesson guide, Learner Companions (2), article reprints, instruction, online assessment, and certificate.
Instructors: Michael Curtis, M.D., A. David Berman, M.S., and/or John G. Peters, Jr., Ph.D.
