Neurological Assessment Course
The Neurological Assessment course trains participants to perform a basic neurological examination as part of the initial medical evaluation. There are two primary goals of this program:
Provide first responders with the skills necessary to discover signs of acute neurological injury.
Minimize treatment delays through rapid activation of emergency medical services (EMS).
Half day (4hr) practical dry course most beneficial for divers and non-divers.
Course Objective
Stroke is the third-leading cause of death and the leading cause of long-term disability according to the American Heart Association. Decompression illness (DCI) can present as a neurological injury associated with scuba diving.
Rapid recognition of and response to a suspected neurological injury, regardless of cause, can help convince the injured person of the need for emergency oxygen and help the responder monitor the injured person's condition and report findings to emergency medical services (EMS).
Learning Objectives
The DAN Neurological Assessment course focuses on how to obtain essential information about an individual involved in a dive emergency or suspected of having a stroke and what information to relay to EMS.
You will learn about:
Nervous system overview
Stroke
Decompression illness
Neurological assessments
You will develop the following skills:
Making a F-A-S-T assessment
Taking a history
Monitoring vital signs
Assessing cranial nerve function
Determining mental function
Evaluating motor function
Assessing coordination and balance

Creating Confidence to Care
Emergency First Response is the fastest-growing international CPR, AED and first aid training organization. With more than 31,000 instructors worldwide, Emergency First Response is backed by 40 years of experience in the development and delivery of instructional courses, training materials and educational curricula. Emergency First Response courses have gained widespread international acceptance.
Emergency First Response’s course curricula are based on patient care standards as published in the American Heart Association Guidelines 2005 Standards for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care, and the consensus view of the Basic Life Support (BLS) Working Group of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR). ILCOR is an international standards group representing most of the world’s major resuscitation organizations.
Focused on training the lay rescuer, the Emergency First Response approach to training builds confidence in lay rescuers and increases their willingness to respond when faced with a medical emergency by teaching them the skills they need in a non-stressful learning environment. Participants are also given as much practice as necessary to master and retain these skills.
