On August 30, 2026, our healthcare professionals – physicians, nurses, and technicians – attended an ICLS course.
This was the second of two days of resuscitation training, following the Basic Life Support (BLS) session held the previous day.
About the ICLS Course
The ICLS course is a cardiopulmonary resuscitation training course for healthcare professionals, aimed at acquiring the appropriate team resuscitation skills for the first 10 minutes of a sudden cardiac arrest.
Where BLS covers what a single person present can start on the spot, ICLS assumes that physicians, nurses, and technicians each take a role and work as a team.
Reading the ECG, judging whether defibrillation is indicated, securing the airway, preparing and administering drugs – these are put together within the same division of roles as in a real setting.
In a cardiac arrest, the outcome turns not only on whether each person performs correctly, but on whether the team shares who is responsible for what and what comes next.
ICLS places its emphasis on exactly that: how a team moves together.
What the Session Covered
The lecture covered procedures such as the Primary ABCD Survey, used to assess a patient’s condition quickly.
Participants were divided into small groups and repeated simulation exercises, training both the techniques required for resuscitation and team-based care at the scene.
The exercises were held in an actual treatment room, using a monitor and a defibrillator to work through the whole sequence: noticing the deterioration, calling for help, and dividing roles to carry the resuscitation forward.
Part of How We Operate Safely
We treat building an emergency-response system as one of our safety measures, so that you can receive treatment with peace of mind.
Having every staff member share a common procedure, and having our medical staff able to move as a team, is preparation we consider as important as daily practice itself.
We will continue to hold this training on a regular basis.
