Highlands Ranch Dentists take Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS)

Dr.James DeLapp, Dr. H. Candace DeLapp and Dr. Sarah Parsons took ACLS this past weekend. All of their Highlands Ranch dental staff have Basic Life Support (BLS) which deals with CPR and early fibrillation.  Advance Cardiac Life Support takes the the treatment of patients in cardiac stress to a more definitive treatment level. The course involves many elements not typically studies by dentists. This includes ECG (EKG) interpretation and the administration of drugs that can help patients,or anyone in the community who needs care.

Symptoms of Cardiac Problems

Knowing the symptoms of a heart attack is one of the most important things anyone can learn.  Symptoms can be mild and ignored and for some…. denial of the symptoms is an element.  The most typical symptom of cardiac problems is chest pain that radiates to the left arm and jaw. Understand that these are the most reported symptoms but pain can radiated to other areas.

Early Treatment a must

Our Highlands Ranch and Denver area dentists want our patients to get early evaluation.  Reperfusion treatment allows block arteries in the heart to get blood flowing back to the clogged area. The sooner the medical doctors can perform this therapy… the greater success long term success.

Please consider taking a CPR Course

Our opinion is to have EVERYONE take CPR course. The key to success is early CPR and defibrillation. As an example…Las Vegas Casinos have the greatest success in treating patients who have a heart attack. Those eyes in the sky and casino staff trained in CPR and early fibrillation make these areas an example for the rest of the country. Those interested should contact the Colorado CPR Association.
