American Heart Association Curriculum
Skamania EMS & Rescue utilizes the American Heart Association (AHA) curriculum. The AHA teaches first aid, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or advanced life saving courses which form the foundation of lifesaving protocols used by healthcare professionals, companies and hospitals, and the general public.
We utilize American Heart Association curriculum for First Aid/CPR, Basic Life Support, ACLS and PALS courses. Our agency, Skamania EMS & Rescue (the training site) is aligned with Cascade Training (the training center) in Portland, Oregon 97239.
Skamania EMS & Rescue Curriculum
Skamania EMS & Rescue utilizes inhouse curriculum related to Blood Borne Pathogens and Naloxone Administration courses. These courses are developed using best practices and provider input to ensure students leave class with the most current information and quality skills. Blood Borne Pathogens and Narcan Administration courses are available as a stand alone program, or may be offered as an ‘add-on’ following completion of First Aid/CPR courses.
ACLS
Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support courses are designed for healthcare providers. ACLS is an advanced course that builds on the foundation of lifesaving BLS skills, emphasizing continuous, high-quality CPR and high-performance team dynamics. Skamania EMS & Rescue utilizes curriculum from the American Heart Association.

Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) uses a series of videos and simulated pediatric emergencies to reinforce the important concepts of a systematic approach to pediatric assessment, basic life support, PALS treatment algorithms, effective resuscitation, and team dynamics.
