Mock Code Train-the-Trainer
What Is It?
Mock Code Train-the-Trainer is a program in which we teach staff from inpatient and ambulatory care areas how to run a mock code. At the end of our 90-minute class, the participants will be able to run a "first five minutes" mock code for staff in their area, focusing on:
Recognition of the code
Calling for additional help
Starting high-quality chest compressions
Using the Zoll R-series in AED mode or the Zoll AED3
Update Sessions
Update sessions are mandatory for previously-trained facilitators to continue to be in the Mock Code Train-the-Trainer program. It provides updates on how to safely run a mock code with the new Zoll monitor-defibrillators. Facilitators cannot run a mock code until after being in an Update session.
Our first batch of Update sessions are below. All sessions are in the Life Support Learning Center.
