Online Training (July 22–24, 2025): Theoretical Foundation

During the first three days, participants attended online training sessions via a digital platform, focusing on core BTCLS theoretical knowledge. Topics included:

• Legal and ethical aspects of emergency nursing,

• Fundamentals of trauma and cardiac arrest emergencies,

• Principles of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR),

• Airway, circulation, and bleeding management,

• Victim evacuation procedures,

• Emergency response team formation.

The online sessions not only strengthened the participants’ theoretical understanding but also encouraged interactive discussions between students, lecturers, and instructors from Medical Service Training 119.

In-Person Training (July 25–27, 2025): Clinical Practice Enhancement

From July 25 to 27, the training continued with in-person practical sessions held in the nursing laboratory and practice rooms of UNSURYA’s Faculty of Health Sciences. Under the close supervision of certified BTCLS instructors, participants practiced:

• CPR techniques,

• Bag-Valve-Mask (BVM) ventilation,

• Victim transfer techniques,

• Team-based emergency simulations.

These sessions provided realistic and valuable hands-on experiences, strengthening the participants’ readiness for real-life emergency situations.

Disaster and Code Blue Simulations

The highlight of the training was the Mass Casualty Disaster Simulation held on the final day. In this scenario, participants were challenged to:

• Perform victim triage using the START system (Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment),

• Form and coordinate an emergency response team,

• Simultaneously manage multiple trauma patients and critical cases.
