ILS Training
ILS training (or an equivalent life support training) is an important cornerstone of IV sedation in dental practice. It sits somewhere between Basic Life Support and Advance Life Support. It is focused on getting better outcomes in medical emergencies, improved recognition of the deteriorating patient, and better information transfer to paramedic teams.
However, ILS courses cover all healthcare settings, which means they can be generic and include a lot of information which is not relevant to medical emergencies in dental practice.
The following is a list of providers who tailor ILS courses to dental settings.

In house ILS training for the whole team with Craig Nelson.
Ideal for larger groups
ILS training is mandatory to comply with IACSD 2020 for all dental staff in the room with a sedated patient.
It is an excellent and worthwhile extension to standard BLS training.
