ACLS – Advanced Cardiac Life Support
Duration: 8 Hour Course
Cost: $125.00
The American Heart Association Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) course trains healthcare providers that have clinical responsibilities in critical care areas to recognize cardiac emergencies and provide advanced life support interventions.
ACLS emphasizes the importance of basic life support for patient survival including the integration of effective basic life support with advanced cardiovascular life support interventions and the importance of effective team interaction and communication during resuscitation.
ACLS is based on simulated clinical scenarios that encourage active, hands-on participation through learning stations where students will practice essential skills individually, as part of a team, and as team leader. Realistic simulations reinforce the following key concepts: proficiency in basic life support care; recognizing and initiating early management of peri-arrest conditions; managing cardiac arrest; identifying and treating ischemic chest pain and acute coronary syndromes; recognizing other life-threatening clinical situations (such as stroke) and providing initial care; ACLS algorithms; and effective resuscitation team dynamics.
