Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) Provider Course

Intended Audience:
The course is designed for medical providers such as physicians, nurses, medical students, residents, paramedics, respiratory therapists, and other health care professionals who may respond to cardiovascular emergencies.

Course Description:
The ACLS course will enhance skills in the treatment of the adult victim of a cardiac arrest or other cardiopulmonary emergencies. ACLS emphasizes the importance of basic life support CPR to patient survival; 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. You must have the latest Provider manual to attend class.To order your book, or the ECC handbook, on-line we recommend:
