The Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) Provider Course is designed for healthcare providers who either direct or participate in the resuscitation of a patient, whether in or out of hospital. The goal of the ACLS Provider Course is to improve the quality of care provided to the adult victim of a cardiac arrest or other cardiopulmonary emergency.
You will enhance your skills in the treatment of arrest and peri-arrest patients through active participation in a series of simulated cardiac and respiratory cases. These simulations are designed to reinforce important concepts, including
-
- The Basic Life Support (BLS) Primary Survey
- The ACLS Secondary Survey
- ACLS algorithms
- Effective resuscitation team dynamics
If taking the ACLS/BLS Combo session you will need to purchase and complete both the ACLS and BLS modules. The session is available the last hour and a half on the ACLS calendar.
The ACLS pre-course test is required and may be obtained by visiting https://elearning.heart.org/mycourse/launchcourse/26592499
