Advanced Cardiac Life Support

The ACLS course provides the knowledge and skills needed to evaluate and manage the first 10 minutes of an adult ventricular fibrillation/ventricular tachycardia (VF/VT) arrest.
ACLS is based on simulated clinical scenarios that encourage active, hands-on participation through learning stations at which students will practice essential skills individually, as part of a team, and as the team leader.
Realistic simulations reinforce the following key concepts:
· the importance of basic life support care for patient survival
· the integration of effective basic life support with advanced cardiovascular life support interventions
· 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
· effective team interaction and communication during resuscitation
The ACLS course covers:
· defibrillation · airway management · rhythm recognition · IV access | · use of medications · cardioversion · transcutaneous pacing · 1-rescuer CPR, AED |
ACLS training is intended for healthcare providers who either direct or participate in the resuscitation of a patient, whether in or out of the hospital, including:
· physicians · nurses · emergency medical technicians · paramedics | · respiratory therapists · staff in intensive care units and emergency or critical care departments · other professionals who may respond to a cardiovascular emergency |
Students must pass a written exam and skills test in order to qualify for an ACLS Course Completion Card.
Course length is approximately 13.5 hours. Part 1 (cognitive portion) can be taken in an instructor-led training session or on a self-directed basis as an online eLearning course. Students then practice their skills (Part 2) and are tested (Part 3) with a certified American Heart Association ACLS instructor.
Instructors: Richard Wilkinson
