ACLS

This course is designed for healthcare providers who conduct or participate in resuscitation of patients in a hospital, medical offices, or in settings where conscious sedation is administered.

It covers identification and treatment of patients with medical conditions who are at risk for cardiac arrest. Primary and secondary assessment survey and actions needed, algorithms for treatment of emergency situations, and effective resuscitation team dynamics.

Arrhythmia recognition is reviewed but it is expected that the student will have a working knowledge of EKG rhythms. Practice with defibrillators and external pacemaker is included. The assessment and care of a patient experiencing an acute coronary syndrome or stroke is also included.

All formats are taught by American Heart Association (AHA) certified instructors and follow the AHA guidelines for the course.
