Advanced Cardiac Life Support ACLS is a course designed to provide health care providers the knowledge and skills needed to implement advanced cardiac life support. Successful completion of a Healthcare Provider BLS course within the last 24 months is required. A basic EKG interpretation class is recommended prior to the ACLS course. Class duration: 2 days. Register early Course Objectives: Perform and manage the first ten minutes of a witnessed, adult, ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrest. Perform the primary "ABCD" Survey of the cardiac patient including: early access, early CPR, airway management, use of the automatic external defibrillator and conventional defibrillator. Perform secondary "ABCD" survey of the cardiac patient including: More definitive skills in airway breathing and circulation with endotracheal intubation, proper ventilation techniques, initiation of IV, use of pharmacological agents, recognition of arrhythmias, and the use of resuscitation algorithms in cardiac arrest management. Describe patient management in the post-resuscitation period. Participate in the assessment and team management of the ten core cases of ACLS: Respiratory Arrest, Pulseless Ventricular Fibrillation/Tachycardia with AED, Ventricular Fibrillation/Tachycardia Refractory to Initial Defibrillation, Pulseless Electrical Activity, Asystole, Acute Myocardial Infarction, Bradycardia, Stable Tachycardia, Unstable Tachycardia, and Strokes. Integrate the AED with adult CPR skills. Successful completion of this course includes 84% or more on the written examination and verification of skills in 10 cases and CPR/AED. Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) Recertification is generally done in concurrence with ongoing ACLS courses and is one day long. Upon successful completion, students will receive an ACLS Letter of Completion. A card will be promptly mailed to you.
