This is a 2 day Initial Provider A.C.L.S.  (Eligible for Renewals) class.  ACLS training is intended for healthcare providers who either direct or participate in the resuscitation of a patient, whether in the hospital or pre-hospital environment including: physicians, nurses, emergency medical technicians, paramedics, staff in intensive care units and emergency or critical care departments, other professionals who may respond to a cardiovascular emergency. You are only required to have a current Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers card for this class.  If you are taking this class as a "Renewal" class (your ACLS & BLS cards are current through the completion date of this course), "Renewal" students are required to attend the morning sessions of the first day (usually ending around 12:00pm).  You are welcomed and encouraged to join us for the afternoon sessions for your review as well as to share your valuable experiences with the class. Then you are required to attend all sessions of the second day.

The ACLS course builds on the foundation of lifesaving Basic Life Support (BLS) for Healthcare Providers skills, emphasizing the importance of continuous, high-quality CPR. This advanced course highlights the importance of team dynamics and communication, systems of care, and immediate post-cardiac arrest care. ACLS also covers airway management and related pharmacology.

Skills are taught in large-group sessions and small-group learning and testing stations where case-based scenarios are presented.

The ACLS course covers: ACLS algorithms, immediate post-cardiac-arrest care, airway management, rhythm recognition, high-quality CPR, 1-rescuer CPR AED, effective resuscitation team dynamics ,science overview (update course), BLS and ACLS surveys, ACS, Megacode treatment identification and initial care of other life-threatening clinical situations (such as stroke)

Students must pass all skills tests and a written exam in order to earn your ACLS Course Completion Card.

To be successful in any ACLS course, students should be able to identify ECG rhythms and should know pharmacology specific to cardiopulmonary arrest and other cardiopulmonary emergencies before beginning the course. The American Heart Association requires students to complete a precourse self-assessment prior to class.  It is strongly recommended that students review the ACLS course materials before starting the course.

Course length is approximately 16 hours for this Provider course, dependant on the number of participants and everyones individual preparation.

Course Text required for this course is the AHA 2020 Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) Provider Manual (Product # 20-1106,  ISBN: 978-1-61669-772-3)
