ADVANCED CARDIOVASCULAR LIFE SUPPORT
Course Content
Course Description:
The American Heart Association's Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support course is
totally redesigned for healthcare providers who either direct or participate in the
resuscitation of a patient,whether in or out of hospital. Through the ACLS course,
providers will enhance their skills in the treatment of the adult victim of a cardiac
arrest or other cardiopulmonary emergencies. ACLS emphasizes the impotance of
basic life support CPR to patient suvival; the integration of effective basic life
support with advanced cardiovascular life support interventions; and the importance
of effective team interaction and communication during resuscitation.
ACLS is based on simulated clinical scenarios taht encouage active , hands-on
participation through learning stations where students will practice essential skills
individually, as part of a team, and as team leaders. Realistic simulatins reinforce
the following keys concepts: proficiency in basic life support care; recognizing and
initiating early management of Pre-Arrst conditions; managing cardiac arrest;
identifying and treating ischemic chest pain and cute coronary syndromes;
recognizing other life-threating clinical situations(such as stroke(such as stroke)
and providinf intial care; ACLS algorithms; and effective resuscitation team
dynamics.

Features & Benefits:
Healthcare providers will enhance their skills in the treatment of the adult victim of a
cardiac arrest or other cardiopulmonary emergencies.
ACLS emphasizes the importance of basic life support CPR to patient survival; the
integration of effective basic life support with advanced cardiovascular life support
interventions; and the importance of effective team interaction and communication
during resuscitation.
Students engage in simulated clinical scenarios that encourage active, hands-on
participation throughlearning stations where students will practice essential skills
individually, part of a team, and as team leader.
Realistic simulations reinforce the following key concepts:
Proficiency in basic life support care
Recognizing and initiating early management of peri-arrest condition
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 resuscitation team dynamics.
