ACLS Training - Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support Training Course
AHA ACLS Training Course Overview
What is Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support Training?
The Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support or the ACLS Training Course is designed for healthcare providers who either direct or participate in the management of cardiopulmonary arrest or other cardiovascular emergencies.
Through didactic instruction and active participation in simulated cases, students will enhance their skills in the recognition and intervention of cardiopulmonary arrest, immediate post-cardiac arrest, acute dysrhythmia, stroke, and acute coronary syndromes (ACS).
The goal of the ACLS Training course is to improve outcomes for adult patients of cardiopulmonary arrest and other cardiovascular emergencies through early recognition and interventions by high-performance teams.
Who Should Take the ACLS Training?
ACLS training, which stands for Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support training, is highly recommended for healthcare professionals who are involved in emergency patient care.
This includes doctors, nurses, paramedics, emergency medical technicians, and other healthcare providers who work in critical care areas, such as intensive care units, emergency departments, and cardiology departments.
What are the Benefits of Taking ACLS Training?
ACLS training is a valuable skillset for healthcare professionals dealing with critical care situations and cardiac issues.
Benefits include identifying and managing life-threatening conditions, performing high-quality CPR, administering medications, and improving leadership and communication skills.
Employers prefer ACLS-certified individuals, which can lead to better career opportunities and patient outcomes.
ACLS Training Course Learning Objectives
After successfully completing the ACLS Training Course, you should be able to:
- Define systems of care
- Apply the Basic Life Support (BLS) Assessment, Primary Assessment and Secondary Assessment sequences for systemic evaluation of adult patients
- Discuss how using rapid response teams (RRTs) or medical emergency teams (METs) may improve patient outcomes
- Discuss early recognition and management of ACS, including appropriate disposition
- Discuss early recognition and management of stroke, including appropriate disposition
- Recognize bradycardia and tachycardia that may result in cardiac arrest or complicate resuscitation outcome
- Perform early management of bradycardia and tachycardia that may result in cardiac arrest or complicate resuscitation outcome
- Model effective communication as a member or leader of a high-performance team
- Recognize the impact of team dynamics on overall team performance
- Recognize respiratory arrest
- Perform early management of respiratory arrest
- Recognize cardiac arrest
- Perform prompt, high-quality BLS, which includes prioritizing early chest compressions and integrating early automated external defibrillator (AED) use
- Perform early management of cardiac arrest until termination of resuscitation or transfer of care, including immediate post-cardiac arrest care
- Evaluate resuscitative efforts during cardiac arrest by continually assessing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) quality, monitoring the patient’s physiologic response, and delivering real-time feedback to the team.
AHA ACLS Certification
The American Heart Association’s Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) Certification program is designed to equip healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to handle cardiovascular emergencies.
Participants will receive hands-on training, practice scenarios, and feedback to help them master the life-saving techniques that are crucial in saving lives.
Upon completion of the program, participants will receive the AHA ACLS certification, which is recognized as a standard of medical excellence. An ACLS certification is valid for two years
