Advanced Cardiac Life Support
Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) is the pre-eminent resuscitation course for the recognition and intervention of cardiopulmonary arrest or other cardiovascular emergencies. This advanced course builds on the foundation of basic life support (BLS) skills and takes healthcare provider training to the next level. Learners can expect practice and training in high-performance team dynamics and communication, systems of care, immediate post-cardiac arrest care, acute dysrhythmia, stroke, and acute coronary syndromes. Learn to become a practiced and strong member or lead an ACLS team with this important training program.
Teamwork, teamwork, teamwork
You’ll no longer be tested individually on your ability to lead a team, especially since many of you might never assume that position in your real-life healthcare role. You and other members of your team will pass – or fail – based on your team’s performance. The reason for the change is that, in a real-life situation, patient outcomes depend largely upon the performance of the entire team, not just one individual.
