ADVANCED CARDIAC LIFE SUPPORT
(ACLS)
The two-day ACLS course is designed to review, organize, and prioritize
the skills and didactic information needed to effectively manage
a cardiac arrest, events that may lead to a cardiac arrest and
events that follow a cardiac arrest utilizing the guidelines established
by the American Heart Association. Utilizing case based lecture
and group discussion, this course prepares the participant to
effectively manage the first ten minutes of a cardiac arrest.
Scenarios lead a single rescuer to a cardiac arrest victim that
must be managed, initially alone and then with the assistance
of other trained rescuers whom the initial rescuer must direct
in the resuscitation effort. If appropriate, following defibrillation,
the rescuer must manage other rhythms and manage the patient for
several minutes in the immediate postresuscitation period.
