ACLS Provider Course
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 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.
ACLS is based on simulated clinical scenarios that encourage active, hands-on participation
through learning stations where students will practice essential skills individually, as 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 conditions; 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; and effective resuscitation team
dynamics.
Course Length: 13½ hours approx., including breaks
Intended Audience
The course is designed for medical providers such as physicians, nurses, emergency
medical technicians, paramedics, respiratory therapists, and other professionals who may
respond to a cardiovascular emergency.
