Course Overview

ACLS Provider Courses do not teach rhythm identification, pharmacology or algorithms. The American Heart Association requires the prospective student to be familiar enough prior to class with rhythm identification, medications used in resuscitation and ACLS algorithms and flowcharts to be able to apply them to clinical scenarios. This fast-paced, intensive 4-hour class prepares the prospective ACLS student to successfully complete the Provider Course.

State of the art simulation technology and extensive and up-to-date written materials, combined with our unique and common sense teaching approach, enables the participant to interpret basic dysrhythmias, and to understand cardiac electrophysiology and the medications most commonly used for adult resuscitation. We also provide an overview of the American Heart Association algorithms for ACLS.

Some of the Objectives Include:

1. Describe the cardiac electrical conduction system
2. Identify the components of the cardiac cycle
3. Describe the 5-step rapid interpretation method
4. Identify lethal and non-lethal dysrhythmias
5. Identify the adult core algorithms as published by the AHA
6. List the most important medications used in adult emergency resuscitation
7. Recognize the contraindications and most important side effects of ACLS medications

Who Should Attend:
1. Anyone taking ACLS for the first time
2. Anyone renewing ACLS who doesn't work with cardiac rhythms or lifesaving medications regularly
3. Anyone needing a review in basic ECG interpretation and/or pharmacology

The course fee is $50 for 4 Contact Hours and includes all Home Study Material
