The goal of the ACLS provider and renewal courses are to improve outcomes for adult patients in cardiac arrest and other cardiopulmonary emergencies through early recognition and interventions by high performance teams based on the standards of the American Heart Association.
The course/s has the following objectives:
- Application of the concepts of systematic evaluation of an adult patient which includes initial, primary and secondary assessment
- Application of early recognition and management of a patient with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or stroke.
- Recognition and management of bradyarrhythmias and tachyarrhythmias
- Recognition and management of cardiac arrest including adult basic life support and post cardiac arrest care management
Prerequisites
- All registrants must be healthcare providers who direct or participate in the resuscitation of patients either in or out of hospital setting
- As part of preparation for the course, participants are issued a provider manual and expected to prepare prior to attendance in the course
- Complete a precourse work assignment made up of self-assessment and precourse work videos through the AHA E-learning website. Participants will be given further instructions related to this requirement upon registration.
Note: Participants who have not taken the ACLS course or with expired ACLS cards will have to take the two-day provider course. Participants who work in less acute units or low volume locations are recommended (but not required) to take a 2-day provider class for renewal.
