    Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS)

    • Advanced
    • 3 Days
    • classroom1Classroom
    Course Aims:
    • Managing an unresponsive patient can be complex and require further medical intervention. Life support is critical as it helps prevent the patient from dying because of oxygen deprivation. It is important to indicate the usage of different response methods if basic life support is not sufficient to resuscitate the patient. The ACLS course builds on the foundation of lifesaving BLS skills, emphasizing the importance of continuous, high-quality CPR to save the patient’s life and promote adequate medical intervention. The ACLS Instructor-led course teaches the importance of preventing cardiac arrest, high-performance teams, early and continuous high-quality CPR, systems of care, recognition, and intervention of cardiopulmonary arrest, post-cardiac arrest care, acute dysrhythmias, stroke, and acute coronary syndromes (ACS).
    Course Objectives:
    By the end of the course the student should be able to: 
    • Understand the prospects of Basic Life Support 
    • Understand how to assess an emergency and determine whether the patient, child or adult, requires Basic Life Support 
    • Understand the key components of basic airway management.
    • Indicate the devices needed to provide supplementary oxygen.
    • Indicate the bag-mask ventilation.
    • Understand the key components of advanced airway management.
    • Understand and indicate the different core electrocardiogram rhythms for Cardiac Arrest, Supraventricular Tachyarrhythmias, Ventricular Tachyarrhythmias, Sinus Bradycardia, and 
    • Understand and indicate the usage of the Automated External Defibrillator (AED) in Ventricular Fibrillation (VF).
    • Indicate the precautions for using the AED in the presence of the hairy chest, water, implemented pacemakers, and/or transdermal medication patches. 
    • Understand the precautions of using an AED safely and how to clear yourself and your team from harm. 
    • How to provide Intravenous Access when needed.
    • How to provide intravenous access when needed. 
    • Understand the process of providing Life Support for a patient with Acute Coronary Syndrome
    • Understand Human, Legal, and Ethical Issues regarding ACLS.
