This course is based on basic vital life support skills (BLS), emphasizing the importance of continuous, high-quality CPR. This advanced course emphasizes the importance of high-performance team dynamics and communication, care systems, recognition, and intervention for cardiopulmonary failure, immediate cardiac arrest, acute dysrhythmia, stroke, and acute coronary syndromes.

Used for the initial ACLS course, update, and heartcode® ACLS skills session

Based on the class (instructor and video)

Skills are taught in classes in large groups and at training and testing stations in small groups, where case-based scenarios are presented.

Please note that since this tool is electronic, there are no separate additional tools (for example, reference cards, manuals); instead, all information is available electronically.

The e-book cannot be printed.

Evaluate resuscitation efforts during cardiac arrest through continuous CPR quality assessment, monitoring the patient’s physiological response, and providing real-time feedback to the team
