Course Overview: The American Heart Association (AHA) Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) Provider Course builds on the core skills taught in Basic Life Support (BLS) and focuses on advanced training for managing life-threatening cardiovascular emergencies. This course strongly emphasizes high-quality CPR, effective team performance, and evidence-based decision-making in high-pressure scenarios.

All course content reflects the latest science and recommendations, including the most current 2025 AHA Guidelines for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC).

What You Will Learn: By the end of this ACLS course, participants will be able to:

• Apply a systematic approach to patient assessment using BLS, ACLS, and Primary Assessment algorithms.
• Recognize and treat respiratory arrest and cardiac arrest emergencies.
• Identify and manage acute arrhythmias, including symptomatic bradycardia and tachycardia.
• Demonstrate effective advanced airway management techniques.
• Understand appropriate medication use and pharmacology during resuscitation.
• Recognize and manage stroke and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) using current ACLS guidelines.
• Lead or participate in high-performance resuscitation teams with clear communication and role coordination.
• Improve teamwork, leadership, and communication during real-world emergency scenarios.

Course Topics Include:

• Key updates and changes from the 2025 AHA ACLS Guidelines.
• High-quality CPR and effective team-based resuscitation.
• Cardiac arrest management, including defibrillation and post-cardiac arrest care.
• Airway management and ventilation strategies.
