ACLS Initial Certification (Blended eLearning + a hands-on skills session training)
PURPOSE:
Heartcode ACLS Online training is the most high tech, official American Heart Association (AHA) Self-Directed Comprehensive eLearning Program. It allows students to take the ACLS course on a computer, instead of attending a traditional, classroom setting. By using simulation technology and scenario-based learning, studies have shown this to be very effective. However, it MUST be completed with a hands-on skills session.
COURSE CONTENT:
- Basic life support skills, including effective chest compressions, use of a bag-mask device, and use of an AED
- Recognition and early management of respiratory and cardiac arrest
- Recognition and early management of peri-arrest conditions such as symptomatic bradycardia
- Airway management
- Related pharmacology
- Management of ACS and stroke
- Effective communication as a member and leader of a resuscitation team
Who should take this course? Those in need of INITIAL Certification or those with EXPIRED certification.
Please Note for HeartCode Online Training (Blended eLearning): By taking the AHA Online ACLS class, you will receive the same ACLS Provider completion card as you would taking the traditional class. However, you will need to complete a hands-on skills session after the online class.
