What Is ACLS Training?
ACLS goes beyond basic life support (BLS) and focuses on advanced interventions for managing cardiac emergencies. This American Heart Association (AHA) course teaches a systematic approach to treating adult patients experiencing cardiovascular issues such as arrhythmias, acute coronary syndromes, and post-cardiac arrest care.
Key components of ACLS training include:
- Recognition and early intervention of respiratory and cardiac arrest
- Airway management techniques
- Electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation and recognition of arrhythmias
- Pharmacology for cardiovascular conditions
- Effective communication within a resuscitation team
- High-quality CPR and defibrillation skills
- Case-based simulations to reinforce decision-making
By the end of the course, you will have the confidence and competence to act swiftly and decisively in emergency scenarios.
