This a 6 hour classroom course.
The American Heart Association Advanced Cardiac Life Support Renewal class includes watching the ACLS Update video and hands on learning stations for CPR, AED, respiratory and cardiac arrest, ACLS algorithms, drugs, rhythm recognition, and using advanced airway devices.
Advanced Cardiac Life Support is designed for healthcare providers who conduct or participates in resuscitation of patients in hospital, medical offices, or in settings where conscious sedation is administered and have previously taken this course in the last two years.
It covers identification and treatment of patients with medical conditions who are at risk for cardiac arrest, primary and secondary assessment survey and actions needed, algorithms for treatment of emergency situations and effective resuscitation team dynamics.
Although arrhythmia recognition will be reviewed, it is expected that the participant will have a working knowledge of EKG rhythms. Practice with defibrillators and external pacemaker is included.
Assessment and care for the patient experiencing an Acute Coronary Syndrome or Stroke will be included in this course. We structure this class to meet all of the AHA guidelines and requirements.
All scenarios are designed for the work place of the individual participant. Our goal is that each participant will feel comfortable in handling life threatening emergencies in their own setting. Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) also teaches management of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and stroke, the management of respiratory and cardiac arrest, CPR, effective chest compressions and ventilation with a bag mask device (BVM) and the use of an AED. We will review the steps to cardiovert, defibrilate and perform external pacing. You will practice hands on techniques and participate in the learning stations before taking the written exam and the hands on skills testing portion of the class. In this course, skills are taught in large, group sessions and small, group learning and testing stations where case-based scenarios are presented. At the end of the class you will take a written test of 50 questions and successfully perform as a team leader in a case scenario. Skills to be practiced during the course include:

And, if you want to take the online course at www.elearning.heart.org you can do the online course and then just come in for the in-person hands on practice and testing session. There are two separate fees, and this is the most expensive way to go, so do a little research first. The classroom courses are much cheaper.

Best class ever! I learned more here than I have the last 6 times I have taken the class. Excellent instruction! I will definitely be sending my coworkers!
Great course
Best Acls renewal course I’ve taken in years. The instructor was amazing with knowledge and entertainment.
This is the place to come to renew your acls. I drive to co springs from Denver just to come to this facility. Great vibe and they aren't out to make it a miserable day for you.
Fantastic course! Nelson is an amazing instructor! I learned more from this course than I have in the last 1o years! He made everything seem so simple and helped us remember.
Great course. Great instructor.
Instructor was very knowledgeable with lots of real world experience. He was one of the few that explained the "why' behind what we do.
I had so many "light bulb" moments where things just clicked! I've taken several ACLS courses before and this is the first one where the "why" was explained.
I enjoyed my ACLS renewal class. The instructor was organized, knowledgeable and helped me understand and apply the material.
