Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) for Healthcare Providers – Online With Skills Check
This Class Has Two Parts:
Part 1 – A self-paced series of online training modules (30 minutes – 2 hoursĀ based on experience)
Part 2 – Skills practice and testĀ (20 minutes – 1 hour)Ā at our facility with a VAM (voice assisted manikin). During the skills session an instructor will not be present but will be available by email or phone if needed. The computer and manikin will guide you through the skills session.
The American Heart AssociationĀ®Ā (AHA)Ā HeartCodeĀ®Ā programs deliver quality resuscitation training through a flexible delivery method that allows providers and administrators more control of their time, schedules and resources. HeartCode programs incorporate online learning and hands-on skills training, allowing learners to complete lessons on their own time.
HeartCode CompleteĀ®Ā offers the next step in resuscitation training with the use of the Simulation Station. HeartCode Complete allows learners to fully complete their AHA BLS, ACLS or PALS training at their own pace, with courses delivered through anyĀ learning management system or through RQI Partnersā own RQI 1Stop platform.
By combining comprehensive online learning with hands-on skills practice and testing, HeartCode Complete offers consistent, high-quality resuscitation training across a healthcare organization at a pace suited for every individual.
After completing both parts, students will receive an ACLS course completion card that is valid for two years.
Who should take this class?
ACLS is designed for healthcare professionals who either direct or participate in the management of cardiopulmonary arrest or other cardiovascular emergencies and for personnel in emergency response.
The American Heart Association strongly promotes knowledge and proficiency in all AHA courses and has developed instructional materials for this purpose. Use of these materials in an educational course does not represent course sponsorship by the AHA. Any fees charged for such a course, except for a portion of fees needed for AHA course materials, do not represent income to the AHA.
*If online course is purchased during non-business hours, online course will be sent the following business day (business hours are 9am-5pm, Monday-Friday).
Course Content
- After successfully completing this course, students should be able to
- Define systems of care
- Apply the BLS, Primary, and Secondary Assessments sequence for a systematic evaluation of adult patients
- Discuss how the use of a rapid response team (RRT) or medical emergency team (MET) may improve patient outcomes
- Discuss early recognition and management of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), including appropriate disposition
- Discuss early recognition and management of stroke, including appropriate disposition
- Recognize bradycardias and tachycardias that may result in cardiac arrest or complicate resuscitation outcome
- Perform early management of bradycardias and tachycardias that may result in cardiac arrest or complicate resuscitation outcome
- Model effective communication as a member or leader of a high-performance team
- Recognize the impact of team dynamics on overall team performance
- Recognize respiratory arrest
- Perform early management of respiratory arrest
- Recognize cardiac arrest
- Perform prompt, high-quality BLS including prioritizing early chest compressions and integrating early automated external defibrillator (AED) use
- Perform early management of cardiac arrest until termination of resuscitation or transfer of care, including immediate postācardiac arrest care
- Evaluate resuscitative efforts during a cardiac arrest through continuous assessment of CPR quality, monitoring the patientās physiologic response, and delivering real-time feedback to the team
Features
- Updated to reflect new science in the 2020 American Heart Association Guidelines for CPR & ECC
- HeartCode blended learning delivers quality resuscitation education regardless of where providers are located and gives them more control to complete the course at their own pace.
- Providers first complete the online portion of HeartCode ACLS and then complete a hands-on skills session with an AHA ACLS Instructor or on a simulation station.
Course Completion Card or Certificate
Upon successful course completion, including demonstration of skills competency in all learning stations and passing the CPR and AED skills test, bag-mask ventilation skills test, a Megacode test and a written test, students receive an ACLS course completion card, valid for two years.
