Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS)

The American Safety and Health Institute's ACLS course is specially designed for health care providers who direct or participate in the resuscitation of patients, in or out of the hospital.

Through the course, providers enhance their skills in treating adult victims of cardiac arrest or other cardiopulmonary emergencies.

ACLS emphasizes the importance of:

Basic life support CPR to patient survival
Integrating effective basic life support with advanced cardiovascular life support interventions
Effective team interaction and communication during resuscitation

ACLS is based on simulated clinical scenarios that encourage active, hands-on participation through learning stations. Students practice essential skills individually, as part of a team and as team leader.

Realistic simulations reinforce these key concepts:

Proficiency in basic life support care
Recognizing and initiating early management of peri-arrest conditions
Managing cardiac arrest
Identifying and treating ischemic chest pain and acute coronary syndromes
Recognizing other life-threatening clinical situations (such as stroke) and providing initial care
ACLS algorithms
Effective resuscitation team dynamics
