Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) Recertification Course (Jun 01, 2021 - May 31, 2023)

Early recognition, early access, early CPR, and early defibrillation are all needed to maximize survival. Survival may be further improved by high-quality advanced life support capable of performing advanced interventions, such as advanced airway management, vascular access, and medication administration. Advanced life support is also needed to provide effective post-arrest care, support oxygenation, ventilation, and circulation for the post-arrest patient.,Educational Objectives:,After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:,Realize that Advanced Cardiac Life Support focuses on basic and advanced treatment of cardiac emergencies and stroke and is part of an overall system to improve survival. Understand that to maximize survival each component of the system must work effectively including:,• Early recognition of arrest and identification of basic EKG rhythms,• Early activation of the emergency response system,• Ability to recognize bradyarrhythmias and tachyarrhythmias that may result in cardiac arrest and their appropriate treatments,• Early CPR,• Early Defibrillation,• High-quality advanced life support with ongoing assessment of CPR quality, monitoring patient’s response to treatment, and delivering feedback to the resuscitation team,• Effective post-arrest care
