Course Content
The AHA Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support Course (ACLS) Provider Course is intended for healthcare workers who direct or participate during the resuscitation of a patient. The course emphasizes the importance of good CPR to patient survival, the integration of effective basic life support with advanced cardiovascular life support interventions, and the importance of effective team interaction and communications during resuscitation.

• Recognition and early management of respiratory and cardiac arrest
• Airway Management
• ACLS Pharmacology
• Basic Life Support (BLS) review
• Management of acute coronary syndromes and stroke
• How to be both a leader and a team member in a resuscitation team

BLS Provider Add-On
The BLS Provider Class may be added-on to the ACLS Provider class during your registration process. This allows you to get both AHA eCards the same day while only completing the additional BLS Provider material not covered in the ACLS Class--BLS written exam and Infant skills testing. A good bargain.

No CEs issued by The CPR Lady Training Center for BLS Provider Add-On.

Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support Prep: ECG
The ACLS Prep: ECG may be added to the ACLS Traditional Course during registration process. The ACLS Prep: ECG Online Course is a self-directed eLearning course designed for Students preparing to take an ACLS Course.
