AHA ACLS Training

The American Heart Association (AHA) is offering Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) courses in Bengaluru. The AHA’s ACLS course is the pre-eminent resuscitation course for recognizing and intervening in cardiopulmonary arrest or other cardiovascular emergencies.

Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) builds on Basic Life Support (BLS) foundation, emphasizing the importance of continuous, high-quality CPR. The hands-on instruction and simulated cases in this advanced course are designed to help enhance their skills in recognizing and intervening in cardiopulmonary arrest, immediate post-cardiac arrest, acute arrhythmia, stroke, and acute coronary syndromes. Learn to become a practiced and strong member or lead an ACLS team with this important training program.

Course objectives

At the end of the course, the students will be able to:

• Apply the BLS, Primary, and Secondary Assessments sequence for a systematic evaluation of adult patients.

• Perform prompt, high-quality BLS, including prioritizing early chest compressions and integrating early automated external defibrillator (AED) use.

• Recognize and perform early management of respiratory arrest.

• Discuss early recognition and management of ACS and stroke, including appropriate disposition.

• Recognize and perform early management of bradyarrhythmias and tachyarrhythmias that may result in cardiac arrest or complicate resuscitation outcome.

• Recognize and perform early management of cardiac arrest until termination of resuscitation or transfer of care, including immediate post-cardiac arrest care

• Model effective communication as a member or leader of a high-performance team

• Evaluate resuscitative efforts during a cardiac arrest through continuous assessment of CPR quality, monitoring the patient’s physiologic response, and delivering real-time feedback to the team.

• Recognize the impact of team dynamics on overall team performance.

• Discuss how the use of a rapid response team or medical emergency team may improve patient outcomes.

• Define systems of care
