NEW ACLS with BLS FOR HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS RENEWAL

ACLS Precourse Self-Assessment and Video Prework

Prime CPR Services teaches the AHA NEW ACLS and BLS RENEWAL course in a calm and laid-back learning environment. It incorporates the most up-to-date guidelines from the American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care. This course is specifically tailored for healthcare professionals working in emergency departments, intensive care units, critical care departments, surgical areas, or pre-hospital environments, including physicians, nurses, paramedics, respiratory therapists, and other responders to cardiovascular emergencies. We will explain everything in a simple and memorable way, making understanding and retention effortless. The course is taught by experienced instructors who will guide participants through realistic scenarios, allowing them to practice and refine their skills. By the end of the course, participants will be able to effectively manage cardiac emergencies and provide basic life support techniques.

NEW ACLS relies on lifelike simulations that strengthen the core principles, including:

• BLS Review:

  Basic Life Support (BLS) skills are reviewed. High-quality CPR for adults, children, and infants, use of a Bag Valve Mask (BVM), use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED), and relief of choking.

• Systematic Approach:

  Assessment, Identification of rhythms, and appropriate interventions. Effective team dynamics, Roles and Responsibilities during a resuscitation, Management of a patient in cardiac arrest or other cardiovascular emergencies.

• Airway Management:

  The class covers airway management techniques, including endotracheal intubation and use of supraglottic airways.

• Acute Coronary Syndromes and Stroke:

  Information on the management of Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS) and stroke, including assessment and initial interventions.

• Rhythm Recognition:

  Ventricular Fibrillation (VF) and Pulseless Ventricular Tachycardia (VT), as well as non-shockable rhythms like Asystole and Pulseless Electrical Activity (PEA). Sinus Bradycardia, and Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT).

• Electrical Therapy:

  Defibrillation, Cardioversion, and Pacing.

• Pharmacology:

  Indications, Dosages, and Administration routes of Atropine, Amiodarone, Adenosine, Epinephrine, and Dopamine.

• Resuscitation Scenarios:

  Hands-on practice for scenarios for Sinus Bradycardia, Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT), Ventricular Tachycardia with Pulses (VT), Ventricular Tachycardia without Pulses (VT), Ventricular Fibrillation (VF), Asystole, and Pulseless Electrical Activity (PEA).

• Post-Cardiac Arrest Care:

  Critical care following Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC), including targeted temperature management and other post-cardiac arrest interventions.
