  • Updated to reflect new science in the 2020 American Heart Association Guidelines for CPR & ECC, as well as the 2019 Update to the 2018 ASA Ischemic Stroke Guidelines
  • This course is designed for healthcare professionals who direct or manage cardiopulmonary arrest or other cardiovascular emergencies; personnel in emergency response, emergency medicine, intensive care, and critical care units; physicians, nurses, and paramedics; and others who need an ACLS course completion card for job or other requirements
  • This manual includes the systematic approach to a cardiopulmonary emergency, effective team communication, and the ACLS cases and algorithms.
  •  Includes the ACLS Reference Card Set (#20-1120; also sold separately).

ACLS Renewal

  • Review of ACLS algorithms:

    This includes the latest guidelines for managing cardiac arrest, stroke, acute coronary syndromes, and other cardiovascular emergencies.
  • Recognition and treatment of life-threatening arrhythmias:

    Participants learn to identify and manage various cardiac rhythms, including ventricular fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, pulseless electrical activity, and asystole.
  • Pharmacology:

    Training on the administration and dosage of ACLS medications, such as epinephrine, amiodarone, and vasopressors.
  • Team dynamics and communication:

    Emphasis on effective teamwork, leadership, and communication skills during resuscitation scenarios.
  • ACLS case scenarios:

    Practical application of ACLS algorithms through simulated scenarios to enhance decision-making and critical thinking skills.

Course content: 

After completing the course, students should be able to:
  • Define systems of care
  • Apply the BLS, Primary, and Secondary Assessments sequence for a systematic evaluation of adult patients
  • Discuss how the use of a rapid response team (RRT) or medical emergency team (MET) may improve patient outcomes
  • Discuss how the use of a rapid response team (RRT) or medical emergency team (MET) may improve patient outcomes
  • Discuss early recognition and management of ACS, including appropriate disposition
  • Discuss early recognition and management of stroke, including appropriate disposition
  • Recognize bradycardias and tachycardias that may result in cardiac arrest or complicate resuscitation outcome
  • Perform early management of bradycardias and tachycardias that may result in cardiac arrest or complicate resuscitation outcome
  • Model effective communication as a member or leader of a high-performance team
  • Recognize the impact of team dynamics on overall team performance
  • Recognize respiratory arrest
  • Perform early management of respiratory arrest
  • Recognize cardiac arrest
  • Perform prompt, high-quality BLS including prioritizing early chest compressions and integrating early automated external defibrillator (AED) use
  • Perform early management of cardiac arrest until termination of resuscitation or transfer of care, including immediate post–cardiac arrest care
  • 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
