ACLS
Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS)
We offer ACLS to all levels of advanced providers including Physicians, Registered Nurses, Paramedic, CRNA's, Pharmacists and other health professions. Upon completion of the ACLS Provider Course, a successful learner will know how to approach cardio-respiratory emergencies using the systematic ACLS Approach. Properly trained resuscitation team members will have the skill necessary to manage the adult cardiac arrest patient and minimize the confusion and chaos that sometimes occurs during medical emergencies. Learning and practicing the ACLS Approach helps learners feel more comfortable about individual roles and about facing future resuscitation challenges.
This course includes lectures and skills in the following areas:
- Endotracheal intubation
- Dual Lumen airway device
- Review of ECG interpretations
- Arrest and Pre-Arrest treatments
- Team approach to treatments

The HeartCode ACLS provides an alternative training solution for the busy professional. It’s the only e-Learning system where a successful outcome results in an AHA course completion card.
This self-directed ACLS learning program allows participants to practice techniques at their own pace and to receive feedback and evaluation of their skills in the comfort of their own home and at times that are convenient to them. This new program includes all AHA guidelines and updates for ACLS.
The software also contains accredited continuing education modules for the experienced healthcare provider.
Participants purchase a keycode to use on the American Heart Associaton's e-learning website. They then have 32 hours (non-continuous) to complete the ACLS cases and a written test. After successful completion of the written exam, a certificate is printed. Participants then call to set up an appointment for a practical skills test. The skills test takes an average of 30-45 minutes.
