PRE-TEST
You are required to review the ACLS student manual prior to the course and also take the self assessment test. The self assessment test can be accessed through the internet as follows: www.heart.org/eccstudent (enter “acls15” when prompted for access).
Advanced Cardiac Life Support: Your ACLS renewal course will teach you clinical interventions for the urgent treatment of cardiac arrest, stroke, cardiac emergencies and other life threatening medical emergencies, as well as the knowledge and skills to deploy those interventions. Only qualified health care providers can provide ACLS, as it requires the ability to manage the patient’s airway, initiate IV access, read and interpret electrocardiograms, and understand emergency pharmacology.
Topics covered in the ACLS renewal course include:
I need the initial provider course (full two-day course). Do you offer that class?
At this time, RESQ offers the initial (provider) course online only with a skills check-off after completing part I. Instructor-led ACLS courses are the renewal course, not the first-time course.
