Description The Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support Precourse work is designed for healthcare providers who participate in the management of cardiopulmonary arrest or other cardiovascular emergencies. This online course will provide educational modules that learners take to prepare for the ACLS classroom course. Through a series of videos and case scenarios, learners who complete this course will be eligible to take a shorter ACLS classroom course. The students will enhance their skills in the recognition of and intervention of cardiopulmonary arrest, immediate post arrest, acute dysrhythmia, stroke, and acute coronary syndromes.
Learning Objectives At the conclusion, participants should be able to:
1. Define systems of care 2. Apply the BLS, Primary, and Secondary Assessments sequence for a systematic evaluation of adult patients 3. Discuss how the use of a rapid response team (RRT) or medical emergency team (MET) may improve patient outcomes 4. Discuss early recognition and management of ACS, including appropriate disposition 5. Discuss early recognition and management of stroke, including appropriate disposition 6. Recognize bradycardias and tachycardias that may result in cardiac arrest or complicate resuscitation outcome 7. Perform early management of bradycardias and tachycardias that may result in cardiac arrest or complicate resuscitation outcome 8. Model effective communication as a member or leader of a high-performance team 9. Recognize the impact of team dynamics on overall team performance 10. Recognize respiratory arrest 11. Perform early management of respiratory arrest 12. Recognize cardiac arrest 13. Perform prompt, high-quality BLS including prioritizing early chest compressions and integrating early automated external defibrillator (AED) use 14. Perform early management of cardiac arrest until termination of resuscitation or transfer of care, including immediate post–cardiac arrest care 15. 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
