ForwardAdvanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS-R) One-day Renewal Course
The Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) One-Day Renewal Course is for physicians with a current ACLS completion card. This class requires the completion of the American Heart Association’s ACLS Precourse Self-Assessment and Precourse Work. The course includes 4 hours of skills practice and assessment in a classroom environment with social distancing and PPE. Baptist Health is an authorized American Heart Association (AHA) provider.
In this course you will enhance your skills in the treatment of arrest and peri-arrest patients through active participation in a series of simulated cardiopulmonary cases. These simulations are designed to reinforce important concepts, including but not limited to:
• Identification and treatment of medical conditions that place the patient at risk for cardiac arrest
• The Basic Life Support (BLS) Primary Survey
• The ACLS Secondary Survey
• ACLS algorithms
• Effective resuscitation team dynamics

Target Audience
The AHA developed the ACLS Provider Course for "currently active" healthcare providers (e.g., medical, nursing, emergency medical or allied health personnel) whose daily occupation or volunteer activities demand proficiency in the knowledge and skills of ACLS. A current provider card is required for the renewal course.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this conference, participants should be better able to:
- Recognize and initiate early management of peri-arrest conditions that may result in cardiac arrest or complicate resuscitation outcome.
- Demonstrate proficiency in providing BLS care, including prioritizing chest compressions and integrating Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) use.
- Manage cardiac arrest until return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), termination of resuscitation or transfer of care.
- Identify and treat ischemic chest pain and expedite the care of patients with acute coronary syndrome.
- Recognize other life-threatening clinical situations, such as stroke, and provide effective initial care and transfer to reduce disability and death.
- Demonstrate effective communication as a member or leader of a resuscitation team and recognize the impact of team dynamics on overall team performance.
