Advanced Cardiac Life Support

Catalog description

Advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) emphasizes the importance of basic life support cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to patient survival, the integration of effective basic life support with advanced cardiovascular life support interventions, and the importance of effective team interaction and communication during resuscitation. Students engage in simulated clinical scenarios that encourage active, hands-on participation through learning stations where students will practice essential skills individually, as part of a team, and as team leader.
