Successfully complete this online course on ACLS to receive your Advanced Cardiac Life Support Certificate. This course takes you through the stages of advanced cardiac life support (ACLS), enabling you to recall vital information in stressful situations when every moment counts. Complete this course and gain your certificate of completion. The course takes you through each stage of ACLS, from approaching an individual in trouble to post-cardiac arrest care. These are lifesaving skills that will always be in demand.

The principles of advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) and the initial assessment of someone in need of help are the crux of the online course. You will learn about basic life support (BLS), from the chain of survival to the guideline changes, and both mouth-to-mask ventilation. You will progress to learn about advanced life support, including the physiology and anatomy of the heart, airway adjuncts and the ACLS survey.

The material then takes you through the principles of early defibrillation and the steps of using an automated external defibrillator (AED). You will learn about systems of care and explore a number of cases in which ACLS should be used, including respiratory arrest, ventricular fibrillation, bradycardia and tachycardia. Finally, you will learn a number of practical ACLS skills to advance your training.

These crucial skills are especially relevant to those working in fields like nursing, and caregiving for the elderly and vulnerable.
