Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) training is designed for healthcare professionals who participate in or lead the management of cardiac arrest, stroke and other cardiopulmonary emergencies.

Who takes ACLS?

ACLS is commonly required or expected for physicians, nurses, paramedics, respiratory therapists and other clinicians working in emergency, critical care, procedural or high-acuity environments.

What ACLS training reinforces

ACLS builds on BLS skills and adds rhythm recognition, airway management, defibrillation, cardioversion, pacing, medication concepts and high-performance team dynamics.
