ACLS Provider
ACLS (Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support) Provider
📍 Ottawa First Aid CPR will be providing ACLS (Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support) Provider training, accredited by the Heart & Stroke Foundation. 💓
Course Description:
The ACLS Provider course is an advanced, instructor-led classroom experience that emphasizes the importance of team management during cardiac arrest, team dynamics and communication, systems of care, and immediate post-cardiac-arrest care. Specific skills in airway management and related pharmacology are also covered. 💉
Skills are taught through discussion and group learning, while testing stations provide case-based scenarios using simulators. 🎓
Our ACLS Provider course will equip you with essential skills as a member of a healthcare team in simulated environments that mirror real-life cardiac emergencies. These simulations will involve high-quality CPR, high-performance team dynamics, and communication, along with the recognition and management of cardiopulmonary arrest, acute dysrhythmia, stroke, and acute coronary syndromes. 🚑
Through reinforcement, skills practice, coaching, and final testing, you will refine your abilities to handle critical cardiac situations effectively. 🏥
