FREE EDUCATIONAL BENEFIT

The Advanced Cardiac Life Support {ACLS} course encompasses a set of clinical algorithms that help in the management of heart attacks, stroke, and other cardiovascular emergencies. The course is offered as two options: ACLS online training online or an ACLS Study Guide. ACLS online recertification and training is available to qualified healthcare personnel. The coursework covers the interpretation of electrocardiograms, the effective use of medications, and the process of initiating vascular access. Things that every healthcare professional needs to know to handle neurologic and cardiac emergencies.

The ACLS course builds on the elements covered in the BLS course, and it is therefore recommended that course participants earn BLS certification before starting the online ACLS course. The logic of this is that, in a cardiac or neurologic emergency, the very first action is to initiate the Chain of Survival, and this sometimes involves the use of an AED – a skill that is covered in the BLS course.

Below is information on what the ACLS course entails.

What does the course cover?

ACLS training is meant to help healthcare workers improve the survival rates of adults who suffer neurologic and cardiac emergencies. Some of the topics covered in the coursework for ACLS online recertification and training are:

Basic life support skills such as the use of AEDs, chest compressions, and bag-mask devices
Recognition & initial management of cardiac and respiratory arrest
Recognition & management of pre- and peri-arrest conditions such as symptomatic bradycardia
Airway management
Use of drugs to manage various cardiac & neurologic emergencies
Effective communication within a resuscitation team as a leader or team member
Interpretation of an electrocardiogram

Types of algorithms in ACLS

The current guidelines for free ACLS certification online include understanding and recognition of different algorithms. Algorithms are sets of standardized instructions on the management of different cardiac and neurologic emergencies. The algorithms are presented in the form of flowcharts that require yes-or-no decisions when handling emergencies.

The following are subjects of ACLS algorithms:

Cardiac arrest
Bradycardia
Tachycardia
Respiratory arrest
Opioid emergency
Pulseless electrical activity
Suspected stroke
Post-cardiac arrest
Ventricular fibrillation

The ACLS online course is a great and easy way to keep my ACLS updated without having to go through the rigmarole of physically going through the steps at some remote site. The fact that medtigo covers the expense is icing on the cake.”

“
medtigo’s ACLS course was excellent. It covered the latest and most important updates in ACLS, focusing on the most relevant facts for efficient and quality care delivery to patients. The course was easy to log into, free of charge, and logically organized for productive training. Lectures were clear and crisp. The final exam was fair and reflective of the lecture and study material. Would recommend this to anyone looking to re-certify for ACLS. Thank you, medtigo, for hosting this.”
