ACLS Renewal (2020 AHA Guidelines) Description Information ACLS Renewal (2020 AHA Guidelines) The AHA’s Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) Course is designed for healthcare professionals who either direct or participate in the management of cardiopulmonary arrest or other cardiovascular emergencies (i.e., personnel in emergency response, emergency medicine, intensive care, and critical care units) such as physicians, nurses, and paramedics, as well as others who need an ACLS course completion card for job or other requirements.

This ACLS Renewal Course is for providers whose current ACLS certification is expiring and want to recertify as an ACLS provider.

After successfully completing the ACLS Instructor-Led Training Course, students should be able to: Apply the BLS, Primary, and Secondary Assessments sequence for a systematic evaluation of adult patients; Perform prompt, high-quality BLS, including prioritizing early chest compressions and integrating early automated external defibrillator (AED) use; Recognize and perform early management of respiratory arrest, ACS, and stroke, including appropriate disposition; Recognize and perform early management of brady-arrhythmias and tachy-arrhythmias that may result in cardiac arrest or complicate resuscitation outcome; Recognize and perform early management of cardiac arrest until termination of resuscitation or transfer of care, including immediate post–cardiac arrest care; Model effective communication as a member or leader of a high-performance team; Evaluate resuscitative efforts during a cardiac arrest through continuous assessment of CPR quality, monitoring the patient’s physiologic response, and delivering real-time feedback to the team; Recognize the impact of team dynamics on overall team performance and discuss how the use of a rapid response team or medical emergency team may improve patient outcomes; Define systems of care.
