Curriculum
The principles of advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) and the initial assessment of someone in need of help are the cruces of the free online course. You will learn about basic life support (BLS), from the chain of survival to the guideline changes, and both mouth-to-mask and bag-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.
This certification course also comes with a handbook to help you further your learning. Complete this course and purchase a certificate to gain access to free international accreditation. These crucial skills are especially relevant to those working in fields like nursing, and caring for the elderly and vulnerable. You will then learn about the newest section of our ACLS handbook, which covers the core ACLS rhythms and their interpretations.
