ACLS-BLS Renew

The Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) recertification class can be taken by any provider who has already successfully completed the initial ACLS course. During the renewal class, students will review key changes made by American Heart Association to their guidelines for treating cardiovascular and respiratory emergencies. Students will also receive a guided review of the algorithms, electrical therapies, pharmacology, and team dynamics.

Every two years healthcare providers that are already certified in Basic Life Support for healthcare providers, BLS, must renew their skills in order to maintain their certification. This is essential, as the American Heart Association is constantly doing research to improve survival rates after cardiac arrest.  Students will practice compressions and rescue breathing for infants, children, and adults. There will also be a detailed review for all age groups of how to operate and AED, compression/ventilation ratios, and rescuing the choking victim.
