Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support Course Content

The course aims to give the participants the opportunity to practice and demonstrate proficiency in continuous, high-quality CPR, high-performance team dynamics and communication, recognition and intervention of cardiopulmonary arrest, acute dysrhythmia, stroke, and acute coronary syndromes. Students practice the application of these and other skills in simulated cases and will practice both team leader and team member roles.

Course Content

  • Didactical lessons
  • Interactive learning accompanied by videos
  • Skill practices on task trainers and mannequins
  • Simulated clinical scenarios
  • Assesment of knowledge and skills’ practices

Goals

  • To apply high quality basic life support in adults
  • Airway management
  • Recognition of clinical signs of detoriation
  • Prevention of arrest: Recognition and early management of peri-arrest rhythms such as symptomatic bradycardia and tachycardia
  • Cardioversion and transcutaneous pacing
  • High-performance team dynamics: cardiac arrest rhythms and post-cardiac arrest care management
  • Approach, diagnosis and intervention in acute coronary syndromes and acute stroke
  • Extensive practice of team dynamics and communication during resuscitation
