Description: Course is designed to teach the skills of CPR for victims of all ages to the healthcare provider.
Includes:
- Airway: opening airway techniques and techniques to relieve conscious and unconscious chocking in adult, child and infant
- Breathing: ventilation with barrier device and use of the bag-mask
- Circulation: circulation techniques using chest compressions for one and two rescuers, and Defibrillation: use of the automatic external defibrillator (AED). This course discusses signs
- and symptoms often associated with sudden cardiac death (SCD) and how to recognize the signs of a stroke.
A course completion card (BLS-HCP) will be issued for all providers in the BLS-HCP course who successfully complete the written examination and skills demonstration.
Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) Prep (Preparation Course, Day One)
| Prerequisite: |
Copy of current BLS card, basic EKG rhythm interpretation skills |
| Fees: |
$170.00 (includes ACLS 2006 manual with CD and CPR/ECC Handbook) |
| Time: |
08:00 - 16:30 |
| Credits: |
8 CEUs |
| Location: |
1451 California Ave., Palo Alto, Ca., 94304 |
Description: This course is designed for the first time ACLS student or ACLS provider with an expired ACLS certification. In this course you will enhance your knowledge and skills in the treatment of arrest and peri-arrest patients through active participation in a series of simulated cardiopulmonary cases. The course will cover the basic ACLS drug therapies, the core algorithms and the effective performance as a team leader in a mega code simulation.
- The morning session is video/lecture format devoted to review of the ACLS content knowledge and skills.
- The afternoon session focuses on small group "hands on" practice in airway management, single rescuer adult arrest with AED, ACS, and mega code practice.
- AHA Faculty will be available to answer questions and provide expert guidance to provider learning
Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) Prep (Day Two, ACLS Certification)
| Prerequisite: |
Proof of recent completion of an ACLS Prep class and basic EKG interpretation skills. |
| Fees: |
$210.00 |
| Time: |
08:00 - 16:30 |
| Credits: |
8 CEUs |
| Location: |
1451 California Ave., Palo Alto, Ca., 94304 |
Description: This course is designed for healthcare providers who either directs or participate in the resuscitation of a patient, whether in or out of the hospital. Upon successful completion of this recertification/certification course you will be able to;
Manage a peri-arrest condition that may result in cardiac arrest using a team leading approach with effective communication to all members involved
- Demonstrate a single rescue adult arrest using the AED
- Manage a cardiac arrest following one of the 10 core algorithms
- Identify and treat ischemic chest pain and the first 10 minutes of care for the patient with acute coronary syndrome
- Be able to recognize the life-threatening clinical signs such as stroke and describe the appropriate interventions to reduce disability and death
Pre-study is a necessary part of this course. Please allow yourself a 2 week lead in to complete the Pre-course Preparation Checklist inside of the 2006 ACLS manual.

Basic EKG Interpretation for ACLS
| Prerequisite: |
None |
| Fees: |
$135.00 |
| Time: |
08:00 - 16:30 |
| Credits: |
8 CEUs |
| Location: |
1451 California Ave., Palo Alto, Ca., 94304 |
(Part of ACLS Bonus Package)
Quick review of cardiac anatomy and physiology as it relates to the electrical conduction system and the cardiac cycle.
Through class interaction the learner will begin to recognize normal electrical conduction and basic arrhythmias. The course will cover the cardiac rhythms often seen in patients with cardiac disease.
This course was designed to cover the common life threatening rhythms seen in the Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) course. The course covers the pharmacological interventions associated with the various stable and unstable cardiac arrhythmias.
The course is recommended for people who have little or no working knowledge or experience with rhythm interpretation and who need to become certified in ACLS.
This class is a prerequisite for the ACLS Prep course for those who are not able to interpret basic EKG rhythms.
ACLS Bonus Package
For individuals taking ACLS for the first time who need all three classes.
The Bonus Package includes the following:
| Basic EKG Interpretation for ACLS |
Sept 5 |
$135.00 |
| ACLS Prep |
