Course Description
The ACLS for Experienced Providers (EP) course is designed for those
healthcare professionals that utilize ACLS skills on a routine basis.
The premise for the course is that if we are aware of the most common causes
of cardiac arrest and can identify those patients that are at risk, could we lower the
incidence of death by educating ACLS providers on preemptive interventions?
The ACLS-EP course is a one day, 8-hour course that reviews current ACLS
proficiency and provides discussion for the recognition and management of four
specific peri-arrest conditions: electrolyte abnormalities, cardiovascular emergencies
(including right ventricular infarction), environmental emergencies, and toxidromes.
Course Length: 8 hours
Intended Audience
Professionals, clinicians and scientists who must frequently respond to emergency cardiovascular and special resuscitation situations in the work environment.
Student Materials:
- ACLS: for the Experienced Textbook (Required)
