Advanced Cardiac Life Support Heartcode Skills

HeartCode ACLS is the AHA’s ACLS hybrid learning delivery method. Hybrid learning is a combination of online learing, in which a student completes part 1 of the course in a self-directed manner online, followed by an in-person hands-on session.

Students may purchase the online portion as a product add-on at checkout, or directly through the AHA website at elearning.heart.org. The online part 1 portion of the ACLS Heartcode must be completed prior to the in-person skillls session.

This course is recommended for healthcare professionals who frequently either direct or participate in the management of cardiopulmonary arrests and other cardiovascular emergencies. If you do not participate in cardiopulmonary arrests and other cardiovascular emergencies frequently, please see the course listing for the traditional in-person classes.

Students will be able to:

  1. Recognize and initiate early management of periarrest conditions that may result in cardiac arrest or complicate resuscitation outcome
  2. Demonstrate proficiency in providing BLS care, including prioritizing chest compressions and integrating automated external defibrillator (AED) use
  3. Recognize and manage respiratory arrest
  4. Recognize and manage cardiac arrest until termination of resuscitation or transfer of care, including immediate post–cardiac arrest care
  5. Recognize and initiate early management of acute coronary syndromes, including appropriate disposition
  6. Recognize and initiate early management of stroke, including appropriate disposition
  7. Demonstrate effective communication as a member or leader of a resuscitation team and recognize the impact of team dynamics on overall team performance

HeartCode ACLS Part 1 requires prior knowledge that will be applied in using the ACLS treatment algorithms. To be successful in any ACLS course, students should be able to identify ECG rhythms and should know pharmacology specific to cardiopulmonary arrest and other cardiopulmonary emergencies before beginning the course.  

Students will need to bring your online completion certificate from http://elearning.heart.org/ to complete part 2 skills practice and testing.

STOP THE BLEED

Why Learn?

A bleeding injury can happen anywhere. We've all seen it happen too often—on the news or in everyday life. Life-threatening bleeding can happen in people injured in serious accidents or disasters. Instead of being a witness, you can become an immediate responder because you know how to STOP THE BLEED®. 

What You'll Gain from the Course

The person next to a bleeding victim may very well be the one who’s most likely to save him or her from bleeding to death.

Take the STOP THE BLEED® training course and become empowered to make a life or death difference when a bleeding emergency happens.

How We Teach

Our instructors will teach you live—in person, using training materials specially developed to teach bleeding control techniques. They will not only instruct you, they will be available to check your movements as you practice three different bleeding control actions. They will keep working with you until you demonstrate the correct skills to STOP THE BLEED® and save a life.
