Description
The HeartCode ACLS Part 1 program has been updated to reflect new science in the 2015 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care. Key science changes include the new CPR sequence, a continued emphasis on high-quality CPR, and the use of continuous waveform capnography to monitor CPR quality and detect ROSC.
HeartCode is a Web-based, self-paced instructional program that uses eSimulation technology to allow students to assess and treat patients in virtual healthcare settings. In this environment, students apply their knowledge to real-time decision making and skills development. Debriefings and coaching are provided immediately after each simulation to facilitate learning about basic and advanced life support.
Successful completion of the full ACLS Course (using HeartCode ACLS Part 1) includes two parts:
1. Completion of the online AHA ACLS course work (this must be done prior to #2)
2. Hands-on skills evaluation with an AHA ACLS Instructor
