COURSE DESCRIPTION:
To help you achieve course objectives, the ACLS Provider class includes practice learning stations and a Megacode testing station. The practice learning stations give you an opportunity to  participate in a variety of learning activities, including:
> Simulated clinical scenarios
> Demonstrations by instructors or videos
> Discussion and role-playing
> Demonstrate team member and team leader behaviors that enhance team functioning

In these learning stations you will practice essentials skills both individually and as part of a team. This course emphasizes effective team skills as a vital part of the resuscitative effort. You will receive training in effective team behaviors and have the opportunity to practice as a team member and a team leader.

At the end of the course, you will participate in a Megacode Testing station to validate your achievement in the course objectives. A simulated cardiac arrest scenario will assess the following:
> Demonstrate core case materials and required skills
> Utilization of algorithm appropriate to case scenarios
> Interpretation of various cardiac arrhythmias and treatment required
> Implement appropriate basic ACLS drug therapy
> Perform behaviors that illustrate an effective team leader as well as an effective team member

OBJECTIVES:
At the conclusion of this program, the participant will be able to:
> Recognize and initiate early management of peri-arrest conditions that may result in cardiac arrest or complicate resuscitation outcome.
> Demonstrate proficiency in providing BLS care;  prioritizing, chest compressions, and integrating AED use.
> Manage cardiac arrest until return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), termination of resuscitation, or transfer of care.
> Identify and treat ischemic chest pain and expedite the care of patients with acute coronary syndromes.
> Recognize other life-threatening clinical situations, such as stroke, and provide effective initial care and transfer to reduce disability and death.
> Demonstrate effective communication as a member or leader of a resuscitation team
>Identify how team dynamics can influence overall resuscitation team performance.
