In a medical emergency every second counts, that is why it is critical to know how to appropriately treat cardiovascular event. These courses are vital for healthcare professionals such as medical doctors, emergency room nurses, paramedics, and nurse practitioners. By taking an American Heart Association ACLS class you will have the cognitive knowledge and hands-on skills to save a life in an emergency.

Advanced cardiovascular life support builds on the concepts of BLS while incorporating airway management, bradycardia or tachycardia recognition, and the administration of cardiac drugs. At CPR of America, we know that the ACLS course can seem intimidating and that is why instructors work individually with each student.
