Advanced Cardiac Life Support ACLS Original

The ACLS Provider Course is designed for healthcare providers who either direct or participate in the management of cardiopulmonary arrest or other cardiovascular emergencies

 

How to Get Ready

The ACLS Provider Course is designed to teach you the lifesaving skills required to be both a team member and a team leader in either an in-hospital or an out-of-hospital setting. Because the ACLS Provider Course covers extensive material in a short time, you will need to prepare for the course beforehand.

 

Precourse Requirements

You should prepare for the course by doing the following:

 

1.   Complete the precourse preparation checklist that came with your ACLS Provider Manual. Bring the checklist with you to the course.

2.   Review the course agenda.

3.   Review and understand the information in your ACLS Provider Manual. Pay particular attention to the 10 cases in Part 5.

4.   The resuscitation scenarios require that your BLS skills and knowledge are current. You will be tested on 1-rescuer adult CPR and AED skills at the beginning of the ACLS Provider Course. You must know this in advance, since you will not be taught how to do CPR or how to use an AED.

5.   Review, understand, and complete the ECG and Pharmacology Precourse Self-Assessment on the Student Website (www.heart.org/eccstudent). You will not be taught how to read or interpret ECGs in the course, nor will you be taught details about ACLS pharmacology.

6.   Print your scores for the Precourse Self-Assessment and bring them with you to class.

 

What This Course Does Not Cover

The ACLS Provider Course does not teach algorithms, ECG rhythm recognition, or pharmacology. If you do not learn and understand the ECG and pharmacology information in the Precourse Self-Assessment, it is unlikely that you can successfully complete the ACLS Provider Course.

Rochester General Hospital Pediatric Emergency Assessment Recognition and Stabilization (PEARS) Course

 ***This course registration is for Rochester General Hospital employees ONLY.  Please be sure to list your employee # with your registration.  If you are not a RGH employee please call Nickie Vetter (585) 472-5248, for pricing information and to register for this class. *Not all course dates are open to non-RGH employees. 

 

Pediatric, Emergency, Assessment, Recognition and Stabilization

(PEARS)

 

Pediatric, Emergency, Assessment, Recognition and Stabilization (PEARS:)

 

 A new intermediate course for credentialed healthcare providers who infrequently see critically ill children.

 

The main focus of PEARS is prevention, and specifically the assessment, recognition and stabilization of pediatric victims at risk of severe cardiopulmonary distress.

 

Course content covers pediatric assessment, recognition and management of

respiratory distress and failure, recognition and management of shock, respiratory and

circulatory management, resuscitation team concept and Chain of Survival.

 

The audience for this course is any healthcare provider who might encounter pediatric patients in their profession. It is not intended for those staff credentialed for advanced pediatric skills that routinely provide pediatric care.

 

Course content covers pediatric assessment, recognition and management of respiratory distress and failure, recognition and management of shock, respiratory and circulatory management, resuscitation team concept and Chain of Survival.

 

 

The course is video-based with instructor-led discussion and simulation. This course does provide AHA PEARS certification.

 

 

 

PEARS, developed by the American Heart Association (AHA), is for healthcare providers who infrequently see critically ill children or any healthcare provider who might encounter pediatric patients.  PEARS is not intended for those who require credentialing in advanced resuscitation skills.  PEARS focuses on prevention, specifically the assessment, recognition and stabilization of pediatric victims at risk of severe cardiopulmonary distress.  PEARS participants develop skills in recognizing certain pediatric distress signs and symptoms using several unique visual cues and working at learning stations.  Because typical PEARS students do not regularly treat critically ill children, the course includes video-based simulation so they can actually see and hear critically ill children.  PEARS is a one-day course.

 

At the end of this 1-day program, participants will be able to:

 

Ø  Initiate/execute effective CPR.

Ø  Stabilize a seriously ill or injured child.

Ø  Learn/practice effective team interactions.

 

The AHA saw there was a gap in the number of healthcare providers who see pediatric patients but do not take the PALS course because it is too advanced. PEARS bridges the gap between providers who regularly provide pediatric intensive care and those who do not routinely provide pediatric care, but still need training in skills that help identify the signs and symptoms of a pediatric victim in cardiopulmonary distress.

 

 

Course Content:

Pediatric assessment

Respiratory compromise and arrest recognition and management

Circulatory compromise and arrest recognition and management

Shock recognition and management

Resuscitation team concept

Chain of survival

 

   

 The purpose of the course material is to enhance the pediatric assessment and recognition skills of the provider. The provider will be equipped to identify a pediatric victim at risk of severe cardiopulmonary distress and can intervene early to stabilize the child and contact next level of care early.

 

 

PEARS Course Prerequisites:

 

Ø  Current BLS for the Healthcare Provider CPR certification is a pre-requisite to this course.

 

Ø  Textbooks are required and must be read prior to course.
