Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

  • Master the ACLS algorithms for cardiac arrest, bradycardia, and tachycardia
  • Perform effective team dynamics and communication during resuscitation
  • Recognize and manage peri-arrest conditions
  • Understand post-cardiac arrest care principles
  • Master airway management techniques including intubation
