Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using one of our stateof-the-art first aid simulators. This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) for Doctors. It covers the role of ACLS in patient outcomes; the roles and responsibilities of doctors in ACLS situations; the BLS principles as a foundation for ACLS including CPR and AED usage; the key changes in ACLS from BLS and the systematic approach to patient care in ACLS; the ACLS algorithms for various cardiac conditions; and the bradycardia and tachycardia algorithms, cardiac arrest algorithms and post-cardiac arrest care algorithm. Further, the course will also discuss the drugs commonly used in ACLS and their roles including epinephrine, amiodarone and atropine; the advanced airway techniques covering endotracheal intubation and use of supraglottic devices; the ACLS techniques for special situations comprising of stroke, acute coronary syndromes, and opioid overdose; using capnography in ACLS to assess ventilation and circulation; and managing a patient during cardiac arrest, including alternating CPR with defibrillation and drug administration.During this interactive course, participants will learn the post-arrest care covering considerations and interventions following return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC); the specific roles and responsibilities of team leaders and members in a resuscitation effort; the effective communication techniques during resuscitation; the importance of debriefing after resuscitation attempts and providing/receiving constructive feedback; and the team-based resuscitation scenarios and detailed care sequence resuscitation including intervention and intensive care. link to course overview PDF
