It is
always expected of a healthcare professional starting from doctors, paramedics
to nurses, surgeons to be skilled in most life-saving procedures. That is why
healthcare providers make sure to train in each and every life-saving technique
to be able to deal with all kinds of emergencies successfully. Cardiac arrest
death cases are on an all-time high which makes it important for every
healthcare provider to be well-trained in the indispensable cardiopulmonary
resuscitation procedures, proper administration of which can save the life of a
cardiac arrest struck victim. Most medical professionals are aware about it
which has also led to the popularity of these classes among them. There are
mainly three types of CPR courses: the Basic Life Support course, the Advanced
Cardiac Life Support course and the Pediatric Advanced Life Support course.
Each course is different from one another so you should definitely go through
the course details and then should enroll for a course. If you are a
first-timer that you are thinking about learning the procedures then you should
go for the BLS course. Being a healthcare provider if you are already BLS
certified then you should go for Advanced Cardiac Life Support course. Make
sure your training center is AHA certified. If you are in Memphis then you can
enroll for a course at the AHA accredited CPR Memphis where after the
completion of a course you would receive an AHA certification. Today our
discussion will specifically revolve around the Advanced Cardiac Life Support
courses.
The ACLS Course- In the ACLS course the advanced cardiac life support CPR
techniques would be taught to you. Certain skills which you will get to acquire
includes management of airways in victims, interpreting the ECG'S, initiation
of IV'S and emergency pharmacology. The ACLS course includes both theoretical
and practical training and that also you will receive in the hands of AHA
certified instructors. At CPR Memphis at the end of an ACLS course you would
get the chance of participating in a Megacode which would replicate actual
scenarios for you to make use of the AHA ACLS algorithms. The participation in
the Megacodes will enable you in grasping the procedures more accurately which
will make you capable of performing the procedures correctly to a victim in
real-life scenarios. The ACLS classes takes approximately around 6 hours for
completion. At the end of the course you would receive an AHA ACLS certification Memphis on the same
day as the class.
The ACLS Re-certification Course- You need to keep in mind one thing
that the AHA card which you would receive at the end of the ACLS course would
be having a validity for 2 years. For retaining the validity of your card you
need to make sure to go for the card renewal classes as the time of expiry will
draw closer. The re-certification course would also be conducted by the AHA certified professional CPR instructors and you would again receive the card on
the same day as the class. You would also get a reminder from our end as the
time of expiry of your card would come close. The ACLS re-certification course
fee is 199$ and you can add BLS renew just by paying a meagre 39$ extra which
means that you would be able renew both your cards on the same day.
