Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) courses provide critical training to Canadian healthcare professionals. The Heart & Stroke ACLS course has been updated to reflect new science from the 2020 Guidelines Update for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (2020 Guidelines for CPR and ECC). ACLS builds on the foundation of basic life support (BLS) skills, emphasizing the importance of continuous, high-quality CPR. This advanced course highlights the importance of preventing cardiac arrest, high-performance team dynamics and communication, systems of care, recognition and intervention of cardiopulmonary arrest, immediate post-cardiac arrest, acute dysrhythmia, stroke, and acute coronary syndromes.

The ACLS Provider Manual is designed for a single user and is required for all students taking an ACLS course. Students will use this book to progress through the course and as a reference tool before and after the classroom session.
