In today’s fast-paced environment, it is not always easy for healthcare providers to keep their certifications current.  \nHeartCode ACLS offers a convenient method for obtaining an American Heart Association ACLS card.  \nProviders can complete the course at their own pace, on their own schedule, saving time and money and improving the utilization of a limited pool of instructor resources.  \nThis specific program is designed to educate clinicians about treatments for cardiovascular emergencies and stroke.  \nTarget Audience Physicians, pharmacists, registered nurses, emergency medi  \ncal service technicians and paramedics are the target audience. Other healthcare workers who care directly for patients may also benefit.  \nSP4210 rev B  \nHeartCode™   AC LS  \nHeartCode ACLS  \nLIST OF CONTENTS Page  \nIntroduction 3  \nSpecial features Cricothyrotomy, surgical 18  \nCricothyrotomy, needle 18  \nChest tube 18  \nNeedle decompression 18  \nVentilate with bag-mask, two-rescuer 19  \nPeak flow meter 19  \nCarotid sinus massage (carotid sinus pressure) 19  \nValsalva maneuver 19  \nContinuous temperature monitoring 20  \nTransfer patient to CT scanning 20  \nTransfer patient to PCI 20  \nTransfer patient to transvenous pacing 20  \nPacing (transcutaneous) 21  \nLumbar puncture 21  \nTroponin test 21  \nFibrinolytic drugs 21  \nGlycoprotein llb/llla inhibitors 22  \nPericardiocentesis 22  \nPatients Brad Stephens 6  \nVF/pulseless VT-unconscious  \nDerrick Gentry 7  \nAcute ischemic stroke  \nErvin Waters 8  \nAtrial fibrillation  \nIan Denholm 9  \nVT with pulse  \nJohn Mitchell 10  \nAcute coronary syndrome  \nKevin King 11  \nParoxysmal SVT  \nHeartCode ACLS 1  \nSP4210 rev B  \nHeartCode™ ACLS   \nHeartCode ACLS  \nLou Weston 11  \nBradycardia  \nNathan Meagher 13  \nPulseless Electrical Activity  \nStan Loftus 14  \nAsystole  \nWarren Clark 15  \nVF/pulseless VT-Conscious at Start  \nAccreditation / Disclosure Statements 24  \n2 HeartCode ACLS  \nSP4210 rev B  \nHeartCode™   AC LS  \nSpecial features in HeartCode ACLS  \nIntroduction The HeartCode ACLS CD-ROM includes all of the  \nexams required for successful completion of the didactic portion of the HeartCode ACLS Program:  \n• ACLS Written Exam  \n• 10 Core Cases (realistic patient-simulation cases)  \nAlso on the CD-ROM:  \nTeam Training Module  \nA module on team concepts that allows providers to learn the basic team principles and how to integrate these principles in a simulated code.  \nElectronic versions of AHA textbooks  \n• HeartCode ACLS Provider Manual  \n• 2005 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiovascular Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care  \nHeartCode ACLS includes microsimulation technology that improves both the educational content and user-friendliness of the program.
