This American Heart Association authorized ACLS Renewal course focuses on patient resuscitation in and out of a hospital setting. GMEC’s ACLS course is a LOW-STRESS, hands-on experience taught by veteran instructors in a state of the art facility utilizing the most up-to-date equipment and techniques.  

GMEC’s ACLS course will sharpen skills involving the use of basic life support CPR as well as its combined effectiveness with advanced cardiovascular life support interventions. This LOW-STRESS course emphasizes the treatment of adult victims of cardiac arrest and other cardiopulmonary emergencies with effective communication in a team environment. The LOW-STRESS Mega Code portion of our course is a hands-on, simulated clinical scenarios where vital life saving skills are practiced first as an individual, then as part of a team, and finally as a team leader.

As an American Heart Association authorized provider, our ACLS course focuses on these core concepts:  proficiency in basic life support care; recognizing and initiating early management of peri-arrest conditions; managing cardiac arrest; identifying and treating ischemic chest pain and acute coronary syndromes; recognizing other life-threatening clinical situations (such as stroke) and providing initial care; ACLS algorithms; and effective resuscitation team dynamics.
