Description:
ALS (Advanced Life Support) further augments BLS skills with advanced clinical decision-making, ECG rhythm interpretation, pharmacology, electrical therapy, and management of cardiac, stroke, and respiratory emergencies. It focuses on interventions by professional healthcare providers in acute and peri-arrest settings.
Learning Objectives:
- Recognize and manage cardiac arrhythmias (bradycardia, tachycardia, VF/pulseless VT)
- Conduct systematic rapid assessment and differential diagnosis
- Manual defibrillation, synchronized cardioversion, pacing
- Advanced airway management (supraglottic airways, intubation)
- Administer IV/IO medications; understand pharmacology
- Post-resuscitation care: ROSC (Return of Spontaneous Circulation), temperature and hemodynamic management
- Team leadership and communication in crisis
