ACLS (Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support) AHAProvider is a set of guidelines and protocols so that health and medical professionals can carry out advanced management for patients with heart failure after Basic Life Support (BLS). This is very important in order to save lives and improve the quality of patient prognosis (AHA, 2020. Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support Provider Manual). Health and medical personnel need to be trained in ACLS because they will equip both in knowledge and ability so that they can provide a quick and effective response in the event of a heart attack. ACLS guidelines and protocols are based on the latest evidence-based research, allowing healthcare professionals to take a structured approach to cardiac emergency management. This includes identifying the cause of cardiac arrest, providing appropriate interventions, and monitoring the patient's response to therapy (AHA, 2020. Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support Provider Manual). ACLS also prioritizes cooperation between teams and communication between health professionals. Heart attacks are sometimes complex and require the cooperation of many parties (AHA, 2020. Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support Provider Manual). In addition, ACLS is one of the tools to help standardize health care providers. ACLS guidelines and protocols are used in various hospitals, emergency departments, and clinics. It is hoped that by following these guidelines, health professionals can consistently provide good quality management to patients wherever the patient is served (AHA, 2020. Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support Provider Manual). ACLS is also very important as a means of continuing education and to maintain professional competence. Therefore, health professionals are asked to renew their ACLS certification every two years to ensure they remain updated with the latest scientific developments (AHA, 2020. Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support Provider Manual). ACLS is an important component in the healthcare industry, which will improve the competence of health professionals with the ability and knowledge to respond quickly and effectively to cardiac emergencies, improve communication and teamwork between disciplines. Become a standard means of health services and continuing education. Aims to save lives and improve patient prognosis (AHA, 2020. Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support Provider Manual). This workshop is designed for medical personnel and health workers who in their daily duties, will directly handle or be included in the support team in the management of cardiovascular stop or other cardiovascular emergencies. Through classroom teaching and the active participation of participants in simulated cases, participants will improve their ability to recognize and intervene in cardiac arrest, post-cardiac arrest, acute dysrhythmia, stroke, acute coronary syndrome. The goal of this training class is to improve the prognosis of adult patients with cardiac arrest and other cardiovascular emergencies, through early recognition of signs and symptoms and intervention by high-performance teams.
1. Understand the "System of Care"
2. Apply a series of Basic Life Support (BLS) assessments, primary assessments, and secondary assessments in order in the systematic evaluation of an adult patient.
3. Understand the role of rapid response teams or medical emergency teams in improving patient prognosis.
4. Understand the early recognition of signs and symptoms and the management of acute coronary syndrome, including the appropriate transfer of patients
5. Understand early recognition of signs and symptoms and stroke management, including appropriate patient transfer
6. Recognize bradycardia and tachycardia that can lead to cardiac arrest or lower the prognosis of resuscitation
1. Perform early management of bradycardia and tachycardia which can lead to cardiac arrest or reduce the prognosis of resuscitation
2. Conduct an effective communication model either as a member or team leader of a well-performing team.
3. Recognize the impact of team dynamics on overall team performance
4. Recognize the signs and symptoms of apnea.
5. Recognize the signs and symptoms of cardiac arrest.
6. Perform good quality BLS quickly including prioritizing chest compressions early and integrating the use of AEDs (automated external defibrillators)
7. Carry out early management of cardiac arrest cases until the cessation of resuscitation or patient transfer, including post-cardiac arrest management.
8. Evaluate resuscitation efforts during cardiac arrest by continuously assessing the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the patient's physiological response, and providing immediate feedback to the team
