VIVO-Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) Provider Course
Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support course is totally designed for healthcare providers who either direct or participate in the resuscitation of a patient, whether in or out of hospital. Through the ACLS course, providers will enhance their skills in the treatment of the adult victim of a cardiac arrest or other cardiopulmonary emergencies. ACLS emphasizes the importance of basic life support CPR to patient survival, the integration of effective basic life support with advanced cardiovascular life support interventions and the importance of effective team interaction and communication during resuscitation.

Intended Audience
The ACLS course is designed for medical providers such as physicians, nurses, mid-levels, emergency medical technicians, paramedics, respiratory therapists, and other professionals whose daily occupation requires them to either direct or participate in the resuscitation of a patient, whether in or out of hospital.
