Many have studied this study guide and workbook as he or she prepared for ACLS certification or recertification. It is written to focus on the basic knowledge of ACLS. In depth knowledge of the many aspects of emergency cardiac support comes from experience and continued study. No one can learn all there is to know the first time he or she takes ACLS. Most of us don’t need to know all there is to know about Advanced Cardiovascular medicine.

For those that need a refresher course for EKG, Part One presents the essentials of EKG rhythm study. If you require extra in addition to the workbook the student may elect to attend NEO’s basic ECG interpretation class prior to the ACLS class. Arrangements can be made with your NEO instructor. The ACLS healthcare provider must be able to recognize Ventricular Fibrillation, Ventricular Tachycardia, Asystole, Bradycardia and Supraventricular Tachycardia. It is essential that the healthcare provider is able to assess the P wave, QRS complex and T wave.

In addition, you will be given the opportunity to understand the 12-lead EKG as how it relates to your patient with chest pain. You will learn how to identify a significant Q wave, determine ST-segment elevation and depression and recognize inverted or flat T waves with this study guide.

You will have the opportunity to determine the location of the infarct with the 12-lead EKG and discuss the coronary arteries that may be occluded. You will have the opportunity to determine the signs and symptoms that may occur with the various infarct locations.

Treat the Beat III will show you the difference between an Atrial Fibrillation and an Atrial Flutter and the significance of each arrhythmia.

Treat the Beat III will help you determine the difference between the first, second and third degree heart blocks and the specific interventions of each.

3. Upon receipt of evaluation sheet, we’ll send your certificate for 30 contact hours [/restab] [restab title=”Objectives”] ACLS requires a basic knowledge of EKG interpretation. The following text is for review of the essential interpretation applicable to ACLS certification. The student will be able to:

• Identify normal and abnormal rhythms
• Identify ST segment elevation and depression
• Identify significant Q waves
• Identify abnormal QRS complexes
• Identify Bundle Branch Block
• Measure P-R interval
• Measure Heart Rate
• Have a basic knowledge of a 12 lead EKG

This understanding is a prerequisite before becoming skilled in ACLS. On completion of this course, the participant will be able to identify:
