Advanced Cardiac Life Support skills session is the hands-on portion of a blended learning certification course, where you demonstrate competency in life-saving skills and scenario management to an instructor or via a voice-assisted manikin. 
 
 
Key Components
 
You can expect the session to cover two main areas: Basic Life Support (BLS) skills and megacode scenarios
 
  • BLS Skills Review and Testing: You will practice and be tested on core BLS skills, which must be performed effectively and without assistance during the testing phase. These include:
    • High-quality chest compressions (correct depth, rate, and technique).
    • Effective ventilation using a pocket mask or bag-mask device.
    • Proper use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED).
  • Megacode Scenarios: This is the culmination of the training, where you act as a team leader in simulated cardiac emergencies. You will be guided through a series of simulated cases (e.g., cardiac arrest, tachyarrhythmia, bradycardia, stroke, respiratory arrest). Your performance will be evaluated on:
    • Systematic patient assessment.
    • Effective team dynamics and communication.
    • Rhythm recognition and management.
    • Appropriate use of medications and electrical therapy (defibrillation, cardioversion, pacing).
    • Identification and treatment of reversible causes (H's and T's). 
 
What to Bring and How to Prepare
 
  • Certificate of Completion: You must bring the completion certificate from the online (HeartCode ACLS) portion of the course. (Make sure to complete the survey once you complete the online exam in order to download certificate*** No need tp print out, can be emailed upon arrival to skills session)
  • AHA Provider Manual/Reference Card: You are typically allowed and encouraged to use your ACLS reference materials, ACLS Code Reference Card, during the megacode scenario.
  • Review Algorithms and Medications: While reference materials are available, a strong grasp of the ACLS algorithms, medication dosages, and indications will ensure a smooth experience. Algorithms---->   https://cpr.heart.org/en/resuscitation-science/cpr-and-ecc-guidelines/algorithms#adult
  • Take Notes: It is recommended to take notes when completing the online class at home.
 
How to prepare
 
  • Instructor Guidance: An AHA instructor will be present to facilitate the session, offer a brief review, provide feedback during practice, and evaluate your skills.
  • Practice and Testing: The session typically includes a practice period before the final testing where you must perform the scenarios without instructor intervention.
