Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) is a specialized training program designed to equip healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to manage cardiac emergencies and improve outcomes for patients experiencing life-threatening cardiovascular events. ACLS focuses on advanced resuscitation techniques, including effective team dynamics, rapid decision-making, and the use of advanced cardiac interventions to restore circulation and support cardiac function.

Healthcare Professionals: ACLS is typically intended for healthcare providers such as physicians, nurses, paramedics, respiratory therapists, and other emergency medical personnel. Emergency Room and Critical Care Staff: Professionals working in emergency rooms, intensive care units (ICUs), and critical care settings benefit from ACLS training due to the high likelihood of encountering cardiac emergencies. Cardiologists and Cardiac Care Teams: ACLS is relevant for cardiologists, cardiac nurses, and healthcare professionals specializing in cardiovascular care. First Responders: Some ACLS programs are designed for first responders, including firefighters and police officers, to enhance their ability to provide immediate advanced cardiac care.
