The ACLS Instructor Manual eBook is the electronic equivalent of an AHA ACLS Instructor Manual. This Instructor Manual eBook provides essential information, lesson plans, and resources for teaching the ACLS Course on an initial or update basis, including instructor-led and blended-learning options.
NOTE: In addition to being included in the ACLS Instructor Manual eBook, all Instructor Resources (lesson plans, agendas, etc.) can also be found on CPRverify.org, and the International Training Center.
The AHA’s ACLS Course has been updated to reflect new science in the 2020 AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC, as well as the 2019 Update to the 2018 ASA Ischemic Stroke Guidelines. The ACLS Course teaches the importance of preventing cardiac arrest, high-performance teams, continuous high-quality CPR, systems of care, recognition and intervention of cardiopulmonary arrest, post-cardiac arrest care, acute dysrhythmias, stroke, and acute coronary syndromes (ACS).
