Basic Life Support (BLS)

Initial BLS: $120.00. Duration is 2.5 hours. Nursing CEU’s: 2.5
Renewal BLS: $80.00. Duration is 1.5 hours. Nursing CEU’s: 1.5

BLS is a comprehensive course that focuses on teaching participants the fundamental life-saving skills to help people experiencing cardiac arrest, respiratory arrest or an airway obstruction. After completing this course, participants will have the knowledge and feel confident in their abilities to perform lifesaving skills.

This course includes:

• The AHA Chain of Survival
• High-quality CPR for adults, children, and infants
• Important early use of an AED
• Effective ventilations using a barrier device
• Importance of teams in multi-rescuer resuscitation and performance as an effective team member during multi-rescuer CPR
• Relief of foreign-body airway obstruction (choking) for adults, children, and infants

Participants who have never taken BLS should take the initial class. During the initial class, AHA videos will be shown and each section will require the participants to practice hands-on skills. The initial course is more comprehensive, providing a more in-depth exploration of material, techniques and practices, making the approach and duration longer than the renewal classes.

During the renewal classes participants will review the material in a PowerPoint presentation, AHA videos, and practice their cognitive and psychomotor skills through small-group case scenarios.

Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS)

Initial ACLS: $300.00. Duration is 8 hours. Nursing CEU’s: 8
Renewal ACLS: $200.00. Duration is 4.0 hours. Nursing CEU’s: 4

ACLS is a comprehensive course that builds on the foundation of lifesaving BLS skills. ACLS is focused on identifying someone who is in cardiopulmonary arrest or experiencing other cardiovascular emergencies. It is designed for healthcare providers who may be involved with and participate in the management of patients in these types of situations.

This course includes:

• Systems of care & review of BLS
• Systematic approach
• Management of ACS and strokes
• Recognition and early management of respiratory and cardiac arrest
• Recognition and early management of peri-arrest conditions
• Cardiac Algorithms
• Cardiac Arrest: Special Situations
• High-Performance Team Roles & Dynamics

Participants who have never taken ACLS should take the initial class. During the initial class AHA videos will be shown & after each section the instructor will encourage the participants to have open discussions so they can further their knowledge. They will also have the opportunity for more simulation to learn and practice their cognitive and psychomotor skills. The initial course is more comprehensive, providing a more in-depth exploration of material, techniques and practices, making the approach and duration longer than the renewal classes.

During the renewal classes participants will review the material in a PowerPoint presentation, AHA videos, and practice their cognitive and psychomotor skills through small-group case scenarios.

Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS)

Initial ACLS: $300.00. Duration is 8 hours. Nursing CEU’s: 8
Renewal ACLS: $200.00. Duration is 4.0 hours. Nursing CEU’s: 4

PALS is a comprehensive course that is focused on evaluating the infant or child by using the systematic approach so the participant can rapidly identify the problems and perform appropriate interventions on an acutely ill child or infant. It is designed for healthcare providers who may be involved with and participate in the management of patients in these types of situations. Each section will have a video component as well as group discussions, hands-on practice and skills check-off to assess what you have learned.

This course includes:

• Systems of care, pediatric BLS review & skill checks
• Systematic approach to assessment
• Respiratory emergency management
• Shock emergency management
• Cardiac emergencies
• Post-cardiac arrest care

ECG Interpretation (Electrocardiogram)

ECG: $150.00. Duration is 2 hours. Nursing CEU’s: 2

Basic EKG is a comprehensive course that helps the participant understand the electrical system of the heart and be able to interpret basic rhythms and identify arrhythmias. It is designed for participants preparing to take ACLS or for professionals who require basic rhythm recognition skills.

This course includes:

• Explanation of heart anatomy & basic electrophysiology
• Explain normal EKG measurements
• Recognize and understand the basic arrhythmias

What is Heart Code

Blended learning is called HeartCode. It is a combination of eLearning, in which a student completes part of the course in a self-directed manner online at their convenience, followed by a hands-on skills session. The hands-on skills session is completed in person with an AHA instructor . Please contact KSRN Certification LLC to schedule the hands-on skills portion.
