• Recognize and manage respiratory arrest
• Recognize and manage cardiac arrest until termination of resuscitation or transfer of care, including post-cardiac arrest care

Upon successful completion of all course requirements, participants receive an ACLS EP Provider Course Completion Card which is valid for two years.
