Why an ECC Handbook is a key reference tool.
The 2020 edition of the Handbook of ECC incorporates the latest science and treatment recommendations from the 2020 AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC. This key reference tool, highly-popular among healthcare professionals, provides convenient, quick access to the latest resuscitation science and treatment information. It is often included on hospital crash carts and is accessed frequently in the field by EMS and other first responders. Organized by basic, advanced adult and pediatric life support, and newborn resuscitation, the handbook provides algorithms, protocols, sequences, drug dosages, and much more. It is intended for use by AHA and other instructors and students; personnel in emergency, intensive care, or critical care departments; emergency medical care providers; and regulators and policy makers. Features Available as a spiral-bound 4.5” x 6” book or as an eBook Includes simple, easy-to-use algorithms and drug treatment information Step-by-step guides and checklists to help healthcare providers perform accurate steps for quality care.
The AHA’s ACLS course builds on the foundation of lifesaving BLS skills, emphasizing the importance of preventing cardiac arrest, early and continuous high-quality CPR, and high-performing teams. The course reflects science and education from the 2020 American Heart Association Guidelines for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC).

- Discuss early recognition and management of stroke, including appropriate disposition
- Recognize bradycardias and tachycardias that may result in cardiac arrest or complicate resuscitation outcome
- Perform early management of bradycardias and tachycardias that may result in cardiac arrest or complicate resuscitation outcome
- Model effective communication as a member or leader of a high-performance team
- Recognize the impact of team dynamics on overall team performance
- Recognize respiratory arrest

- Perform prompt, high-quality BLS including prioritizing early chest compressions and integrating early automated external defibrillator (AED) use
- Perform early management of cardiac arrest until termination of resuscitation or transfer of care, including immediate post–cardiac arrest care
- Evaluate resuscitative efforts during a cardiac arrest through continuous assessment of CPR quality, monitoring the patient’s physiologic response, and delivering real-time feedback to the team
Achieving Accuracy: BP Measurement
Achieving Accuracy: BP Measurement
Improve your blood pressure measurement skills with the new Achieving Accuracy: BP Measurement e-Learning module co-developed by the American Heart Association and the American Medical Association.
High-quality patient care is the top priority for healthcare professionals (HCPs), and re-training is vital to improving accuracy in blood pressure (BP) measurement. High BP is a leading risk factor for heart attacks and strokes. Identifying and treating High BP is key to improving patients’ cardiovascular health.
Guidelines recommend all HCPs should periodically re-train on BP measurement techniques to ensure you consistently measure BP accurately every time.
Achieving Accuracy: BP Measurements intended for:
Physicians
- Nurses
- Physician assistants
- Allied health staff
- Pharmacists
- Medical Assistants
With this course, you will:
- Reinforce your knowledge on guideline recommended BP measurement techniques
- Learn the 5 essential steps to accurately measure and record BP using a manual, semi-automated, or automated device
- Boost your competency and confidence in BP measurement readings across the care team
- Receive 0.5 Continuing Education (CE) credit
