H's & T's - Underlying Causes of Cardiac Arrest ACLS & PALS Online Prep Course #1 $35

This online course covers the 10 most common underlying causes of cardiac arrest and how to treat them. It integrates the Guidelines 2010 algorithms with the most recent science and treatment protocols. If you need a refresher before taking either ACLS or PALS this online video course is the best we have found. This online course offers a certificate for 3 hours CE after passing the online final exam. CA BRN Provider #13886

If you prefer, go to our Homestudy CE page where you may purchase the H's & T's DVD to study at your leisure. You will also receive a final exam paper which you complete and mail or fax back to us to receive your 3 CE credits (with a passing score of 80% or better).

ECG for Everyone ACLS & PALS Online Prep Course #2 $35

This online course teaches how an ECG pattern is generated, normal sinus rhythms, and identifying characteristics of the most common arrythmias taught in ACLS and PALS & integrates this knowledge with the Guidelines 2010 algorithms. This is the best video based course we have found for teaching how to read ECG's and the basic ACLS algorithms. It works well as a stand alone prep for ACLS & PALS or partners well with "Underlying Causes of Cardiac Arrest" to give a complete prep for ACLS or PALS. This online course offers a certificate for 3 hours CE after passing the online final exam. CA BRN Provider #13886
