Advanced Life Support (ALS) American Red Cross Resuscitation in Action (RIA)

The ALS-RIA course is designed to accompany the HealthStream course “American Red Cross-Advanced Life Support”. This in person course will teach you the lifesaving skills required to be both a team member and a Team Leader for acutely ill adult patients in an in-hospital setting.  Because the ALS Course covers extensive material in a short time, you will need to prepare for the course beforehand.

You should prepare for class by doing the following:

  1. Review and understand the information in the HealthStream course “American Red Cross-Advanced Life Support. YOU MUST SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE THIS ON LINE COURSE TO ATTEND THE IN PERSON CLASS. It is estimated that this course takes approximately 4- 6 hours to complete, so please give yourself enough time to complete it.

  3. If you do not bring a copy of your ALS completion certificate with you when you arrive for class, you will not be allowed to enter the class, no exceptions.  If you are unable to print the completion, please take a picture of it and we will handle it in class.
  4. Study the pharmacology in your book to review your drugs, indications, doses and contraindications.  You must know this material before coming to class.
    Ensure that your adult BLS skills and knowledge are current for the resuscitation scenarios. At the beginning of the ALS Course, you will be tested on adult high-quality BLS skills, using a feedback manikin. You must know these skills in advance because the ALS Course will not teach you how to do CPR or use an AED.

You will be practicing skills that require you to work on your hands and knees, and the course requires bending, standing, and lifting. If you have any physical conditions that might prevent you from engaging in these activities, please tell an instructor.
