Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) brings together high-level resuscitation science, teamwork, and rapid decision-making to manage cardiac arrest, peri-arrest rhythms, and other life-threatening cardiovascular emergencies. This session is designed for cardiologists, emergency physicians, intensivists, anesthesiologists, nurses, and allied professionals who lead or support code teams in hospitals and pre-hospital settings. Participants explore how early recognition, prompt initiation of chest compressions, defibrillation when indicated, and structured post–cardiac arrest care can significantly improve survival and neurological outcomes.

Around the world, many clinicians actively seek an Cardiology conference to refresh their knowledge, gain simulation-based experience, and align practice with the latest resuscitation guidelines. This session emphasizes evidence-based algorithms for ventricular fibrillation, pulseless ventricular tachycardia, pulseless electrical activity, and asystole, while also addressing complex scenarios such as refractory arrest, shock-resistant rhythms, and peri-arrest bradycardia or tachycardia. Attendees will learn how to integrate high-quality CPR with airway management, pharmacologic therapy, and rapid rhythm identification, while maintaining clear communication and role clarity within the resuscitation team.

To ensure that resuscitation skills remain sharp beyond the classroom, the session explores how ACLS training courses can be embedded into hospital education programs, simulation centers, and regional networks. Participants will review strategies for running mock codes, using debriefing tools, and capturing performance data to drive quality improvement. Emphasis is placed on human factors such as situational awareness, leadership under pressure, closed-loop communication, and mitigation of cognitive overload during high-stress events. Practical tips will highlight how to adapt ACLS principles in resource-variable settings, specialty units, and diverse patient populations, including older adults and those with complex comorbidities.

The session also covers post-resuscitation care, including hemodynamic stabilization, targeted temperature management, airway and ventilatory strategies, and structured neurological evaluation. Attendees will see how integrated pathways—from initial collapse through ICU admission and onward to rehabilitation—determine long-term functional outcomes. By combining guideline-based protocols, real-world cases, and hands-on discussion of common pitfalls, this session supports professionals who want to elevate their resuscitation systems, reduce preventable deaths, and deliver consistent, high-quality cardiovascular emergency care.
