Keep care team members' skills up to date with highly rated, anesthesia-centric advanced life support, resuscitation, and crisis management. Includes advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) training and skills evaluation specific to anesthesiologists and the perioperative care team.
Focus on issues unique to patients under anesthesia or in the perioperative setting to efficiently advance skills. Rather than revisiting skills anesthesia care team members practice every day, PeRLS concentrates on low-frequency, high-impact events that can make the biggest difference when the stakes are highest.
This content-rich, five-module course emphasizes critical thinking and real-world perioperative scenarios for the best possible patient outcomes.
Through challenging scenarios, interactive activities, access to algorithms, knowledge checks, and a post-test, you'll learn to identify uncommon cardiac conditions and rescue patients in crisis in the perioperative setting.

“This course is a jewel. It is full of extraordinary pearls to organize the thought process around management of acute emergencies.”
“Convenient to work through at my own pace/during down time and content was very relevant.”
“Real life and realistic scenarios for rare processes.”
“Very helpful in framing different aspects of cardiac arrest and pre-arrest states.”
“Better than an ACLS class for anesthesiologists, since it is more relevant and has more advanced management issues.”
