Make a difference in healthcare
with an ACLS-r certification course!
The Advanced Cardiac Life Support for Radiologists course
is provided by the Université de Montréal (UdeM) Faculty of
Medicine in partnership with CAE Healthcare. The objective is
to improve the practical skills of healthcare professionals and
medical students when dealing with victims of cardiac or
cardiopulmonary arrest.
The course will take place at the UdeM Faculty of Medicine
Medical Simulation Centre on eight specialized mannequins
and will be given by instructors that have been accredited by
the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Quebec (HSFQ).
A participant/instructor ratio of eight to one ensures
a customized practice that can be adapted to the
requirements of your team of professionals.

Healthcare created a solid research and
development partnership to apply CAE’s unique
know-how and knowledge in simulationbased training to the healthcare sector. This
aviation expertise brings innovative practices
to healthcare training. The combined effort of
these two groups has led to the development of
educational, technological and service solutions
which improve and strengthen the safety and
efficiency of patient care delivery.
The courseware and education based on
CAE Healthcare simulation are designed to offer
structured and accessible training according
to individual learning paces and schedules of
medical students and healthcare professionals.

• ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life Support)
Objectives
At the end of this course, participants should be able to :
1. R
ecognize and initiate early management of conditions that may result
in cardiac arrest or complicate the resuscitation outcome.
2. D
emonstrate proficiency in providing Basic Life Support care, including
providing effective chest compressions and integrating AED use.
3. M
anage cardiac arrest until return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC),
termination of resuscitation, or transfer of care.
4. Identify and treat patients with acute coronary syndromes.
5. R
ecognize life threatening situations such as anaphylactic reactions,
and provide effective initial care and transfer to reduce disability and
death.
6. D
emonstrate effective communication as a member of a resuscitation
team and recognize the impact of team dynamics on overall team
performance.
7. R
ecognize the predictors for potential airway complications, select
patients based on these factors and mobilise the required resources
for safe sedation.
Here is some feedback from the students:
