ADVANCED STROKE LIFE SUPPORT (ASLS)

There are 3 tracks available for students to learn how to assess and manage stroke emergencies: prehospital, in-hospital, and a third track that covers both settings. Learning objectives for these tracks include:

Prehospital Provider Course:

• Highlights the principles of prehospital stroke management that make up the current standard of care, such as determining when to call
• A stroke alert and quickly transport the patient to the nearest appropriate facility
• Explains how to communicate the patient’s symptoms, time of onset, and neuro-logic exam clearly and succinctly with hospital personnel

In-Hospital Provider Course:

• Focuses on the importance of an organized approach to treating stroke patients for improved outcomes
• Discusses the etiologic evaluation and secondary stroke prevention for stroke patients
• Describes the management of goals for acute ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, and subarachnoid hemorrhage
• Outlines post-acute care management including supportive medical care, rehabilitation, and discharge planning for stroke patients

Prehospital & In-Hospital Provider Course:

• Combines all of the components of the Prehospital and In-Hospital courses, and is best suited for healthcare providers who work in both environments, as well as ASLS instructor candidates that will be conducting the in-person skills testing for learners from both audiences
