🏥 Pediatric emergencies do not only happen in children’s hospitals.

A child can deteriorate in a school health room, urgent care center, outpatient clinic, dental practice, ambulance, or general hospital unit. Would your team recognize the warning signs and know what to do next?

PEARS® training helps healthcare providers build the skills to:
🫁 Recognize respiratory distress and failure
🩸 Identify signs of shock
🫀 Respond to cardiopulmonary arrest
🤝 Communicate effectively during an emergency

Through realistic scenarios and hands-on practice, ACLS Academy prepares providers to recognize pediatric deterioration, begin appropriate care, and support a safe transfer when advanced treatment is needed.

Pediatric emergencies can happen anywhere. Is your healthcare team prepared?

More than 350,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in the United States each year, and approximately 9 in 10 people do not survive.

During Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month, take time to learn the actions that can give someone a chance:

❤️ Recognize sudden collapse and abnormal breathing
📞 Call 911
🙌 Begin CPR
⚡ Find and use an AED

AEDs are designed for members of the public to use. Once turned on, the device provides step-by-step spoken instructions and only recommends a shock when one is appropriate.

A large percentage of cardiac arrests happen at home. The person who needs your help may be someone you love.

Sometimes, it sounds like:
“I’m just tired.”
“Maybe it’s indigestion.”
“I’ll feel better after I rest.”

But subtle symptoms can signal something serious. High blood pressure may have no noticeable warning signs, while a heart attack may present as fatigue, shortness of breath, nausea, or discomfort in the back, jaw, or chest.

This World Heart Day, take a closer look at the symptoms that are easy to dismiss, the solutions that can save lives, and the systems that help people respond quickly.

The World Heart Federation’s message is clear: Don’t Miss a Beat.

Our latest blog explores three essential parts of the response:
❤️ Symptoms
❤️ Solutions
❤️ Systems

Because recognizing the unexpected signs may be the first lifesaving action.

The first minutes after birth require a specialized kind of preparedness.

A newborn emergency is not simply a pediatric emergency involving a smaller patient. The physiology, priorities, equipment, and sequence of care are different, with effective ventilation often at the center of the response.

👶 Who should take NRP
👶 Essentials versus Advanced curricula
👶 Skills taught through simulation
👶 Communication and delivery room teamwork
👶 The current Ninth Edition curriculum

Prepare for the first critical minutes after birth with ACLS Academy.

🫀 Knowing your cholesterol number is important. Understanding what it means for your individual risk is where prevention truly begins.

📊 The landmark 2026 ACC/AHA dyslipidemia guideline brings back specific LDL cholesterol goals, introduces the PREVENT risk calculator, recommends that every adult have an Lp(a) test at least once, and encourages earlier action to reduce lifelong cardiovascular risk.

🧪 This National Cholesterol Education Month, take a closer look at the numbers, tests, and treatment goals reshaping cholesterol care.

🌟 A Nation of Lifesavers grows from the ground up! 🌟

What happens when two high school students decide their community should know how to save a life?

Lauren and Evan Li founded Heart for Care and helped bring free CPR and AED certification to approximately 50 students in Newton. ❤️

With support from ACLS Academy founders Dr. Shelley Lynch and Chad Lynch, along with fellow ACLS Academy instructors, their idea became hands-on training—and a growing network of young lifesavers.

Because preparedness does not start in an emergency. It starts when someone chooses to act before one happens.

Lauren and Evan are helping make CPR education more accessible, empowering their peers to respond with confidence, and showing what youth leadership can do for an entire community. 🙌

Stroke care changed in 2026.

The new AHA/ASA guidelines expand treatment possibilities for certain patients, endorse tenecteplase alongside alteplase, broaden thrombectomy eligibility, refine EMS destination decisions, and introduce the first detailed guidance for pediatric acute ischemic stroke.

But new evidence can only improve outcomes when healthcare professionals are prepared to recognize stroke, communicate clearly, and act within an organized system.

Our latest blog explores the major guideline updates and the practical assessment and response skills developed through Advanced Stroke Life Support® training.

You're already taking the class...

Why not earn Continuing Education credits at the same time?

When renewing your BLS, ACLS, PALS, or PEARS certification, choosing the right training provider can make all the difference.

At ACLS Academy, eligible courses are approved by the American Nurses Association of Massachusetts (ANA-MA) for Continuing Education credits, allowing many healthcare professionals to renew their certification while earning valuable CE credits during the same course.

It's one class.

Two professional benefits.
