AALS: Advanced Anesthesia Life Support

Perioperative resuscitation education for anesthesia professionals.

The AALS course is a self-paced program for anesthesia providers managing peri-arrest deterioration, cardiac arrest, and crisis events in the operating room. It focuses on physiology, reversible causes, and anesthesia-specific decision making beyond standard ACLS.

What the AALS Course Covers:

  • Anesthesia-specific resuscitation considerations 
  • 20 learning modules
  • Interactive learning activities
  • Perioperative scenarios
  • Life support beyond standard algorithms
  • Certificate of course completion
  • Recognition and management of perioperative cardiac arrest

HOW AALS DIFFERS FROM ACLS IN ANESTHESIA

An anesthesia-specific approach to perioperative resuscitation

AALS differs from standard ACLS by focusing on the physiologic drivers of perioperative collapse rather than generalized cardiac arrest algorithms, with an emphasis on clinical decision making required before, during, and after perioperative cardiac arrest. It addresses gaps left by one-size-fits-all resuscitation education by emphasizing context, pattern recognition, and anesthesia-specific clinical reasoning.
