PeRLS: Perioperative Resuscitation and Life Support vs ACLS

The only resuscitation certificate built for anesthesia professionals and the perioperative care team.

In this ASA-exclusive document you will find comparison of:

• A curriculum designed specifically for perioperative care teams — Anesthesiologists, CRNAs, CAAs, Surgeons, and O.R. and procedural staff
• In-depth education on high-risk events unique to surgical and procedural settings — not the general clinical focus of ACLS
• Strategies for keeping patients safe and preventing cardiac crisis before it starts, rather than just responding to it
• Basic life support education tailored to the perioperative team, included in the bundle
• CME and ABA MOCA^® Patient Safety credits — all in one course
• Meets the same Joint Commission and regulatory resuscitation requirements as ACLS
• A streamlined online format: just 5–6 hours vs. 10–12 hours for ACLS, completed anytime, anywhere, with 2-year renewal
