Heart Monitor Instructions
We will be using DART sim heart monitors for our training. Please download and review the instruction manual so you're familiar with how they function. You can ignore pages 5, 6, and 7 as we will not be using those features in the class.
Optional material
Santiam CPR will be providing the ACLS provider manual and reference cards for you to use during the class. You will be able to use this book for the test. It would be helpful for you to review the book prior to class. You can purchase this information online. These are very helpful to pass the pre-test. Here are the links to AHA's online store:
