. Algorithms for Advanced Cardiac Life Support 2018 Jul 27, 2018 Version control: This document is current with respect to 2015 American Heart Association® Guidelines for CPR and ECC. These guidelines are current until they are replaced on October 2020. If you are reading this page after October 2020, please contact ACLS Training Center at support@acls.net for an updated document. One of the crucial components of effective ACLS training is a familiarity with the major algorithms for different patient and/or provider scenarios. As a free resource for our visitors, this page contains links to sample algorithms for the main AHA Advanced Cardiac Life Support cases.

Compatible part number: 90-1013, 90-1010. We now sell laminated 8.5'x11' ( $60 $40 set of 8) and ($80 set of 9). PEA/Asystole Algorithm Your task for this case is to assess and manage a patient in cardiac arrest who has pulseless electrical activity (PEA). Although the ECG shows organized cardiac electrical activity, the patient is unresponsive with no palpable pulse. Because finding and identifying an underlying cause is critical to patient outcome, the team searches for possible causes for PEA as they administer CPR. With asystole, you search with other members of the emergency care team for a treatable cause while performing high quality CPR with minimal interruptions.

IV/IO placement is a priority over advanced airway management. The team discusses when to terminate resuscitation efforts and focus on supporting the patient's family. VF/Pulseless VT Algorithm This case presents how to respond to someone who collapses outside of the hospital setting from either ventricular fibrillation (VF) or ventricular tachycardia (VT).

You are alone and must manage the patient by yourself. You do not have the option of ACLS interventions, including advanced airway control and IV medications. You have an automated external defibrillator (AED) with a pocket face mask. The second AED case focuses on the assessment and management of a patient in a witnessed cardiac arrest caused by ventricular fibrillation (VF) or pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT). The patient did not respond to the first shock.

A manual defibrillator is used in this case, and you work with a care team. Tachycardia Algorithms This case presents the assessment and management of a stable patient with a pulse who has a heart rate greater than 100 bpm. Your tasks are to classify the tachycardia as narrow or wide, regular or irregular, and to implement the appropriate interventions from the ACLS Tachycardia Algorithm, including vagal maneuvers and adenosine. Monitor the patient's rhythm and request a cardiac consultation if the patient's rhythm does not convert. If the patient becomes unstable, follow the algorithm for unstable tachycardia. For unstable tachycardia, you evaluate the patient for cardioversion and perform the procedure. Drugs are not used to manage unstable tachycardia.

Suspected Stroke Algorithm This case presents the identification ( Prehospital Stroke Scale) and initial management of patients with acute ischemic stroke, a sudden change in neurological function brought on by a change in blood flow to the brain. This case is in scope for ACLS providers and covers fundamental out-of-hospital care, as well as basic aspects of initial in-hospital acute stroke care. This includes out-of-hospital and in-hospital situations, and National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) time goals.

Provider Manuals What sets ACLS Medical Training apart from other online ACLS, PALS, and BLS certification sites is the quality of the provider manuals. Physicians, nurses, and paramedics have carefully crafted these provider manuals using the latest American Heart Association guidelines and peer-reviewed, primary medical literature. We are so confident in the quality of our provider manuals, that we let you review them before you sign up for an ACLS Medical Training course.

Aha Bls Certification

We are confident that once you see the quality of our ACLS, PALS, and BLS provider manuals, you will certify or renew with ACLS Medical Training. Each provider manual is provided in a Portable Document Format (PDF) so that you can take it with you on your digital device, wherever you go, online or off. At ACLS Medical Training, we are committed to helping our users study for ACLS, PALS, and BLS certification and recertification on their own time.

Download the provider manuals, print them out or study them on your tablet PC—refer to them any time you have time to study. Then sign up for one (or more) of our courses and take the certification or recertification examination. Once you pass the exam, you are certified!
