Our ACLS practice exam includes questions pulled directly from a real ACLS exam.
Adult Cardiac Arrest Algorithm
The Cardiac Arrest Algorithm ACLS code is the most critical algorithm of ACLS in 2024. When you have a patient without a pulse, you must recognize either ventricular fibrillation (VF) or pulseless ventricular tachycardia (pVT) as shockable rhythms.
View AlgorithmCardiac Arrest Circular Algorithm
This algorithm is a summary of the recommended steps when a patient is in cardiac arrest. Starting with CPR, you’ll work through the sequence by relying on rhythm checks, shocks if VF/pVT, and drug delivery.
View AlgorithmSuspected Stroke Algorithm
The ACLS 2024 Suspected Stroke Algorithm emphasizes critical actions for out-of-hospital and in-hospital care and treatment. A stroke is an interruption in blood supply to a part of the brain that causes acute neurologic impairment.
View AlgorithmPost-Cardiac Arrest Care Algorithm
This ACLS flowchart will take you through implementing a comprehensive treatment protocol for post-cardiac arrest care. This case applies to a patient who has had a cardiac arrest and was resuscitated with the BLS, ACLS Primary, and ACLS Secondary Assessments.
View AlgorithmAcute Coronary Syndromes Algorithm
The steps of this ACLS algorithm for 2024 outline the assessment and management guidelines for patients in experiencing symptoms suggestive of ischemia or infarction.
View AlgorithmBradycardia With A Pulse Algorithm
The Bradycardia Algorithm ACLS code provides the information you need to assess and manage a patient with symptomatic bradycardia or a heart rate under 50 bpm. For some people (like runners), a slower heart rate may be normal, and they will be asymptomatic.
View AlgorithmTachycardia With A Pulse Algorithm
With this ACLS algorithm, you'll need to determine if the patient is stable or unstable by evaluating and specifying if the rhythm is regular or irregular and if the QRS is wide or narrow. This ACLS flowchart can help you detect the type of tachyarrhythmia.
