Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) is a set of clinical algorithms for the urgent treatment of cardiac arrest, stroke, and other life-threatening cardiovascular emergencies. It expands upon Basic Life Support (BLS) by incorporating advanced medical procedures, pharmacological interventions, and high-performance team dynamics to improve survival rates. Core Pillars of ACLS supraglottic devices). For shockable rhythms
Providers must rapidly identify four primary cardiac arrest rhythms:
Establishing IV/IO access, administering fluids/medications, and monitoring CPR quality.
