Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The cornerstone of resuscitation in patients of any age is high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), with an emphasis on chest compressions. This lesson will summarize the key points in the American Heart Association’s (AHA’s) guidelines for advanced cardiovascular life support (ACLS), including electrical therapy, pharmacology, airway, and postresuscitation care, while reiterating the essentials of basic life support (BLS) that provide the foundation for ACLS.
