  • Resumen

  • Like a daily audio flash card. This podcast is intended to aid any medical professional preparing for an Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) class. Each one-to-nine minute Flash Briefing-style episode covers one of the skills needed to recognize a stroke or cardiac emergency and work as a high-performing team to deliver quality care. Listening to a tip-of-the-day for 14-30 days prior to a class will help cement core concepts that have been shown to improve outcomes in patients suffering a heart attack, cardiac arrest, or stroke. In addition to the chain of survival core concepts and ACLS algorithms, specific information needed to pass the written exam and megacode following the 2020 guidelines is presented. Healthcare providers that are already ACLS certified may find listening a helpful reminder. Disclaimer: This podcast is a supplement to your course's approved text book and videos - not a replacement. The information presented is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice. Medical professionals should follow their local laws, agency protocols, and act only within their scope of practice.

  • Knowing When To Use Which ACLS Algorithm

    Knowing When To Use Which ACLS Algorithm
    Apr 28 2025

    The ACLS algorithms are designed to make it easier to remember the key interventions we should deliver, and the order in which they should be delivered, to provide the best evidence-based care possible.

    Generally speaking, if there’s a change in a patient’s condition, we should ensure we’re using the correct algorithm.

    Three key points to remember when using ACLS algorithms:

    1. If a patient’s condition changes, we should do an assessment and use the algorithm that matches the patient’s current state.

    2. If an action was already done, we don’t need to repeat it.

    3. We only do actions that are clinically appropriate and within our scope of practice.

    Walk through of an example mega code scenario with explanations of when and why we change to a different ACLS algorithm.

    Good luck with your ACLS class!

  • Beta Blocker Use in ACLS

    Beta Blocker Use in ACLS
    Apr 25 2025

    Beta blocking medications attach to Beta receptors to inhibit or “block” the effects of epinephrine (adrenaline)and norepinephrine in the body.

    The primary locations of Beta I, II, and III receptors.

    Effects of epinephrine & norepinephrine’s stimulation of beta receptors on the heart.

    Beta blockers effects on the heart.

    When we should consider the use of beta blockers in the Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS)and Tachycardia algorithms.

    Contraindications to the use of beta blocker medications.

    More detailed information about beta blocker’s mechanism of action and specific instances for their use can be found on the Pod Resource page at PassACLS.com.

    Good luck with your ACLS class!

  • Advanced Airways

    Advanced Airways
    Apr 24 2025

    This episode we are reviewing the use of advanced airways in the adult cardiac arrest algorithm.

    When we should consider insertion of an advanced airway for patients in a shockable vs non-shockable rhythm.

    In addition to an endotracheal tube (ETT), other ACLS advanced airways include the Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) and the Laryngeal Tube airway.

    The advantages of using an advanced airway over basic airway maneuvers.

    Use of end tidal CO2 waveform capnography to confirm placement and assess the adequacy of CPR.

    Identification and management of a misplaced ET tube.

    Good luck with your ACLS class!
