Algorithms
Our simple process makes it easy for health care providers to be certified or recertified in ACLS / PALS / BLS. Certification demonstrates you understand each ACLS / PALS / BLS algorithm, and can manage and treat any patient who is experiencing a cardiovascular emergency. Certification also shows you can help patients who may be progressing towards a cardiovascular emergency.
Adult Cardiac Arrest Vertical Algorithm
Primary Algorithm of ACLS. Can include asystole, PEA, ventricular fibrillation, and pulseless ventricular tachycardia.
Adult Cardiac Arrest Circular Algorithm.
Circular representation of cardiac arrest algorithm including medications and possible causes. Includes guidelines for CPR technique, defibrillation settings, drug therapy, airway management, and causes.
Adult Post Cardiac Arrest Algorithm
Pathway outlining care after ROSC (return of spontaneous respiration) is obtained. Includes blood pressure goals and TTM (targeted temperature management) guidelines.
Adult Bradycardia With A Pulse Algorithm
Bradyarrythmia algorithm including medications, pacing criteria, and clinical signs of bradycardia and shock.
Adult Tachycardia With a Pulse Algorithm
Tachyarrythmia algorithm including criteria, medications, wide vs. narrow, and cardioversion.
Acute Coronary Syndrome Algorithm
Pathway outlining care of the cardiac patient in the presence of myocardial ischemia. Includes medications, STEMI, NSTEMI, and low/intermediate risk ACS.
Suspected Stroke Algorithm
Comprehensive pathway outlining stroke care, including goal times for imaging and treatment.
All Adult Algorithms
All Adult Algorithms combined into one convenient pdf.
Pediatric Basic Life Support - Single Rescuer
Foundational pathway for PALS when only one rescuer is present. Emphasizes high quality, uninterrupted compressions.
Pediatric Basic Life Support - 2 or more Rescuers
Similar to single rescuer algorithm, but different compression / ventilation ratios. Includes pediatric energy settings for defibrillation.
Pediatric Cardiac Arrest
Primary algorithm of PALS. Can include asystole, PEA, ventricular fibrillation, pulseless ventricular tachycardia. Includes shock energies for defibrillation, and drug dosages.
Pediatric Bradycardia with Pulse
Systematic approach algorithm addressing decreased heart rate and secondary hypoperfusion / shock in the pediatric patient. Includes drug dosages.
Pediatric Tachycardia with Pulse
Systematic approach algorithm addressing increased heart rate, including SVT and VT in the pediatric patient. Includes drug dosages and shock energies for cardioversion.
