Description
2020 ACLS Provider Manual
The 2020 ACLS Provider Manual is the official text for the American Heart Association’s Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support certification and recertification course. It is required for healthcare professionals who direct or take part in managing cardiopulmonary arrest, acute arrhythmias, stroke and acute coronary syndromes. The manual reflects the 2020 AHA Guidelines Update for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care.
It builds on basic life support skills, with material on continuous, high quality CPR and how advanced interventions fit around it. Step by step algorithms and clinical scenarios walk providers through recognizing and treating periarrest conditions, using advanced airway management, and giving the right pharmacology.
Advanced interventions and pharmacology
The manual covers protocols for advanced airway management, IV and IO access, and emergency pharmacology, the tools a provider reaches for once basic life support measures are underway.
Leading a resuscitation team
A section covers the communication and team dynamics a multi rescuer resuscitation team needs under pressure, including how to lead a team and how to function within one during a cardiac arrest response.
