2012 ACLS Guidelines Test
2012 ACLS Guideline Changes. Are You Ready?
Beginning in January 2010, all over the United States, health care providers have been integrating their practice to the new 2010-2015 ACLS Guidelines. There were significant changes made to several aspects of the ACLS protocol including, an addition of a 5th link in the chain of survival, waveform capnography, simplified pulseless arrest algorithm, simplified tachycardia algorithm, medication changes, and much more.
To assist you in preparation for ACLS certification and testing based on these 2010 ACLS Guideline changes, we have created a 25 question test covering all of the major changes that you may run into during testing and certification.

Jeff: I just wanted to thank you for this wonderful site! I took my ACLS test yesterday and got a 100% on the written test and did great on the megacode also. I have told everyone I work with about this website. I would not have passed ACLS without you!!! Thank you again!!!
I work in a cardiac Cath Lab. During an intervention of the RCA, the wire went sub-intimal, and caused a linear dissection. The patient suddenly went into VFib. We shocked the patient (per DR’s orders) three times in a row with no luck. We then started compressions and shocked again after 2 minutes of compression, and the patient converted to sinus bradycardia. Should we have just shocked once, then went to compressions instead ? Thanks for your comments.
Being that the VF was a sudden onset with a definite cause and the circulation had been compromised for such a short time, I can see how the physician would have opted to attempt the 2nd and 3rd shocks. If I were a physician, I may have made the same decision given the situation. My thoughts are that the shocks would seem like the most logical intervention, but I think that 2 shocks would have been my stopping point to begin CPR. AHA states that health care providers can tailor the interventions to the most likely cause of the arrest and it sounds like you all did that. Regards, Jeff
Hello,
I just wanted to thank you for all the effort you put into this website, It has proved to be an excellent learning and studying tool for me. The questions on the actual ACLS exam were very similar to your practice questions and the megacodes on this website really helped me put everything together. I took the ACLS exam yesterday, passed the written test with a 92, and passed the practical portion of the testing with flying colors. I am graduating from nursing school in a few weeks and many of my fellow students will be looking to take the ACLS course. I am going to let everyone know about this website! Thanks again. You can bet I’ll be using this website again when it comes time to get recertified.
I would like to know the main differences and changes in acls
