  1. AHA ACLS manual pg. 11 & 59. CPR and defibrillation support the primary goal of BLS and ACLS which is to: “support and restore effective oxygenation, ventilation, and circulation with return of intact neurologic function.”
  2. AHA ACLS Manual pg. 60. Under the subheading: Overview it states: “The Cardiac Arrest Algorithm is the most important algorithm to know for adult resuscitation.”
  3. AHA ACLS Manual pg. 11. A systemic approach using the BLS and ACLS Survey ensures proper treatment/intervention for ROSC (return of spontaneous circulation).
  4. AHA ACLS Manual pg. 13 The BLS survey shown in a table on pg. 13 lists the 4 steps of the BLS Survey: 1. Check responsiveness; 2. Activate the emergency response system/get AED; 3. Circulation; and 4. Defibrillation. Not that opening the airway is not included in the BLS Survey.
  5. AHA ACLS Manual pg. 12. For BLS, emphasis has been placed on minimizing delays in chest compressions.
  6. AHA ACLS manual pg. 13. Step #4 in the BLS Survey states: “*Follow each shock immediately with CPR, beginning with compressions.”
  7. AHA ACLS manual pg. 63. “A cycle consists of 30 compressions followed by 2 ventilations in the patient without an advanced airway.”
  8. AHA ACLS manual pg. 48. “…Once an advanced airway is in place, chest compressions are no longer interrupted for ventilations…When ventilating through a properly placed advanced airway, give 1 breath every 6 to 8 seconds.”
  9. AHA ACLS manual pg. 54. The earlier the defibrillation occurs, the higher the survival rate.
  10. AHA ACLS manual pg. 46. “Suctions attemts should not exceed 10 seconds.”

    Hi jeff,
    I was getting nervous bec my ACLS exam will be in a few days and I dread reading the book, until out of the blue I stumbled into your website, I took the cram special and just followed your advice to download the library and make sure I go through all of the subjects.
    I took the ACLS today and passed. I missed out on one question because of carelessness, I felt so confident I knew the answer when I was reading the subject but it was paraphrased differently so without digesting the question I picked the wrong answer.
    Thank you, I could not have passed without your help through this website. You are Godsend. More power to you.
    I also learned a lot from your reply to all the questions from your subscribers, with how you answer I could sense that you have a kind heart.
    P.S. I told my colleagues and my daughter who is a fairly new nurse about your website. Thanks again, jeff and cris.
