Rapid rhythm identification is an essential part of ACLS, and providers must have the ability to recognize and treat all of the most common rhythms that occur during emergency situations. The videos provided in the Rapid Rhythm Identification Library are practice tools to help you become comfortable with identifying all of the major rhythms that are treated using the ACLS protocol. Each video contains rhythms that you must identify and random questions about ECG rhythms and their treatment. These videos are designed to prepare you for ACLS certification and also for real-world situations.
Before watching a rapid rhythm identification video, you may want to prepare by reviewing the pages on ECG rhythm interpretation.

I too loved the music but learned so much from this site. I appreciate all the work that went into making this the great learning tool. Perfect !
Lisa Parker says
This website is excellent for the visual learner! i have learned more the past few hours by viewing this website then a whole day of just reading out of an ACLS book. It is interactive and actually makes learning more fun then just a bunch of words on pages! Thank you:)

Really enjoy learning with this site. I agree with Lindsey, It’s so much easier to understand than the book. 🙂

Lindsey Yawn says
Thanks so much, Chris. I feel like a total goof for asking, seriously. 🙂 I’m now thinking about it like this: Coarse VFib looks kind of like wiggling Jello. No regularity to it!
Lindsey Yawn says
Quick and probably stupid question, but why is the rhythm in the first video at 01:47 VTach instead of coarse VFib? I know, it’s probably a dumb thing to ask!
I am loving this site so much! I know it will help me pass ACLS. It’s so much easier to understand than the book! Thanks so much!
Chris with admin. says
VTach is a wide complex regular rhythm. V-Fib just looks like a quivering baseline with no regularity. I hope this helps.
