There are many variables in response situations
EMAN Khamis says
thank you
Dale says
Jeff, I beg to differ ! Your sequence is worded out of order. Yes, C does in fact = Compressions as apposed to circulation of old however, 2011-12 AHA guidelines clearly state; ” Tap and Shout, then look for absent or abnormal breathing, shout for help / get the AED, check a pulse minimum of 5 sec, no longer than 10 sec, chest compressions x 30 , THEN open the airway and give your initial two breaths. Our goal as we must remember is to circulate the residual oxygen rich blood while it lasts. This is why the whole “look listen and feel” portion of the assessment has been restructured and removed from initial assessment, because we were wasting time. I do want to tell you, thank you for the web site. It’s great ! I will refer others to it .

The question is simply asking what the sequence of CPR is. Attempting to get people to recognize the change from A-B-C to C-B-A.
Cesar says
I believe it is not C B A but C A B, am i not correct?
Jeff with admin. says
correct. CAB: compressions—airway—breathing.
Sarah says
For question 5 the answer is out of sequence according to the new CPR guideline. They like C-A-B now. Also, if the arrest was witnessed you would defibrillator the pt right away.
Jeff with admin. says
Compressions=C Open Airway=A Check Breathing=B ; this is the correct sequence according to the New ACLS Guidelines. If the defibrillator was available at the time of collapse you would defibrillate immediately.—Jeff
kathy brown says
good quality cpr and early defibrillator is a major factor in how a code will turn out
Joanne says
After the AED delivers a shock, aren’t you supposed to wait for it to re-analyze the rhythm before performing chest compressions? What if a normal rhythm returns!?! I don’t think you’re supposed to be performing compressions on someone who doesn’t need it. Is this a new rule? If so. what is the rationale. Thank You
Jeff with admin. says
You would follow the instructions given by the AED. The AED should tell you to immediately begin CPR. AED’s are programed to do a 5 cycles of CPR prior to rhythm re-analysis. AHA protocol for Cardiac Arrest Algorithm whether you are using an AED or a defibrillator is to start CPR after a shock and AED’s are programmed in this way. —Jeff
Grace Klisura says
This question assumes you only have a wirnessed arrest in settings with defibrillator on hand. But we can witness an arrest out in the field, home, malls, etc. Then compression if no pulse until defib comes
Jeff with admin. says
The reason why the answer to question #9 is “early defibrillation” is that the earlier the defibrillation occurs, the higher the survival rate (pg. 54 AHA ACLS manual). So whether a defibrillator is present or not, defibrillation remains the most important intervention in witness sudden cardiac arrest. Of course if a defibrillator is not available, you will begin CPR.—Jeff
Pamela Gulley says
Does this website coincide with the Ameican Heart Association ACLS material?
Jeff with admin. says
All materials at acls-algorithms.com are accurate for the 2010-2015 AHA ACLS guidelines.

hai,
I have never seen any site like this.This is absolutely very helpful and interesting.
Thank you,
wendy crowell says
what exact day will the changes go into effect? I take my National Registry test on January 3rd. Thanks,
Wendy C 🙂
Jeff with admin. says
Hi Wendy,
Actually, the up-to-date guideline changes went into October 2010 and will be effective through 2015.
