aoscienny says
In the Final Portion of the ACLS survey, the D stands for:
I choose Defibrillation
However the “correct” answer is Differential Diagnosis
I found this question confusing because I would refer the the final portion of the ACLS survey as the secondary survey, which is where I found “D” for differential diagnosis. Whereas, “D” in the end part of the primary survey in the unresponsive patient is Defibrillation and Disability.

I thought head tilt in cervical spine injuries is contraindicated
Jeff with admin. says
AHA ACLS Provider Manual pg. 49 under the Part 5 Respiratory Arrest: Subheading: Precautions for Trauma Patients: “In the trauma patient with suspected neck injury, use jaw thrust without head extension. Because maintaining a patent airway and providing ventilation are priorities, use a headtilt-chin lift maneuver if the jaw thrust is not effective….Use manual spinal motion restriction rather than immobilization devices. Manual spinal immobilization is safer.”
Kind regards,
Jeff

Jeff,
I feel question 8 can be mis-leading,,I choose D as it is circulation portion of ACLS..
I do see where you reference pg 16 in the manual and what it states there but still feeling this answer could be D.
Can you help my mind here..
Thank you.
Jeff with admin. says
The question is regarding the ACLS Survey. If the question were regarding the BLS survey then answer D would be correct. However, once you have progressed to the ACLS survey, the choices in D would have already been addressed.
Kind regards,
Jeff
coradcor says
i picked D at first cuz you’re supposed to call for help before anything else ( besides ensuring safety which wasn’t a choice). that threw me off. People, myself included, should beware of distractors in the questions and answer only what is provided.
Jeff with admin. says
Yes, The questions are meant to be very straight forward. Don’t read anything into them.
Kind regards,
Jeff
cyncd@comcast.net says
Question #10 states the D stands for, on page 16. Search for, find and treat reversible causes (i.e., definitive care)
I put definitive care and it was wrong. I don’t understand why.
Jeff with admin. says
The ABCD of the ACLS survey is Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Differential Diagnosis. See Ref. Pg. 36-37 of the AHA ACLS provider manual.
Definitive care means the place where a patient is take to get the care that they need. This does not have anything to do with Differential Diagnosis which means discovering the cause of the arrest.
Kind regards,
Jeff
mksarguro says
hi. the manual states tip of the nose to ear lobe for measurement, not angle of mandible.
Jeff with admin. says
This is the direct quote from the most recent AHA ACLS provider manual:
“AHA ACLS provider manual pg. 43 in the box under Step #2: “Proper selection of an OPA is performed by placing the OPA against the side of the face. When the tip of the OPA is at the corner of the mouth, the flange is at the angle of the mandible. A properly sized and inserted OPA results in proper alignment of the glottic opening.”
Kind regards,
Jeff
danimal says
The original poster was confusing the OPA selection with the NPA which is measured from the tip of the nose to the to the ear lobe pg 44.
Danny Ohlinger says
Thank you for your help. It’s been very helpful after my second time. Read too much into the test. Second time was a breeze.
vdaniel says
Was the second test the same questions as the first test?
danakbaker says
I love this site! I used it once before and am now using it to prepare for my recertification. 🙂
Kathy123456 says
Where can I get more ACLS study questions?
Jeff with admin. says
All of the test and questions have a main page. You can find the main pages in the left hand navigation under the heading “Quizzes and Scenarios.”
Kind regards,
Jeff
Kurt McNabb says
I love this study resource!
svdel says
Excellent clarification/explanation about the difference between BLS and ACLS survey. Thanks
MARILYN11 says
Jeff, thanks for this site. This site helped me master acls. I got my instructor certificate recently. I had to check off teaching alone with a cardiologist. I really enjoy this site and plan to continue to use it as a study tool for myself. Thanks again, Marilyn, Mississippi
jrf123 says
I think you have this mixed up: it should be from the center of the chin to the angle of the mandible or from the corner of the mouth to the spot where the earlobe attaches to the face

anesthetizer says
You are spot on! As an anesthetist I train CRNA students daily on how to measure for these devices. Thanks for offering an amazing learning tool.
jporter says
Hi Jeff,
For Q#4, are you sure that “Use a head tilt-chin lift maneuver” for a C-spine patient is the correct answer?
Thank you very much for your help.
Jeff with admin. says

Because maintaining a patent airway and providing ventilation are priorities, use a headtilt-chin lift maneuver if the jaw thrust is not effective….Use manual spinal motion restriction rather than immobilization devices. Manual spinal immobilization is safer.”
Kind regards,
Jeff
jporter says
What are the immobilization devices they are talking about? We use sand bags, towel rolls or NS bags. Are they not acceptable?
Jeff with admin. says
“The ACLS provider manual page 49 states: “Have another team member stabilize the head in a neutral position during airway manipulation. Use manual spinal motion restriction rather than immobilization devices. Manual spinal immobilization is safer. Cervical collars may complicate airway management and may even interfere with airway patency.”
Kind regards,
Jeff
jenperlman says
What is a combitube, where is it in the book? Thanks.
Jeff with admin. says
A combitube is a type of advanced airway. Here is an article about the combitube with a picture.
I don’t think that the book mentions it. Kind regards, Jeff
SP07 says
To jenperlman – A combitube is another word for the esophageal-tracheal tube
To Jeff – Thanks you for such a great ACLS resource site!
