Annaliza Keown says
If a patient was treated with Epinephrine x 2 for PEA then converts to a shockable rhythm, do we immediately should Amiodorone be given next or shall Epinephrine be given again?
ACLS says
Amiodarone is typically introduced after the third shock in the VF/pVT algorithm if the rhythm remains shockable.
In this case, you would not immediately give amiodarone after the first shock for the newly converted shockable rhythm.

To acls,
I just found your site and look forward to using it for review. my question is, if I sign up on my home computer which is where I will be using you the most, how hard is it to my cell phone?
ACLS says
You can use any device that you would like to use at any time. The site is mobile friendly and should be very easy to view on mobile devices or on desktops/laptops.
Kind regards,
Jeff

Hi Jeff, thank you so much for the website. I registered to aha acls course less than two weeks before the date, and knew almost nothing about acls algorithm. Found your website from search engine and subscribed immediately and only learn for the course from this website. Guess what? Scored perfect (100%) in the written test and only missed one point in the megacode. This is a really recommended website for acls student. No doubt at all. You did a very good job Jeff
ACLS says
Hi Muhamad,

Kind regards, Jeff

Jeff,
Thank you for a wonderful website. I reviewed your material on ACLS for my recertification a few weeks ago. I learned more from you than from the AHA heart code course. I did fairly well on the pre test and received a 96 on the written exam. I had to test my skills at a local hospital with their ACLS instructor and passed with flying colors. I will definitely use your website again in 2 years when I have to do ACLS again. I highly recommended your website to my coworkers. Thanks again.

Hi Jeff
I’m not sure if I posted for 2018. But, I just wanted to thank you ONCE AGAIN for this great website. I was able to hone in on my areas of weakness, strengthen them and I passed my ACLS with flying colors. I do not believe I would have done as well without your site! This is a great site and I recommended it everyone. Thank you!
