    I completed and passed what I hope is my final ACLS class. I really enjoyed using your site — the megacodes were my favorite and probably gave me the best preparation available. Thank you so much!

    Very well done site.Just got recertified and felt more confident. Thank you much…Be back in 2 years! But will recommend highly to friends.

    I am an oral and maxillofacial surgeon and with my dental background do not have the same medical training as most of you. I used to dread the ACLS recert although somehow I’ve always managed to pass. This course made it educational, fun, and much easier than in the past. For the first time in 30 years I’ll take the test feeling confident and fully prepared. Best of all, I know if someone goes down in my office, I am well trained and fully prepared to handle the situation. Thanks for all your efforts to put this site together. Dave

    thank you Jeff, for answering all my questions, and even taking up the pretest to answer my query..
    wishing you success,

    Thanks Jeff, for for answering all my questions on this forum.
    I was taking the AHA pretest, and I could not deduce the rationale behind tHe answer for this question.. could you please clarify?

    Q: A patient is in refractory V Fib. High quality CPR is in progress, and shocks have been given. One dose of epi given after second shock. An anti arrhythmic was given immediately after third shock. What drug should be given next?

    I chose the option “repeat the anti arrythmic”
    But the right answer indicated was “repeat epi”

    The VF/pulseless VT algorithm doesnt mention epi after amiodarone?
    are we supposed to choose epi because epi is supposed to be repeated every 3-5 minutes and we must assume that that much time would’ve elapsed adn hence repeat epi?
    or ahould we go back to the CPR wit epi step after amiodarone is given and rhythm check is done and repeat the algorithm from there?

    thank you,
    janani

      I went in and took that quiz. The choices were “repeat the antiarrhythmic drug”
      or “second dose of epinephrine 1mg.” In this case I would have chosen the epinephrine because it sounds like you are repeating the same dose of the antiarrhythmic drug. It did not say anything about giving 150mg rather than 300mg. In this case, I would have chosen the epinephrine.
      Technically, if they would have said “give 150mg amiodarone” or “give 1mg epinephrine,” either one could have been true.
      Hope this makes sense.
      Kind regards, Jeff

    Just took my ACLS renewal yesterday and scored a 96% on the written exam. Coming from a girl with pretty bad anxiety leading up to this test every two years–THANK YOU! I will definitely be visiting this site again in 2015. The megacode scenarios and practice quizzes are great.

    This is a great tool to study ACLS. Just took my test on 1/23/13 and got an 96%! I recomended ACLS Algorithms.com to all my class mates when they are to recirtify. I wasnt stressed at all during testing and was able to just have fun with it… had a blast.
    Again thank you and see you in two.

    I was having some issues and the fact that you took the time and called ment a lot to me, that’s add to the whole great experience.
    Thanks, Hagir

    Hi guys

    I just got certified! With the AHA manual not being much of a help, I first turned to the usual books (Dubin’s EKG and Aehlert’s ACLS study guide). They provide a sound theoretical background, but your site helped me tremendously by letting me actually think about the algorithms. Great preparation for the megacodes.

    So, thanks again and cheers!

    Thanks to this website, I passed my ACLS today. The logarithm scenarios and the sample questions were a great help. Thanks Jeff. J Villariza, RN

    Took ACLS for the 1st time today and passed with flying colors thanks to this awesome website!! I definitely recommend it!!

    Thank you

    This is the best $10 I have ever spent! Even beats a high end Margarita!. So simple to follow, presented in a way that helps to visualize the live testing of mega-codes. I have been taking ACLS for 32 years (16 times) and always finish the class saying “I studied too much” but was afraid to study too little. With this study guide I feel confident that I know the material but didn’t spend endless hours reviewing.
    Thank you SO MUCH. I think that you are a great person to offer it at such a low price because many would probably be happy to pay more. It shows you aren’t in it for the $.
