Most comprehensive study guide ever. Very organized making it easy
to follow. Some of the practice questions are exactly the same as
on the exam. Thank you.
This was so easy to use and so helpful.
I plugged away at it little pieces at a time and feel so much more
confident.
I purchased the two week package just to be able to use the rhythm
strip review and they were immensely helpful. I also greatly
appreciated how easy it was to skip to the parts I did need review
on. Thank you!
The ACLS review was a huge help!
A week ago after having months of anxiety….I passed with
confidence thanks to your course. I highly recommend it to anyone
renewing or taking ACLS.
Jeff, your ACLS study course is priceless. I gained a great
understanding of algorithms. I would recommend your ACLS training
and review.

Rebecca says
very helpful practice tests. i’m a dentist who needs acls for iv sedation, so ecg’s aren’t something i see every day. i passed easily, getting only one question wrong on the test.
Lisa says
I was very nervous about taking ACLS. I worked In obstetrics for 24 years. I was more comfortable with NRP. I passed the test 98%. The mega code went great also. I thought the site helped alot with preparation for the exam.
Marcel Dore says
Jeff: Thank you so much for your site. I am a visual and interactive learner and found studying from the written materials (for my ACLS Recertification) so terribly boring, THEN, ……… I found your site, registered for 24 hours (what a deal!) as my recert was today and final mark was 100%. I watched the videos, did all 14 Mega Codes, the ACLS Exam and a few others, and read most of the questions and comments. It was such a pleasure to relearn from your site. Congratulations! I am going to recommend it to all my Hospitalist colleagues at our hospital! Send me an email if you want me to promote your site at our Canadian Society of Hospital Medicine meetings or check out canadianhospitalist.ca for our website …
Jeff with admin. says
Thank you so much for the encouraging words and your comments. I am so glad that the learning experience that you had was a good one.
That would be great if you can pass information on about the ACLS training that is offered here. It truly is our goal to help health care providers learn and master ACLS and actually enjoy the process.
Kind regards, Jeff

Hi, Jeff.
I want to thank you for your wonderful ACLS site. I’s already my third time I used your preparation site for ACLS recertification. And every time I need less time for preparation. Before I was struggle with books and my old notes. Now I remember majority of materials, only because your class built so well and clear. So much easier to memorize My hospital using computerized AHA test, when you need to pass list of different scenarios in timely manner, and then have a test. I suggesting your site to all my colleagues at work .
My best wishes for you and thank you again
Nancy Williams says
Jeff,
When checking the rhythm, can you check the pulse at the same time? This seems like the most perfect moment to do so, though I haven’t seen it recommended.
Thanks,
Nancy
Jeff with admin. says
When dealing with cardiac arrest the rhythm check occurs first or at the same time as the pulse check. If there is no rhythm change then there is no reason to perform a pulse check.
The rhythm check and pulse check can be basically carried out at the same time if you have enough help.
Kind regards,
Jeff
Josephine Ramiro says
I got a lot of questions in my mind before but when I got into your website everything was answered. I never felt this much confidence in myself, thanks for creating this website Jeff, it was incredibly perfect!!!!!
Mariel Mikos says
This was my first ACLS and I passed!! Thank you so much for this site! I was starting to learn on my own & I was so stressed & anxious and wasn’t getting it but this site helped me stay organized & focused and I understood the material with ease. Thank You!!!
Leesa Williams says
Just want to say thank ͏y͏o͏u for an awesome site. I passed my ACLS class on September 28th without even opening up the book and study material provided by my hospital. Because it is a very informative and interactive site I felt very confident on test day.
Miriam Rexrode says
I just passed my ACLS and I was confident ; This website is perfect and I recommended it to everybody . The learning method , the practice test are excellent .
Thank you Jeff for creating this website and I will recommend to all my coo-workers to sign here.
Thank you!!!!
Miriam
Chris Becker says
I passed ACLS! The website helped me practice at my pace and get more confident. I even went first in the Megacode and coworkers said I did great! The one thing that was different between the practice megacodes and real life was not having to adjust the joules on the defibrillator. Our machine always used 200 joules versus the ramping up in the defib practice scenarios. Thank you! Will recommend your site to everyone.
wjm says
I took ACLS for the first time today and passed with flying colors thanks to your site. I studied on your site for 3-4 weeks and felt very prepared. I did not have a book. I only used your site, the videos on the AHA website and the supplemental material provided by the company providing the class. Your site was incredibly helpful. It covered almost everything. What it didn’t cover (closed-loop communication/team work) was mentioned in class. Thank you so much for all the work you’ve put into your website. I really appreciate it. I’ll pass your site on to my fellow ED coworkers.

Jeff,
New to your site and love it!Do have a question regarding when to start epinephrine IV during VF and pulseless VT. Upon reviewing your information I was lead to believe that epinephrine is not given till after the second shock. My ACLS experts at work say it should be given ASAP.
Jeff with admin. says
According to the American Heart Association guidelines for the right branch of the cardiac arrest algorithm (PEA & asystole), epinephrine can be given as soon as IV access is available.
For the left branch of the cardiac arrest algorithm (VF and pulseless VT), epinephrine is supposed to be given after the second shock during CPR. There are many providers that give epinephrine in the scenario as soon as IV access is available.
The reason why the American Heart Association does not encourage this is because they want to emphasize high-quality chest compressions and early defibrillation. There is now de-emphasis on medications since there is no evidence that shows that medications improve survival to hospital discharge.
Kind Regards, Jeff

Hi Jeff
This site helped me tremendously!!.. I did my ACLS re-cert a couple of weeks ago The only thing i wondered about was that when I was when tested on the practicum of monomorphic v Tach. One of the physicians testing us suggested that amiodarone IV over adenosine IV should be given.. Any comments on this?
Thanks
Catherine
Jeff with admin. says
It would not be out of the question to treat a patient that has stable monomorphic VT with amiodarone. The AHA guidelines list adenosine for narrow complex tachycardia, however, it also lists monomorphic wide complex tachycardia as a tachyarrhythmia that can also be treated with adenosine. Remember, these are simply guidelines and recommendations. Especially when you are dealing with nonemergent cardiovascular situations, the options are much more varied. Thorough assessment with expert consultation should drive your interventions. That said, amiodarone is definitely an option to treat monomorphic VT, and your interventions would depend upon your assessment and your interpretation of the 12-lead ECG.
Kind regards,
Jeff
