Each Icon below will take you to a page for the Respective ACLS EKG. These pages cover all of the cardiac arrhythmias that you will experience in the ACLS provider course. Rhythms from Ventricular Fibrillation to Complete Heart Block are covered. Examples of each ECG tracing are provided, and after each article is a short video that simulates the ACLS ECG on a defibrillator monitor.
You will also find a question and answer section below each rhythm video. This area covers the most common questions asked about each rhythm. Feel free to leave a comment or question as you review the content.
Pulseless Rhythms
Bradyarrhythmias
Tachyarrhythmias

I think some Nursing Instructors who try and teach Cardiac could use these rhythm slides. The explanations are sweet and to the point without all of the confusing stuff they like to throw in. Thanks and I am feeling good about passing my class in a few days. I will recommend this site.

Why is a blood sugar the most important lab to obtain during a code? Is it to ID H’s and T’s.What is the pathophysiology behind hypoglycemia during a code?
Jeff with admin. says
I don’t know if I would say that it is the most important lab to obtain. It depends on the situation. I hope that I have not inadvertently made a such a definitive statement on the site about this.
I would say that it is often overlooked as a cause of PEA, Asystole, and bradycardia and it is so easy to obtain that it should be a done as soon as possible. I will look into the pathophysiology on this and get back with you. —Jeff

Thank you.
Betty says
It is important to obtain a blood sugar because the brain requires oxygen and glucose to function. If we circulate oxygen but not glucose, the brain cells are going to die anyway or become unresponsive to stimuli. Always check a blood sugar on any patient who becomes unresponsibe because we never know if the patient is diabetic or not. If there is not enough glucose, we must include that in the code drugs. That is why D50 is on the crash cart.
Hope this helps.
Betty
