ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life Support)

Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) is a set of medical protocols used by healthcare professionals to treat severe heart emergencies, such as cardiac arrest. It involves quickly assessing the patient's condition, performing effective CPR, delivering electric shocks if needed to restore a normal heartbeat, administering medications, and using advanced tools like airway management devices. The goal of ACLS is to stabilize the patient's heart rhythm, restore blood circulation, and improve chances of recovery. It requires specialized training and knowledge of the heart’s electrical and circulatory systems to efficiently respond during critical moments.
