ACLS guidelines

ACLS, or Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support, refers to the protocols used by healthcare professionals to treat patients experiencing life-threatening cardiac emergencies. These guidelines provide structured approaches for assessing and managing conditions like cardiac arrest and severe arrhythmias. Key components include recognizing the signs of these emergencies, performing high-quality CPR, using defibrillators as needed, and administering medications to stabilize the heart's rhythm. ACLS emphasizes teamwork, rapid response, and effective communication to improve patient outcomes during critical situations. Overall, it sets standards for the best practices in caring for patients in cardiac distress.
