Advanced Cardiac Life Support

Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) is a set of medical procedures used by healthcare professionals to treat severe cardiovascular emergencies, such as cardiac arrest or abnormal heart rhythms. It combines advanced techniques like electrical defibrillation, managing airway and breathing, administering medications, and monitoring heart function. The goal of ACLS is to quickly restore a normal heartbeat, secure vital organ function, and improve the patient’s chances of recovery. It is typically performed in emergency settings by trained medical teams to provide rapid, effective treatment in critical situations.
