AHA ACLS (Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support)

AHA ACLS (Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support) is a set of medical protocols from the American Heart Association for responding to cardiovascular emergencies, like heart attacks or cardiac arrest. It provides healthcare professionals with guidelines for assessing, diagnosing, and treating critical conditions. ACLS includes techniques such as performing CPR, using defibrillators to restore heart rhythm, and administering medications to stabilize the patient. The training also emphasizes teamwork and communication during emergencies, ensuring that responders can effectively manage life-threatening situations to improve patient survival and outcomes.
