This tool provides a compact summary of the Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) protocol as updated in the fall of 2000. A few easy screen taps carry you to the necessary steps in the protocol in seconds. You can hop back and forth between paths in the algorithm just as in a code situation. Medication with doses and routes and other actions are displayed in a clear format. Dual timers with both the time of day and code duration keep you abreast of what is happening.
The latest release includes an algorithm browser that allows the user to browse through the included guidelines as a mechanism for decision support. Summaries are based on American College of Cardiology guidelines. |
