So this clarified ACLS......

Really?????
but of courseclear as mud and just as quick to follow

I saw this and I thought What the HECK???? What a mess!

For the rhythm not shockable part under VF/VT, why the heck does it take you to ROSC at the bottom? What if they just became asystolic or pea???

No I knew what you're SUPPOSED to do, that was more of a rhetorical question because of how poorly that algorithm was written...

If this were my hospital they would shrink that thing down to a nice 2x3 inch card that we could hang on our ID badges.

Quote from akulahawkNot a bad idea, actually. I'd just expand upon that a little bit, perhaps to include post-resuscitation and a couple other algorithms like VT with pulse, SVT, and Bradycardia. That would fit on what, 3-4 cards?

This actually is the ACLS AHA universal algorithm for ACLS.......this is exactly why I think "care maps" are crazy.A friend sent me this and I thought what else can be messed up!
