A blast from the past to go with that bretyllium.Elvis (epinephrine) Loved (lidocaine) Big (bretyllium) Mama (magnesium sulfate) Presley (procainamide).Seriously the hardest thing to remember is the Hs & Ts with is a mnemonic. Learn and understand the rhythms and meds. Too much memorizing just leads to nervousness that you'll forget the mnemonics.

Yes!!! Yeah some new ones! I had all the old ones. Thank you.

They change things so much.

I don't know how serious your question is?I've been re-certifying for ACLS every two years for over 26 years. The trouble with mnemonics is the "old" out of date ones are entrenched in my brain and they fight like the devil to not allow new updated ACLS protocol to take over!!!!!Thankfully ACLS is so user friendly now. I still manage to pass the class!!!!!
