Acls Guideline

This document from the American Heart Association provides several algorithms and guidelines for performing CPR and emergency cardiovascular care. It includes algorithms for adult cardiac arrest, bradycardia, tachycardia, post-cardiac arrest care, opioid overdose emergencies, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and termination of resuscitation. It also includes pediatric chains of survival and algorithms for neonatal resuscitation. The algorithms are presented visually through figures with steps and decision points to guide emergency response.
