Pass ACLS Tip of the Day

Paul Taylor

I'm Paul from PassACLS.com and I'm here to help you pass ACLS. Like an audio flash card, this podcast is intended to aid any medical professional preparing for an Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) class. Each three-to-nine minute episode covers one of the skills needed to recognize a stroke or cardiac emergency and work as a high performing team to deliver safe, quality patient care. Listening to a tip a day for a few weeks prior to your ACLS class will help cement the core concepts that have been shown to improve outcomes in patients suffering a heart attack, cardiac arrest, or stroke. In addition to the Chain of Survival, core concepts, and ACLS algorithms; specific information needed to pass the written exam, BLS checks, and megacode following the 2020 guidelines is presented. Healthcare providers that are already ACLS certified, but rarely participate in codes, may find listening a helpful reminder. Disclaimer: This podcast is a supplement to your course's approved text book and videos - not a replacement. The information presented is for educational purposes only, is intended for medical professionals, and is not medical advice. Medical professionals should follow their local laws, agency protocols, and act only within their scope of practice.

    Time Goals for Stroke Assessment & Therapy

    When treating patients having an MI or stroke, more minutes equals more dead cells. Because the majority of strokes are the ischemic type, the treatment for stroke is similar to an MI – to reestablish perfusion to the ischemic tissues. The first four steps in the Stroke Chain of Survival. Time criteria for the administration of tPA (or a similar fibrinolytic medication) or EVT of LVO strokes. Stroke benchmarks for door to: assessment;completing a non-contrast CT; andadministration of fibrinolytic medication such as tPA (door-to-needle). EMS interaction with stroke teams and destination protocols to reduce time to definitive care. The difference for timed goals for the identification & treatment of AMI vs Stroke. Additional information about timed goals for stroke and how EMS affects outcomes, can be found on the PassACLS.com pod resources page. **American Cancer Society (ACS) Fundraiser This is the seventh year that I'm participating in Men Wear Pink to increase breast cancer awareness and raise money for the American Cancer Society's life-saving mission.
