Top ACLS Flashcards

Here's a situation, you're an EMT in the middle of your first real shift on the job. You have a patient going into pulseless cardiac arrest, and they're not shockable. What do you do to keep them stable? What do you give them? No matter what you do, you have to stay calm when someone's life is in your hands – that means knowing your stuff and responding under pressure. The ability to make quick decisions can be the difference between life and death, and nothing will test that ability better than our Advanced Cardiac Life Support flashcards set, designed to keep you on your toes and your wits sharp.

Here you'll be tested on what to do with tachycardic patients, as well as patients whose heartrates are just too low (brachycardia). These flashcards will test you on when to deliver epinephrine, how to give adenosine, and the causes of PEA (pulseless electrical activity).
