Running into some confusion. IS the most recent ACLS guidelines from 2010?

Also, is there a website that has 'free' viewing of these guidelines that anyone is aware of?

Thanks

I took ACLS yesterday and today. My pocket card from 2005 (or was it 2008) was out of date. Our text and written test were both copyrighted 2010. The most noticeable change was the removal of atropine from the PEA algorithm.

I have the ACLS algorithms on my Droid Razr, downloaded free from Epocrates. It's in the Tables on the Epocrates app.

every 5 years the AHA updates their guidelines. the last time was in 2010. every year or so they come out with other updates that course instructors have to keep up with, but the most recent general guidelines and algorithms are 2010. in addition to epocrates, i'm sure if you google aha 2010 acls guidelines something will pop up. sounds like you might be ready for a re-certification, too.
