Step II comlex step 2 and ACLS

[Deepa100]

Hi All,
Just wondering if everyone is memorizing all the ACLS algorithms. It kinda' seems like an overkill to me. If someone can give some pointers on what sort of things are important, I would appreciate it. For example, know the drugs used for each algorithm etc.

Vtach - Amio or Shock
Vifb - Amio, Epi, Shock
Afib - Rate control = Rhythm Control, Shock if unstable
SVT - Adenosine or Shock
