Which ACLS protocol do you use?

I'm a medical student and am curious to know exactly which ACLS protocol is considered the "universal standard" in the USA for running a code. Is it the AHA? Something else? Can you provide a link to the ACLS flow that you use?

Thank you!

What? I wasn't aware that there was more than one. ACLS is a product of the AHA....

ACLS is trademarked and copyrighted. There's only one.

Ok that's what I suspected but wasn't sure. Do you have a link to an accurate ACLS flow by the AHA? Or at least a link to buy the most current AHA ACLS laminated card that has it on it?

Thanks!

Thanks! But I am actually looking for the white coat pocket friendly cards, like the ones that came with the ACLS Provider manual, only I want ones that are the most current. Any ideas?

You can buy them from the AHA.

If you're looking for quick reference cards, I would check out World Point or Laerdal. Those are American Heart's distributors. They have exactly what you're looking for. The ACLS Provider Manual will also have quick cards included in them.

Good Luck!
