In healthcare, Advanced cardiac life support is "the use of sophisticated methods and equipment to treat cardiopulmonary arrest. Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) includes the use of specialized equipment to maintain the airway, early defibrillation and pharmacological therapy."
Treatment
Clinical practice guidelines for advanced cardiovascular life support by the American Heart Association provide treatment algorithms:[1]
