ACLS Algorithm Cheat Sheets — AHA 2020 Updated Protocols for Every Cardiac Emergency
In a code situation, algorithms save lives. Knowing the right protocol — the right drug, the right dose, the right sequence — without hesitation is what separates effective responders from overwhelmed ones. The ACLS Algorithm Cheat Sheets are built directly from the 2020 American Heart Association ACLS Guidelines — the most current evidence base for cardiac emergency management. These cheat sheets are your fast-reference companion for ACLS certification, recertification, and clinical practice.
Every Major ACLS Algorithm Covered
Cardiac Arrest Algorithm (Shockable V-Fib/V-Tach vs. Non-Shockable PEA/Asystole pathways), Adult Bradycardia Algorithm (atropine, transcutaneous pacing, dopamine/epinephrine), Adult Tachycardia Algorithm (stable vs. unstable, cardioversion decision points), Post-Cardiac Arrest Care (target temperature management, hemodynamic optimization), Acute Coronary Syndrome Algorithm (STEMI vs. NSTEMI, reperfusion timelines), Stroke Algorithm (Cincinnati Stroke Scale, tPA eligibility window), and Drug Reference Quick Sheet (epinephrine, amiodarone, lidocaine, adenosine, atropine — doses, indications, cautions).
Built for the 2020 AHA Updates
The 2020 AHA ACLS guidelines introduced updated CPR quality metrics, opioid-associated emergency protocols, and revised post-resuscitation care guidance. This cheat sheet package reflects those changes so you’re always working from current evidence.
FAQ: ACLS Algorithm Certification
Q: What changed in the 2020 AHA ACLS guidelines?
