Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) Picture-based Checklists

by Kyle Harrison, Larry Chu

This book is designed to guide the reader through the successful performance of CPR and advanced cardiac life support using a picture-based checklist approach. Where other books provide wordy descriptions, tables and charts, our book takes the opposite approach. We created a simple, clear and concise visual guide to CPR and ACLS by using pictures and illustrations. Don't take the chance of forgetting important drug dosages or steps to life-saving resuscitation procedures. Use a checklist. Use our ACLS picture-based checklist, designed for today's visual learners.Intended for all levels of learners, our picture-based checklist is designed to be used in the library, in the simulation room, and on the hospital ward or operating room.We encourage nurses, medical students, resident physicians and attending physicians to use our picture-based checklists during critical events in medicine. We believe they will help providers follow the steps of CPR and ACLS more completely and correctly. They also help engage all members of the healthcare team.This book contains picture-based checklists 1) Pulseless Electrical Activity (PEA) and Asystole, 2) Unstable Bradycardia, 3) Unstable Supraventricular Tachycardia, and 4) Ventricular Fibrillation/Ventricular Tachycardia. We also include a page on crisis management for leaders and followers during an ACLS critical event.
