We continue this series by taking a look at our first ACLS algorithm, the cardiac arrest algorithm. This is the one that you will probably use most often and arguably the most important one. It will be imperative that you know this algorithm and be able to act quickly on the American Heart Association's (AHA) simplified approach to this emergency situation. While this is no replacement for certification, the hope is to provide a good resource for learning either before class, or in the 2 years in-between certification.

MD here, this is how it ought to be taught!
-
As a nursing student with a code simulation tomorrow this video gives me so much confidence!!
-
Awesome video! I will definitely be watching this a few more times. I really enjoyed going through the scenario at the end. I am a new grad starting a job as an RN in the ED soon and this is very helpful. Also, I literally laughed out loud when you said “The patient is not getting any deader. We want to slam this medication.”
-
I've been a med surg nurse for 5 years and have recently gone to critical care and I am doing my first ACLS certification. I really appreciate your videos. You walk through everything nicely so that I can stamp it in my brain. It has already proved helpful in codes I've been in recently. Thanks!
-
Loove that you provided a scenario at the end!!
-
I am a RN and a BLS Instructor. I recently took ACLS and your videos helped a ton! Hope to be an instructor soon!
-
New grad RN here. Thank you soooo much for this video! This was always so confusing to me during nursing school and now that I have to get my ACLS for my first job I feel so confident after watching your video. I really enjoyed the mini scenario too!!
-
Watching these on repeat until my ACLS class. Really liked the scenario and questions it’s like a mini quiz. More quizzes please!
-
I’m a new nurse for the ER and this video helped me critically think through my work sim!! Thank you!!
-
You are a life saver bro! This breakdown makes learning so much fater and relatable. Your walkthrough at the end put the cherry on top!
-
I'm a nursing student and we have a Code Blue simulation this semester... This has been the best video over ACLS for Cardiac Arrest thus far! Thank you so much for this video!
-
I just experienced two cardiac arrests in three days and was brought back after one shock and one 2m CPR from each, im told. I don't remember much about them so I really enjoyed this video, thank you. Now i know what they actually did to bring me back.
-
This was excellent! I love that you ran through the scenario like a quiz. So helpful!
-
I appreciate your professionalism. Loved the "color-coding", as this is how I organize facts within my brain! Loved it! Thank you! Thank you!
-
Took ACLS today and passed with ease his time around. Watched a few of your videos...Thank you God and Eddy Watson! This is my 27th yr as a Step-Down RN. I will be binge watching & sharing your videos!
-
I’ve been a nurse for 5 years, but somehow have not experienced many codes. I started a travel assignment on a cardiac tele unit & wanted to be proficient with CPR algorithm . Great video!
-
Studying for my ACLS exam and will graduate nursing end of this year. Your teaching methodology is extremely helpful.
-
Appreciated the scenarios and codes! I have been out of bedside for 5 years and I have been nervous about my upcoming ACLS certification. These videos make it so much easier to understand! Thank you and I cracked up when patient is getting any deader! ha!
-
Everything in this content is superb! From voice quality, visual aids and the way how he simplified a complex algorithm! Thank you!!
