	Advanced cardiac life support - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) is a detailed medical protocol for the provision of lifesaving cardiac care in settings ranging from the pre-hospital environment to the hospital setting.
		ACLS is the appropriate medical response to cardiac arrest.
		This is considered basic life support or BLS.

		Cardiac tamponade is a medical emergency condition where a large amount of a liquid accumulates in the pericardium in a relatively short time.
		Advanced Life Support (ALS) is a treatment consensus for cardiopulmonary resuscitation in cardiac arrest and related medical problems, as agreed by the European Resuscitation Council, most recently in 2000.
		Cardiac arrest is diagnosed on the basis of only two clinical signs: unconsciousness and the lack of a major pulse.(1) As soon as you have made the diagnosis you should make a cardiac arrest call (or dial the emergency services outside hospital) and then start basic life support.

	ACVC 2001 - Cardiopulmonary Cerebral Resuscitation: Advanced Cardiac Life Support
		The goal of basic life support (BLS) is the temporary support of the patient's oxygenation / ventilation and circulation.
		Advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) is the addition of drugs, electrical defibrillation, and the possibility of internal cardiac compression.
		This is accomplished by passing an electrical current through the heart causing the cardiac cells to depolarize and hopefully repolarize in a uniform manner with resumption of organized and coordinated electrical and contractile activity.

	Education: A guide to advanced cardiac life support
		Whereas basic life support concentrates on keeping the patient's blood oxygenated, advanced cardiac life support is aimed at restarting the heart using defibrillators, drugs, and special techniques.
		Basic life support should not be stopped for more than a few seconds unless the patient is being intubated or defibrillated.

		Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is the most common cause of sudden, witnessed cardiac arrest in adult victims, although in older nursing home patients asystole is the most commonly found arrhythmia and may reflect the preponderance of unwitnessed events.
		The aim of electrical therapy is to provide a current through the myocardium that causes a homogeneous electrical state in enough number of cardiac myocytes for sufficient time to break re-entrant circuits and allow a stable rhythm to be re-established.
		(10) The Ontario Prehospital Advanced Life Support (OPALS) study, which included 6,331 out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients (mean age 68), also demonstrated that by reducing the EMS response interval to within 8 minutes, overall survival to hospital discharge improved by 33%.
