The manual ACLS - 'Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support' or 'Advanced Support of
Life in Cardiology is dedicated to the treatment of patients who are victims of cardiac arrest.
cardiopulmonary or those presenting cardiovascular emergencies, such as
arrhythmias, myocardial infarction and stroke.
Cardiac arrest is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and the
ACLS training is one of the most effective ways to improve rates of
survival in cases of cardiac arrest.
Therefore, ACLS is an essential part of medical and nursing training.
It is a crucial component of emergency medical care.

MONITORING - SHOCKING RHYTHMS
Ventricular fibrillation (VF): disorganized electrical activity that is not capable of promoting contraction.
effective ventricular.
Ventricular tachycardia without pulse (VTWP): organized electrical activity of the myocardium that does not allow time
sufficient for ventricular filling and does not generate significant blood flow or pulse.

MONITORING - UNSHOCKABLE RHYTHMS
•Electrical activity without pulse (AESP): it encompasses a heterogeneous group of organized electrical rhythms that should
generate pulses, but are not capable of generating ventricular contraction. Also when the ventricular contraction is
too weak to produce an adequate cardiac output, or when there is electrical/mechanical activity, but there is no
intravascular content.
Assistolia: absence of detectable ventricular electrical activity.
