  • Résumé

  • Like a daily audio flash card. This podcast is intended to aid any medical professional preparing for an Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) class. Each one-to-nine minute Flash Briefing-style episode covers one of the skills needed to recognize a stroke or cardiac emergency and work as a high-performing team to deliver quality care. Listening to a tip-of-the-day for 14-30 days prior to a class will help cement core concepts that have been shown to improve outcomes in patients suffering a heart attack, cardiac arrest, or stroke. In addition to the chain of survival core concepts and ACLS algorithms, specific information needed to pass the written exam and megacode following the 2020 guidelines is presented. Healthcare providers that are already ACLS certified may find listening a helpful reminder. Disclaimer: This podcast is a supplement to your course's approved text book and videos - not a replacement. The information presented is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice. Medical professionals should follow their local laws, agency protocols, and act only within their scope of practice.

  • Maintaining a Chest Compression Fraction (CCF) Above 80%

    Maintaining a Chest Compression Fraction (CCF) Above 80%
    May 9 2025

    Even good CPR is far less efficient at circulating blood than a functioning heart.

    The indicators of high-quality CPR that were identified at the 2012 AHA CPR Quality Summit in order of importance include:

    • Chest compression fraction (CCF);
    • Chest compression rate;
    • Chest compression depth;
    • Allowing for full recoil; and
    • Adequate ventilations.

    Using real-time feedback devices and ETCO2 to assess CPR quality.

    Three tips to limit pauses in CPR compressions to 10 seconds or less.

    Good luck with your ACLS class!
