Do all staff in the ER need CPR or ACLS certification?
Yes, everyone who works in an Emergency Room is required to maintain CPR and ACLS (advanced cardiac life support) certification according to the ACLS Certification Institute. CPR is required for the layperson and BLS (basic life support) is required for the healthcare provider. Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) is required for the first responder in emergency settings - i.e. the ER.

Yes. You must have BLS (basic life support) BEFORE you may become ACLS certified (advanced cardiac life support). And you will need to take your proof of BLS with you to the ACLS class.

A Do Not Resusciatate (DNR) is usually an advanced legal healthcare directive signed by a person who does not want to have CPR or Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) if their heart stops beating or if they stop breathing.
What are ACLS algorithms used for?
ACLS algorithms are used to provide a systematic approach to managing cardiac arrest and other life-threatening medical emergencies. They consist of a series of steps and decision points to guide healthcare providers in delivering advanced cardiac life support interventions such as defibrillation, medication administration, and advanced airway management. These algorithms are based on current evidence-based guidelines and are designed to improve the outcomes of patients in need of urgent medical care.
What is ACLS and PALS certifications?
ACLS is Advanced Cardiac Life Support. Means that you can use a defibrillator if you need to but you are also trained in CPR. PALS is Pediatric Life Support. Means that you know how to do proper life support on a child under the age of 6. I recommend for any one to take these two courses as they help the fire and medics when they arrive on seen that someone is helping them and already preforming advanced medical support.
What is the Difference between Advanced life support And Advanced Cardiac Life support?
They're the same thing. It's just that ACLS is American Heart Foundation, and ALS is most of the rest of the world. In the UK it's UK Resusitation Council and underwritten by the Royal College of Surgeons, England.
