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.
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.
Code 2 is an alert at the hospital that someone or a patient is dying of cardiac arrest. Available Advanced Cardiac Life Support teams are then sent to the area to assist/resuscitate the patient.
Yes you must be ACLS certified to do those things.
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.
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.
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.
