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 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.

Medical professionals should follow their local laws, agency protocols, and act only within their scope of practice.
