<br/><br/> Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) is a set of evidence-based clinical guidelines and protocols developed by the American Heart Association for the management of life-threatening cardiovascular emergencies such as cardiac arrest, stroke, acute coronary syndromes, and severe arrhythmias. It builds upon Basic Life Support (BLS) by adding advanced interventions including airway management, intravenous drug administration, cardiac rhythm interpretation, defibrillation, synchronized cardioversion, and team-based resuscitation. ACLS emphasizes rapid assessment, early recognition of cardiac emergencies, high-quality CPR, timely defibrillation, and coordinated team communication to improve patient survival and neurological outcomes. It is widely used by healthcare professionals in emergency departments, intensive care units, and prehospital settings.
