Providing supplemental oxygen and monitoring ventilation quality, often through waveform capnography (EtCO2).

Maintaining patency via basic maneuvers or advanced tools (endotracheal tubes, supraglottic devices).

Modern ACLS emphasizes "Systems of Care," which includes the . This system ensures a seamless transition from the initial arrest to post-cardiac arrest care. Effective resuscitation also depends on team leadership ; a designated leader manages the algorithm while team members perform clear, assigned roles (Airway, Compressor, Timer/Recorder).

Providers must rapidly identify four primary cardiac arrest rhythms:

Identifying and treating reversible causes, commonly known as the H’s and T’s (e.g., Hypovolemia, Hypoxia, Toxins, Tamponade). Systems of Care and Team Dynamics This system ensures a seamless transition from the

ACLS cannot succeed without high-quality CPR. This includes chest compressions at a rate of 100–120 per minute with complete chest recoil and minimal interruptions.
