Having trouble remembering "what comes when" in the ACLS treatment algorithms? Having trouble staying awake studying for the certification test? You need Code Team! -- the complete desktop computer ACLS preparation course. Code Team! is three programs: CardioQuiz, EKG Teaching, and ALCS Protocols.

CardioQuiz covers ACLS topics in ten self-teaching quizzes. This is excellent preparation for the written ACLS certification test. The program covers airway management, IV techniques, cardiac drugs, case management priorities, Basic Life Support reveiw, and more.

The EKG Teaching program teaches rhythm strip interpretation with tutorials and quizzes. The program covers normal and abnormal ECG parts and rhythms, with pathology pattern and recognition such as hypercalcemia, hyperkalemia, and hypothermia.

ACLS Protocols teaches you to apply the American Heart Association's arrhythmia treatment algorithms to clinical situations. The program allows you to select from multiple scenerios, then manage the patient by interpreting the on-screen data and ECGs while entering treatment orders. The program is useful for all who must pass the "megacode" portion of ACLS certification. Among the protocols practiced are asystole, brachychardia with and without pulse, V-tach with and without pulse, V-fib, PAT, endotracheal drugs, and acidosis therapy.
