The AHA and European Resuscitation Council developed the most recent ACLS Guidelines in 2010 using the comprehensive review of resuscitation literature performed by the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR), and these were updated in 2015 and 2018. Guidelines are reviewed continually but are formally released every five years and published in the journals Circulation and Resuscitation (1).Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) builds on the foundation of Basic Life Support (BLS), emphasizing the importance of continuous, high-quality CPR.

ABSTRACT
Background: The American Heart Association (AHA) and European Resuscitation Council (ERC) developed the
most recent ACLS Guidelines in 2010using the comprehensive review of resuscitation literature performed by the International
Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR), and these were updated in 2015 and 2018. Acute coronary syndrome (ACS)
refers to a spectrum of clinical presentations ranging from those for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) to
presentations found in non- ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) or in unstable angina.
Aim of the study: Impart both cognitive knowledge and psychomotor skills of ACLS to provide a standardized
care in cardiac arrest victims by accordance of the specific guidelines.
Conclusion: Practitioner's expertswould apply the ACLS protocol for cardiac arrest, and once the patient's return
of spontaneous circulation Restore (ROSC). However, we will start post-cardiac arrest care along with the treatment of ACS
