New ACLS and BLS Tests are OUt

Specialties CCU

Make sure your studying from the updated ACLS and BLS textbooks.......

I just looked at them.....Not a whole lot to them...A few more stroke questions, a few less MI questions.

There are now two versions of each test.....One for EMS and one for other Healthcare Professionals.

This is for both the BLS and ACLS tests.

Same stuff, just worded differently for EMS vs Nursing

Hmmmm...

I thought there was going to be major revisions in 2005 to ACLS based on evidence that what we are doing doesnt always help that much ie code survival etc-

They are only new tests to catch up with recent curriculum changes. (Example: We've been teaching Pedi AED for awhile but the test is just now reflecting that change.) I don't think the big curriculum changes are coming until late '05 or early '06.
