About AHA ACLS

What is AHA ACLS?

The AHA ACLS app is a digital health solution developed by Harvard-trained physicians in collaboration with the American Heart Association (AHA) to assist clinicians in delivering advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) at the point-of-care. The app features the latest 2020 release of AHA recommendations for ACLS and is regularly updated with the most up-to-date ACLS content. The app is the only one to have all content vetted by both the AHA science team and practicing Harvard-affiliated physicians.

Features

- Intuitive design to rapidly access 4 ACLS algorithms (i.e. cardiac arrest, tachycardia with pulse, bradycardia with pulse, and post cardiac arrest care)

- Includes all ACLS content including drug therapy and dosing, reversible causes, etc.

- Easy-to-read timers and ability to log rounds of CPR, epinephrine, and defibrillations

- Button within cardiac arrest algorithm that allows for rapid transition to post cardiac arrest care pathway once patient achieves ROSC

- All content rigorously vetted by AHA science team and practicing Harvard-affiliated physicians

- Regularly updated with the most up-to-date ACLS content

- Offers an auto-renewing annual subscription at $2.99/year with a 3-day free trial.

Give it a shot!

Full Disclosure: I’m one of the contributors and our team hopes you‘ll give AHAACLS a shot during the rapids/codes you run.

We think it’s the best solution on the market with all the ACLS info you’ll need to make the right decision (algorithms, drugs, doses) and timers built in to ensure you’re on track - the timers turn red at the algorithm-indicated time points, gently nudging you to take the next steps. Please do give us feedback as we are always working on improvements!

Great Digital Health Tool

Easy access to clear presentations of AHA ACLS algorithms! This is a great digital health tool that can help improve the efficiency and effectiveness and running codes and managing arrhythmias. Perfect complement for teaching residents and medical students on the internal medicine unit- a must have!

The Perfect ACLS app

Amazing app! All the relevant AHA information complete with intuitive timers and counters to make documentation easy and keep everyone on the same page when running codes

By revurn

Awesome aid

Superb App! As a practicing cardiologist I found it thoughtful, thorough, vetted, and easy to use. The information presented covers algorithms to drug doses in a modular way that is easy to follow and absorb. Such a well designed app for ACLS is overdue.

By Mickbong

Simply the best!

Love AHAACLS! Best part is that it’s actually functional in real time. Blows others ACLS apps out if the water!

Fantastic app

This is a must have for all residents and physicians. Amazing app

By dolshan

The best

Unquestionably and by far the best app for running in-hospital codes / ACLS.

By tjc_model

Best ACLS app

Written by doctors for doctors. Easy to follow. Love the timer! Best app out there!

By BosMD

Great for HMU and residency

I am involved in my institution’s hospital medicine unit and IM residency training program as an attending physician. This is a high quality tool for clinicians across a range of experiences and levels. A must have for bedside emergencies!!

By fhfjdhsh

No Log of the code

Great app however the only downside is that my it doesn’t keep a log of the code. This feature should ideally be implemented

By Jordan_RN

Simple, easy to use, but need time stamps

I really like the simplicity of AHAACLS. It’s really all you need while running a code, but... as an RN running a code I have to go back and document everything that happened by the minute. Med admin time, pulse check time, ROSC time, etc. If there was access to the breakdown/timeline of the code after the fact, then AHAACLS would be perfect! As it is, I still have to write down times if I’m not in the medical record at the same time. A ‘stop’ function would be very helpful too instead of just a reset button, for the sake of recording after the code. But if you’re just running the code and not simultaneously the person documenting, then AHAACLS is perfect. Great work!

Just What I Have Been Looking For

The MGH ACLS app perfectly streamlines the process of accessing and implementing ACLS guidelines while standing at the bedside of an unstable patient. Additionally, the Cardiac Arrest timers, counters, and layout have simplified the process of directing a code. AHAACLS is exactly what I have wanted over the past several years of residency!!

By Evergreen500

The tool we need

Correctly running a code is one of the most high stress, important things we do in the hospital. AHAACLS not only lets you access all of the ACLS algorithms on the fly but also has tools built in to facilitate its correct use. A must have for anyone taking care of patients.
