Review

The presented ALS algorithm in an adult illustrates a typical adult sudden circulatory arrest situation. This case is modified by the fact that the collapse occurred in the hospital and had to be activated MET (Medical Emergency Team). This CPR algortimus is the ultimate foundation of knowledge for any professional rescuer, but it is more than worthy to be familiar with the medical community in great detail.
