ACLS Stakeholders

Stakeholders involved in the resuscitation of a patient include all participating individuals. The structure relates to their location, education, and the equipment they must use.

The people involved in performing ACLS in an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest include:

  • Lay rescuers
  • Emergency medical services (EMS) team members
  • Emergency department staff
  • Catheterization (cath) lab staff
  • ICU personnel

In-hospital cardiac arrest stakeholders involve:

  • Primary providers
  • The code team
  • Cath lab staff
  • ICU personnel

All these people have roles and responsibilities that represent the chains of survival.

The processes are guided by protocols, policies, and procedures that each EMS team or emergency department must follow for a well-organized ACLS program.
