The document provides corrections to errors in the ACLS and ACLS Renewal Course videos. It corrects a scene where the defibrillator model was not shown but the energy was stated as 200 joules, which is not the recommended setting for that particular device. The summary will be corrected in future reprints and videos to avoid specifying an energy level and instead state that the recommended manufacturer settings should be used if known.
