Objectives

In this module, we will teach you what you need to do within the first few minutes after recognizing that a patient is suffering from cardiac arrest. You will learn about interventions that have been proven to improve mortality. You will learn the approach to cardiac arrest both in a hospital and out-of-hospital setting, including its differences in outcome and management, which rhythms are shockable and which are non-shockable, when to administer drugs such as epinephrine and amiodarone, and when to treat reversible causes of cardiac arrest. Lastly, you will learn proper team dynamic and what to do after the code, including how to deliver bad news to a patient’s family.
