Refractory Cardiac Arrest: Partnering with Definitive Care

Partnering with definitive care is an important element for EMS providers, especially when dealing with refractory cardiac arrest. By partnering appropriately, providers can improve the chances for a positive outcome for their patients. In this course, we'll hear from three perspectives - an emergency physician and prehospital medicine specialist, a professor of medicine and distinguished endowed chair of cardiovascular medicine, and a nurse manager. Through each perspective you'll hear about making transport determinations, emergency department priorities, the morality of data and reporting of PCI mortality, and ECMO in the modern ICU.

Course Type: Full-length Course

Course Duration: 60 min
