Managing Cardiac Arrest: During and After Resuscitation
As a professional rescuer, you need to prepare for an emergency in advance. In addition, you need to be physically and mentally prepared to provide emergency care. Managing cardiac arrest requires skill and knowledge on the part of the emergency responder. A patient suffering from cardiac arrest has a very small window of time before brain damage occurs, and responders have an equally small window of time in which resuscitation will be successful. Therefore, it is essential for EMS responders to have a firm grasp on cardiac arrest and management techniques for this emergency situation. Coronary artery disease (or CAD) is a common trigger for out of hospital cardiac arrest, especially in the case of shockable rhythms (which will be discussed later in this course). Teamwork is key: you need to collaborate, communicate, and coordinate the care of a cardiac arrest patient. This course discusses the appropriate care for patients suffering from cardiac arrest, including post-resuscitation management techniques.
