Course Overview
The purpose of this educational activity is: to educate relevant care providers on in-hospital care of cardiac arrest patients, most specifically to teach about post-arrest care, including the use of therapeutic hypothermia, cardiac catheterization, internal cardiac defibrillator (ICD) consideration and advanced ICU care. In addition to scholarly presentations and discussions. A key goal is to help each attendee discover an integrated, multidisciplinary system of both cardiac arrest and post-cardiac arrest care, through hands-on experience with various cooling methods and exploration of various protocols currently being used around the country, as well as CPR “challenge” simulations. By the conclusion of the course, each attendee will have a firm grasp of developing and implementing a comprehensive in-hospital high quality resuscitation program.

Target Audience
Specialties - EMERGENCY MEDICINE, INTERNAL MEDICINE, INTERNAL MEDICINE - Cardiovascular Disease, INTERNAL MEDICINE - Critical Care Medicine, INTERNAL MEDICINE - Interventional Cardiology


Objectives
  1. Review the history, evidence and pathophysiology surrounding the use of therapeutic hypothermia in the post-arrest population
  2. Determine appropriate inclusion and exclusion criteria for post-arrest patients being considered for TTM
  3. Implement TTM as a therapy for post-cardiac arrest patients at their respective institutions
  4. Create a working post-resuscitation care and hypothermia protocol for their respective institutions
  5. Develop a “post-cardiac arrest bundle” of care for their organization
  6. Explain TTM in the context of a comprehensive resuscitation program to improve cardiac arrest survival, including the use of automatic external defibrillators, CPR quality improvement, and debriefing arrest events
