  • Online Content & Tests


Date & Location
Friday, June 7, 2019, 8:00 AM - Monday, June 7, 2021, 8:00 PM

Course Overview

Clinical education for relevant care providers on in-hospital care of cardiac arrest patients, including the use of targeted temperature management (TTM), cardiac catheterization, internal cardiac defibrillator (ICD) consideration and advanced ICU care approaches. This course is designed to be practical in orientation, and help equip learners with “state of the art” TTM and post-arrest care strategies.

This online activity is designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, advance practice nurses, physician assistants, nurses, residents, fellows and students specializing in or with interest in the evaluation and management of targeted temperature management.

  2. Determine appropriate inclusion and exclusion criteria for post-arrest patients being considered for therapeutic hypothermia
  3. Implement therapeutic hypothermia 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 therapeutic hypothermia 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
