Course Overview

REGISTRATION  HAS BEEN CLOSED. WALK-INS ARE WELCOME ON-SITE.

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 targeted temperature management, 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 cardiac arrest scenarios and exploration of various protocols currently being used around the country. By the conclusion of the course, each attendee will have a firm grasp of developing and implementing a comprehensive in-hospital high quality post-arrest care resuscitation program.

This conference 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.
