Topics to consider

  • Cardiac arrest (and peri-arrest) management

  • To PCI or not to PCI?

  • What is post cardiac arrest syndrome?

  • Induced hypothermia or targetted temperature management?

  • Prognostication after cardiac arrest

Resources

  • : (BJA Education)

Key trials and guidelines

  • RC(UK) guidelines: , , and

  • brand new ERC/ECISM guidelines:

Managing an arrest:

Post arrest management

Have we missed something?

Continuous or intermittent chest compressions:

Adrenaline or not:

Amiodarone or not:

Vasopressin and steroids:

Choice of airway: , and two big prehospital studies ( and )

ECMO and CPR: and

Temperature management: , the OG , and , and the follow up

How long should we keep them cold? and

Prevention of VAP:

Early or delayed PCI:

Mechanical support:
