You Solve and Treat!

This session will deal with multiple “live “ interactive video case studies. Videos were actually put on the rigs and “live” scenes were shot!

ECGs, especially those of the 12-lead variety, are not always what they appear to be. Take a myth-busting journey into the seemingly safe but sometimes dangerous world of first degree blocks, ST segment elevations that are not infarcts and the wide-complex tachycardias that are not ventricular. FInd out why atropine could work in a third-degree heart-block and adenosine in a wide-complex tachycardia. Find out how to be safe when venturing onto the planet of Brugada and into other worlds of the unknown. 

(HP-CPR) is a “newly developed” program from Seattle designed to improve survival from cardiac arrest. Scientific studies convincingly show that letter perfect CPR, minimal breaks in compressions, full recoil, adequate depth, and adequate compression rate are all factors that can increase survival from cardiac arrest. HP-CPR teaches you how to incorporate these critical factors and helps guide you to a more successful resuscitation. This course will offer the initial tools and content needed to achieve high performance CPR (HP-CPR) on your next resuscitation and teach YOU how to incorporate this technique into your own EMS system!

HP-CPR is a “choreographed” cardiac resuscitation. This newly developed program from Seattle is designed to improve survival from cardiac arrest. It takes the new science of CPR and delivers a hands-on experience that will truly make a difference on how you run a resuscitation!

HP-CPR is NOT a standard CPR course...it is the “future” of cardiac resuscitation. This course will teach you how to incorporate these critical skills and help guide you to a more successful resuscitation.
