Debriefing After Cardiac Arrest

Heather Wolfe, MD

Assistant Professor of Anesthesia and Critical Care Medicine 

Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia

 

Description

Clinical event debriefing adapts learnings from simulation debriefing to allow clinicians time to reflect and collectively learn after significant clinical events. Debriefing provides the opportunity to discuss interactions within the clinical environment to improve performance in the future. Debriefings are categorized by time in relation to the initial event, with “hot” debriefings occurring in the minutes to hours following the event and “cold” debriefings occurring in the days to weeks following an incident. This webinar will focus on how cold briefings can improve resuscitation outcomes based on a recent study across multiple pediatric centers.

 

Learning Objectives 

1. Discuss the importance and impact of a data-driven debriefing program after cardiac arrest

2. Describe how to integrate quantitative data into a cardiac arrest debriefing program

3. Identify challenges in implementing a cold briefing program

From Field to Floor: Exploring CPR,
ECMO and Outcomes

Juliann Eigner, RN BSN CCRN

Acute Mechanical Circulatory Support 

ECMO Program Coordinator 

Scripps Health, San Diego CA

 

Description

In this webinar you will learn about cutting edge ideas, new technologies, and progressive protocols to help realize higher quality CPR, achieve significantly improved positive outcomes from cardiac arrest, and simultaneously enhance best practices for hospital initiatives. Plus, walk through real life clinical scenarios to see where progressive hospital programs are including ECMO and the relationship with high-quality CPR. Lastly you will learn how refined choreography and defined roles are critical to efficient resuscitation including streamlining with bundles of care and pit crew roles.

 

Learning Objectives

1. Discuss the importance of high-quality CPR and progressive protocols used to improve outcomes from cardiac arrest

2. Describe how ECMO could significantly increase cardiac arrest outcomes
