This will be an interactive workshop that presents expert consensus information about optimal care of the post-cardiac and refractory cardiac arrest patient. Presentations will include: timing of cardiac catheterization in patients with and without ST-elevation, revised temperature control strategy targeting normothermia instead of hypothermia, blood pressure, oxygenation, and ventilation parameters, and on the treatment of rhythmic and periodic electroencephalography patterns in patients with a resuscitated OHCA. Antiarrhythmic strategies and potential role for double sequential defibrillation in patients with refractory cardiac arrest when equipment and training is available will be included along with messages about the importance of regionalized OHCA care systems with admissions to a hospital capable of integrating their post OHCA care according to optimal practice outlined in the CPU.

Learning Objectives:

At the end of this session participants will be able to:

integrate new and updated considerations for post-cardiac arrest care into clinical practice;
identify new evidence-based best practices for refractory cardiac arrest management; and
compare the potential benefits and risks of routine transfer of OHCA patients to central cardiac arrest hub centers.
