Learning Objectives:
  1. Analyze how the unique characteristics of the initial cardiac arrest event influence the approach to definitive and aggressive care.
  2. Evaluate the accuracy and reliability of information transmission from the initial cardiac arrest scene to cardiology and critical care teams.
  3. Explore strategies for leveraging technology to disseminate real-time information simultaneously to all relevant healthcare providers involved in cardiac arrest management.
  4. Determine whether the destination for patients with refractory ventricular fibrillation (VF) or return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) should be altered based on evolving clinical circumstances
  5. Develop written protocols for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and electronic cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) to establish standardized procedures and optimize patient outcomes.
