EMCrit RACC 228 – Physiology-Guided Cardiac Arrest Management in 2018 with Dr. Robert Sutton - a podcast by Scott D. Weingart, MD FCCM

[featimage]



The slide above is from an SCCM talk by Robert Sutton. Dr. Sutton is a pediatric intensivist at CHOP in Philadelphia. His research interests include pediatric CPR quality research with a focus on evaluating novel interventions, both educational and technological, with the overall goal to improve care delivered to children during resuscitation attempts.

What We Spoke About...

We went box by box through the algorithm above. Note, very little of this is supported by high level evidence. However, neither is anything we are doing now--so be wary of staus quo bias.

Note: To do this technique properly, it is imperative you read this post (choosing the correct DBP); you should also probably listen to that podcast.
