Code Management (V2)

Course overview

Each year, an estimated 295,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests are treated by EMS responders. Successful outcomes rely upon a well-planned and well-rehearsed approach to caring for cardiac arrest patients. Resuscitation training and education cannot be thought of as a single skill, but rather the synergy of many practitioners working together to achieve an optimal outcome. Effective code management depends on the expedient administration of care by a highly skilled team of rescuers. Rescuers working within a team must have a clear understanding of roles, responsibilities, and corresponding expectations. This course reaffirms the skills and tools used in resuscitation efforts, and focuses on the team-based approach to improve resuscitation performance and yield better patient outcomes.
