Tema: Exploramos a fondo qué son los sistemas de cuidado de paro cardiaco, cómo se estructuran, y por qué son vitales para mejorar la supervivencia de pacientes que sufren un paro cardiorrespiratorio, tanto dentro como fuera del hospital. En este episodio cubrimos:

Early CPR and defibrillation improve cardiac arrest outcomes. Here's why CPR is important and five ACLS tips to reduce CPR interruptions.Two factors to cardiac arrest survivability that have been clearly shown to make the most difference.The most common dysrhythmia present during the first few minutes of cardiac arrest.How our chance of successfully defibrillating a patient into a perfusing rhythm significantly changes when good CPR is delivered vs when it isn't.Why bystander CPR is important for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) outcomes.The role of the CPR coach.Five tips to aid us in limiting CPR interruptions to less than 10 seconds so we can maintain a chest compression fraction (CCF) of at least 80%.Good luck with your ACLS class!Links: Buy Me a Coffee at https://buymeacoffee.com/paultaylor Free Prescription Discount Card - Get your free drug discount card to save money on prescription medications for you and your pets: https://safemeds.vip/savePass ACLS Web Site - Other ACLS-related resources: https://passacls.com@Pass-ACLS-Podcast on LinkedIn

Advantages, disadvantages, and a selection of good CPR songs.Providing good, high-quality CPR with minimal interruptions and early defibrillation are two key interventions shown to improved cardiac arrest outcomes.A training tool used in many CPR and ACLS classes is to use a song (or a song list) to help the person doing chest compressions maintain an adequate rate.Characteristics of songs that will help us perform good CPR.Advantages & disadvantages of using a song during CPR.Selected songs from various genres and time periods from AHA's "Don't Drop The Beat" playlist on Spotify.**American Cancer Society (ACS) Fundraiser This is the seventh year that I'm participating in Men Wear Pink to increase breast cancer awareness and raise money for the American Cancer Society's life-saving mission.I hope you'll consider contributing.Every donation makes a difference in the fight against breast cancer!
