Ep 215 Cardiac Arrest Update: Beyond the 2025 Guidelines Part 1: CPR, Defibrillation and Ventilation

In this EM Cases update on cardiac arrest management, Dr. Sheldon Cheskes and Dr. Rob Simard join Anton to walk us through the evolving science and bedside practicalities of cardiac arrest management in the wake of the 2025 ACLS Guidelines. They answer questions such as: What are the most common failures in CPR quality, and how can we recognize and correct them in real time? Should we employ head up CPR, and if so how? How should we interpret ETCO₂ during cardiac arrest, and why shouldn’t we chase a single number? How can we minimize peri-shock pauses and optimize defibrillation success at the bedside? Is the traditional two-minute CPR cycle too rigid, and should we be shocking earlier in cases of refibrillation? What is the evidence behind dual sequential external defibrillation (DSED), and when should we use it? After 3 shocks or earlier? How does hyperventilation during cardiac arrest harm patients, and what strategies can reliably prevent it? What is compression-adjusted ventilation (CAV), and how can it improve ventilation consistency during resuscitation? What is the optimal dose of epinephrine in patient with Ventricular Fibrillation? and many more...
