Good Sam 2.0
Being able to open any mobile phone camera enables triage of scene (mechanism of injury) and patient (physiology). This enables better resource allocation and can start treatment sooner.

Selective Aortic Arch Perfusion
Jim Manning tells us why the time is now for Selective Aortic Arch Perfusion in improving cardiac arrest outcomes.
Cardiac Arrest flow
Cardiac arrest physiology is an emerging field of research that may allow us to better understand why clinical trials of cardiac arrest have been so frustrating
Cardiac arrest system
A strong interdependent system of care can improve survival from out of hospital cardiac arrest, with Tony Walker ASM
Ultrasound in Cardiac Arrest
Does POCUS delay CPR in cardiac arrest? Should we be doing transesophageal echocardiography in the resus room? A pro-con case-based debate.
Allan Burns
Allan Burns (1781 - 1813) was a Scottish anatomist and surgeon. Remembered for his monograph on heart disease, resuscitation options in cardiac arrest and Burns ligament (1802)

Capnography in Cardiac Arrest
Current ILCOR guidelines advise that capnography is useful during cardiac arrest resuscitation. ETCO2 can be used as a surrogate marker of cardiac output
Prognosis After Cardiac Arrest
Prognosis After Cardiac Arrest incolves: the underlying cause of cardiac arrest (e.g. overdose vs dilated cardiomyopathy); presence of co-morbidities (e.g. metastatic cancer, dementia); use of targeted temperature management (therapeutic hypothermia); features of the the cardiac arrest and cardiovascular and neurological assessment
Post Cardiac Arrest Care
Post Cardiac Arrest Care: Priorities are prevent further cardiac arrest; define the underlying pathology; limit organ damage; predict non-survivors
