Take Heart Austin is proud to host this one-day educational event with one objective in mind – to improve the post resuscitation care of post cardiac arrest patients.  The day will feature nationally recognized researchers and leaders in the field of cardiac arrest resuscitation.  The conference will focus on caring for the cardiac arrest patient after return of pulses and until discharge and completion of rehabilitation.  Several of our speakers were also actively involved in the development of the 2010 American Heart Association Guidelines for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care.  Since the conference will occur less than 2 weeks following the planned release of the Guidelines, speakers will be able to include in their presentations any applicable post resuscitation care Guidelines.  Considering the variety of healthcare professionals involved in the post resuscitation care of cardiac arrest patients, the conference’s target audience includes EMS providers, EMS System Medical Directors, Emergency Department Physicians and Nurses, Cardiac Catheterization Lab Staff, Cardiologists, Critical Care Physicians and Nurses, Critical Care Neurologists, Critical Care Respiratory Therapists, Rehabilitation Staff and all others who champion efforts to improve neurologically intact survival from sudden cardiac arrest.  Austin-area designated Resuscitation Centers are encouraged to spread the word within their hospitals to better prepare for future Resuscitation Center designation criteria.  All others are encouraged to spread the word to colleagues interested in learning more about Post Cardiac Arrest Resuscitation Care.
