Best Case Ever 1 Is Thrombolysis Better Than PCI for STEMI?
Our first Best Case Ever is from Dr. Steven Brooks, a co-author of the 2010 AHA Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care. This Best Case Ever is a bonus to Episode 12 ACLS Guidelines - What's New a Controversial, in which we discuss the frameworks of Cardiocerebral Rescusitation and the 3 phase model of rescucitation (electrical, circulatory and metabolic), the importance of high quality CPR, the de-emphasis on early ventilation and the utility of continuous quantitative waveform capnography. Dr. Brooks and Dr. Michael Feldman answer questions such as: of all the therapeutic manoeuvres we do for the cardiac arrest patient, which ones have been shown to improve survival to hospital discharge? What is the evidence for chest compression machines? What is the utility of point of care ultrasound (POCUS) in the cardiac arrest patient? Why is cardiac arrest survival to discharge in Seattle the best in the world? Should we be performing 'hands-on defibrillation'? and many more.....
