Cardiac Arrest!

There is nothing more dramatic in emergency medicine or exemplary of our specialty than the management of cardiac arrest. This is nothing less than bringing the dead back to life! Management of these patients brings together all of the key principles of our specialty, such as emergency airway management; knowledge of emergency cardiology, pulmonology, neurology, and pharmacology; procedural and point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) expertise; and team leadership. Television and other forms of popular media typically show cardiac arrest as a routine scenario in the emergency department.
