Remember when we used to use stacked shocks for ventricular arrhythmias or load patients up with high doses of epinephrine and bicarb? Over the last 25 years, resuscitation guidelines have evolved and it’s our job to stay updated on the current protocols.

Here to help us break down what’s changed and what still works is Dr. Ashish Panchal, Chair of Emergency Cardiovascular Care for the AHA and host of the In the Heart of Care podcast. We discuss how a common cardiac arrest scenario would be treated from 2000 to today, highlighting key guideline changes like the shift to neuroprotective strategies, high-quality CPR, and post-arrest care.


Tune in to stay current and hear how science continues to shape the way we save lives!
