Summary
Key Learning Points
1. Good leadership during cardiac arrests can significantly impact chances of successful outcomes.
2. Early cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation are the core of good advanced life support (ALS) management.
3. Ventilation should be quickly optimised, with particular emphasis on avoiding overventilating patients.
4. Decisions to end CPR can be difficult but should be based on clinical judgement once reversible causes have been identified.
5. Data from all cardiac arrests are used for a national audit to ensure a widespread provision of a high-quality resus service.
