“When Edison is the Medicine: Tips for Defibrillation, Cardioversion and Pacing!”

Stryker & Saxe Healthcare Communications present*“When Edison is the Medicine: Tips for Defibrillation, Cardioversion and Pacing!”

Electrical therapies are designed to improve survival from sudden cardiac arrest and life-threatening arrhythmias. Whenever defibrillation is attempted, healthcare professionals must coordinate high-quality CPR with defibrillation to minimize interruptions in chest compressions and to ensure immediate resumption of chest compressions after shock delivery. However, using electrical therapy for defibrillation, cardioversion and pacing can be intimidating. This webinar will provide practical tips and strategies for successful use of energy levels for these situations. In addition, newer evidence for vagal maneuvers for supraventricular tachycardia will also be discussed.

Learning Objectives | Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

  1. Recognize the strategies that can improve shock success in ventricular fibrillation
  2. Describe techniques to successfully convert supraventricular tachycardia
  3. Discuss pacing therapy for symptomatic bradycardia
