Citizen CPR Foundation’s Cardiac Arrest Survival Summit (CASSummit) is the central hub for resuscitation professionals, educators, experts, influencers and advocates, as well as the top decision-makers for resuscitation products, services and information. The Summit brings together anyone interested in improving community response to sudden cardiac arrest for a multi-day conference to connect, learn and discuss the newest insights related to SCA.

Everybody can do this!

It starts with a thought, 'I think I can.' Then it grows into a belief, 'I know I can.' And finally, it becomes an unshakeable truth, 'I can, and I will!'

One person's passionate presence can transform everything.

Join me to become HEARTSafe, because everything is better when we do BIG things together!

Thank you Dr. Amy King ❤️

High-performance resuscitation is not just a skill set—it's a mindset that every healthcare team member must adopt.

One of the biggest hurdles in achieving excellence in resuscitation is the gap between knowledge and its practical application, especially under high-pressure situations.

The key is familiarity and competence, not just with procedures but also with the equipment involved.

When teams practice together, they build the kind of communication that is crucial in emergencies. This is where the importance of clinical team building comes in.

In real-world scenarios, moments often come down to seamless communication and the intuitive understanding of each team member’s role.

Thank you Dale Barzey-Pond for a wonderful discussion about all things nursing!

The synergy between nurses and patients in emergencies, particularly cardiac arrest, hinges on aligning the mindset and skillset of nurses with the patient's immediate needs.

Cardiac arrest response is not a specialty confined to critical care. Patients must receive immediate and competent care, regardless of their location in the hospital.

Supporting an inclusive Basic Life Support (BLS) rapid response format involves ensuring that inpatient nurses and other healthcare professionals across all departments have the training and confidence to perform life-saving skills.

A well-coordinated BLS rapid response can significantly improve patient outcomes in cases of cardiac arrest.

Having code confidence is cool, and saving a life is cooler 😎

Nine minutes!!

In a hospital setting, the goal is to minimize the time from cardiac arrest recognition to the first defibrillation shock for patients in ventricular fibrillation (VF) or pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT).

The importance of a rapid response - ideally aiming for the first shock to be administered within a few minutes of cardiac arrest.

By analyzing every step, from the moment of recognition to the delivery of the first shock, hospitals can identify where delays occur and work on strategies to overcome these.

Remember, every second counts and improvements in this area can lead to significantly better outcomes for patients experiencing cardiac events.
