This modified workshop targets those interested in attending a full day CALS course and aims to describe the differences in Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Life Support (ALS) algorithms and training required to respond safely and effectively to cardiac arrest events in early post cardiac surgical patients.
Facilitators will demonstrate instruments used in Emergency Resternotomy and attendees will be guided in best practice with regard to internal cardiac massage and internal defibrillation. A series of short simulations will allow attendees to rotate through various roles and practice role allocation and the technical skills of resternotomy.
