The Importance of Civility in Critical Care Resuscitation A 3-year-old patient with diabetic ketoacidosis arrives at your ED. However, education and training for healthcare professionals traditionally prioritise ‘hard skills’, particularly critical care resuscitation. Here are ten things to think about: 1.

CPR is taken over by responding crews, and he is placed on a cardiac monitor/defibrillator. The take home message: “Irrespective of presenting rhythm, in patients with cardiac arrest, there is no conclusive evidence that administration of calcium during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) improves survival.”

Interventions during the acute phase of treatment post return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) are therefore critical. 1 The primary goal of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is to optimize coronary perfusion pressure and maintain systemic perfusion in order to prevent neurologic and other end-organ damage while working to achieve ROSC.
