High-quality Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is the foundation of successful cardiac arrest management and a critical skill for all healthcare professionals. This session focuses on the science and practice of effective chest compressions, timely defibrillation, and coordinated team response. Participants will review current guidelines on compression depth, rate, recoil, and minimizing interruptions, as well as the role of early recognition and rapid activation of emergency systems. The goal is to translate evidence into efficient, life-saving performance in real-world settings.

As resuscitation guidelines evolve, clinicians and educators seek a focused cardiology conference to harmonize training, simulation, and in-hospital code systems. This session explores best practices for basic and advanced life support in adults and, where relevant, adaptations for pediatric and special populations. Attendees will learn about feedback devices, real-time quality metrics, and post-event debriefing techniques that turn every resuscitation into a learning opportunity. Practical scenarios will address challenges such as CPR in prone patients, during procedures, and in resource-limited environments.

A key theme is structuring advanced life support training programs that maintain competence over time. Participants will discuss optimal training intervals, blended learning models, and strategies for keeping staff engaged beyond mandatory courses. The session covers the integration of CPR skills with airway management, drug administration, and rhythm recognition as part of advanced cardiac life support algorithms. Emphasis is placed on teamwork, closed-loop communication, leadership roles, and clear assignment of tasks during codes.

The session also addresses systems-level issues—establishing rapid response teams, optimizing arrest locations and equipment placement, and using data from registries to drive continuous improvement. By the end, attendees will be able to design and participate in CPR and advanced life support programs that improve survival and neurological outcomes after cardiac arrest in both in-hospital and out-of-hospital settings.
