Hypothermia and Resuscitation Training Institute at Penn (HART) 2015

Hypothermia and Resuscitation Training Institute at Penn (HART) is an intensive two-day “boot camp” designed to educate relevant care providers on the use of targeted temperature management in critical illness and post-arrest and resuscitation care, as well as CPR quality, cardiac catheterization, internal cardiac defibrillator (ICD) consideration and advanced ICU care.

At the conclusion of this program, learners should be able to:
? Review the history, evidence and pathophysiology surrounding the use of TTM
? Create a working TTM protocol for their respective institutions
? Determine appropriate inclusion and exclusion criteria for patients
being considered for comprehensive care including temperature and hemodynamic management
? Implement TTM for patients at their respective institutions
? Develop a “post-cardiac arrest bundle” of care for their organization including the use of automatic external defibrillators, CPR quality improvement, and debriefing arrest events
