Sudden cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death among adults,
yet it need not be fatal. Though survival in most communities is
very poor, a few communities achieve rates as high as 50%. Why are
some communities so successful in snatching life from the jaws of
death? Resuscitate! describes the steps any EMS system can take to
improve cardiac arrest survival. It is written for the medical
directors, administrative directors, fire chiefs, dispatch
directors, and program supervisor who direct and run EMS systems
all across the country, and for the EMTs, paramedics, and
dispatchers who provide frontline care. This second edition of
Resuscitate! provides fifteen concrete steps to improve survival.
Four steps will lead to rapid improvements at the local level and
are relatively easy to implement. Six additional steps are more
difficult to implement but also likely to improve survival. The
remaining steps recommend changes at the national level.
Resuscitate! is the official textbook for the Resuscitation
Academy, held twice a year in Seattle. Cosponsored by Seattle Medic
One, King County EMS, and the Medic One Foundation, the Academy
draws attendees from throughout the world for two intensive days of
classes, demonstrations, and workshops to acquire the knowledge and
tools to improve survival in their own communities. This new
edition includes lessons learned from attendees of the Academy as
well as from the faculty's evolving thoughts on how to measure
performance and improve survival, one community at a time. It also
includes an addendum on the Resuscitation Academy
(resuscitationacademy.org). For more than thirty years, Mickey S.
Eisenberg M.D., Ph.D. , has played a leading role in developing
King County, Washington's emergency response to cases of sudden
cardiac arrest, a system recognized as among the very best in the
nation. He is a professor of medicine at the University of
Washington and serves as the medical director of King County
Emergency Medical Services.
