  • Title: Evaluation of a cardiac surgery advanced life support course.
    Author: Danitsch D, Levine A, Choudrey S, Dunning J, Ariffin S, Jerstice J.
    Journal: Nurs Times; ; 102(9):30-2. PubMed ID: 16539320.
    Abstract:
    The most critical emergency situation seen in cardiac surgical units is the need for chest reopening. While senior nurses often manage cardiac arrest they currently are not trained to open chests, which can be a life-saving action if performed efficiently. This article evaluates a three-day cardiac surgery advanced life support course with protocols to manage critically ill cardiac surgical patients who suffer a cardiac arrest and who need their chest reopening.
