2020 AHA Guidelines for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care

Cardiac life support is a critical skill set for medical students to develop, as it equips them with the necessary knowledge and tools to respond effectively in life-threatening situations. It involves a systematic approach to managing cardiac emergencies, including the prompt recognition and treatment of various conditions, such as cardiac arrest, arrhythmias, and acute coronary syndromes. Training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), defibrillation, airway management, and administration of medications form an essential part of the cardiac life support curriculum. Ultimately, mastering these techniques will empower medical students to save lives and contribute significantly to better patient outcomes in their future careers.
