Description
The heart drives all the systems of the body. An impending cardiac emergency can take place during an office visit or in any community setting. For instance, a patient post-STEMI may experience significant and repeated concerns once back in their home environment, while being seen by their primary care provider, or in an urgent care setting. Providers across the continuum of care need the skills and insights to identify and prevent an emergency. As an intensive care nurse for nearly 30 years, Cyndi Zarbano, MSN-Ed, CCRN, PCCN, CMSRN, LNC, NLCP, has experienced a multitude of cardiovascular patient crises and is ready to share the lessons from her journey! Join her to explore five cardiac emergencies, assessment clues, and rapid interventions from cardiac arrest to third degree heart block!
