511                                    We’re all here because we are dedicated to saving lives through CPR. We’ve
512                                    experienced first-hand the triumphs and devastations of cardiac arrest – and we want
513                                    more happy endings. We’ve all been working hard to increase the number of people
514                                    trained in CPR, and the percentage of arrests that receive lay rescuer CPR.
515                                    <br> <br> But despite all these efforts, there are still too many arrests that don’t
516                                    get CPR. Too many potentially preventable deaths. So what else can we do?
517                                    <br><br>That’s exactly why we created cardiacSTAR - a revolutionary CPR training
518                                    game designed to empower lay rescuers with mechanical AND emotional skills so they
519                                    are ready to act the second they witness a cardiac arrest. It was born out of 10
520                                    years of research by Dr. Lorrel Toft (cardiac critical care) in collaboration with
521                                    Emmy award-winning film director Martin Percy. cardiacSTAR harnesses the power of
522                                    dramatic, realistic interactive film, team-based gameplay, and hands-only CPR
523                                    practice. cardiacSTAR puts learners into the role of a lay rescuer, responding to a
524                                    cardiac arrest in real-time. Teams must answer questions to determine how the heroes
525                                    will react, and practice CPR and using an AED along with the heroes of the film.
526                                    <br><br>Think CPR training meets “Family Feud.” It’s fun, engaging, immersive, and
527                                    builds confidence so lay rescuers are ready to save lives. cardiacSTAR is CPR
528                                    training – evolved. It allows more b
528ystanders to learn CPR in less time, it requires

834                                    There is a national focus on improving pediatric readiness and survival in both EMS
835                                    and community ED settings. With recent reports highlighting significant variability
836                                    in pediatric emergency care preparedness, our goal is to bridge those gaps by
837                                    equipping providers with the hands-on skills and rapid assessment techniques they
838                                    need for high-stakes situations.

840                                    This training is especially relevant now, given national momentum around pediatric
841                                    emergency readiness and updated AHA resuscitation guidelines.

843                                    In the critical moments of pediatric emergencies, EMS providers and community
844                                    Emergency Department (ED) teams must work seamlessly to deliver life-saving care.

998                                    Over the past two decades, the emphasis in CPR has predominantly been on chest
999                                    compressions. While this remains essential, recent studies underscore the
1000                                    significant impact of High-Quality Ventilation on survival rates and neurological
1001                                    outcomes. A 2023 study by Idris et al., involving approximately 2000 patients,
1002                                    demonstrated that adequate ventilation can triple survival rates and quadruple the
1003                                    number of patients discharged from hospital with favorable neurological outcomes.
1004                                    <br><br>
1005                                    Despite this, recent studies consistently highlight the inadequate training of
1006                                    rescuers. Many patients are either hypo or hyper-ventilated, significantly reducing
1007                                    their chances of survival. Even more concerning, instructors often struggle to
1008                                    accurately evaluate the participants in their courses. This inability to provide
1009                                    proper assessments hinders the overall effectiveness of the training, leading to
1010                                    gaps in knowledge and skills that can have serious consequences in real-world
1011                                    scenarios.
1012                                    <br><br>
1013                                    Given these findings, it is crucial for rescuers to learn High-Performance

1015                                    and ventilation rates, directly impacting patient outcomes. By improving both the

1075                                    Comprehensive Cardiac Emergency Response Plans are essential in prevention of sudden
1076                                    cardiac death and are increasingly required by state legislation. Many states are
1077                                    passing legislation requiring schools to implement CERPs. Project ADAM has over 25
1078                                    years of experience with implementing CERPs in the community. With all the new and
1079                                    upcoming legislation, it’s important to know all the key components to make a
1080                                    successful and sustainable plan.

1082                                    On any given day, as many as 20 percent of the entire United States population is in
1083                                    a school. Research has shown that early access to CPR and defibrillation with an AED
1084                                    can improve outcomes and chances of survival. Protecting children and adults in
1085                                    schools is an important public health and safety measure.

1120                                    Sudden cardiac arrest remains one of the leading causes of prehospital death, yet
1121                                    AEDs, while widely available, are often underutilized due to gaps in awareness,
1122                                    access, and system integration, particularly within residential communities. This
1123                                    workshop is timely because it addresses those gaps head-on with a scalable,
1124                                    systems-based approach that unites EMS protocols, public safety infrastru

1141                                    30.6%—all while building policy and funding support through the County Commission.
1142                                    What makes this model replicable is its focus on system alignment—from GIS and
1143                                    registry mapping to community outreach and governance. The workshop breaks down
1144                                    practical tools for integrating AEDs across jurisdictions, including training
1145                                    workflows, engagement strategies for private communities, and templates for agency

1189                                    Hear from resuscitation experts from the American Heart Association (AHA) for an
1190                                    in-depth session focused on the latest updates to the Pediatric Advanced Life
1191                                    Support (PALS) science and educational guidelines, as outlined in the highly
1192                                    anticipated 2025 AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC. This session will cover how these
1193                                    updates will directly impact healthcare providers in clinical and prehospital
1194                                    settings when caring for critically ill or injured pediatric patients.
1195                                    <br><br>
1196                                    Participants will gain valuable insights as AHA experts discuss the most significant
1197                                    changes in PALS protocols. The session will explore the science behind essential
1198                                    pediatric resuscitation interventions, including airway management, advanced
1199                                    cardiovascular care, and managing acute respiratory distress in children, with a
1200                                    focus on improving outcomes for patients during emergencies such as cardiac arrest,
1201                                    severe trauma, and respiratory failure.

1203                                    This session will explore the new AHA 2025 AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC and their
1204                                    impact on clinical orientation/practice and CPR training. In these sessions we'll
1205                                    examine the driving forces behind these changes in the PALS protocols and their
1206                                    practical implications for healthcare professionals. Experts will discuss the
1207                                    "why"—the research, guidelines, and real-world experiences that have shaped new
1208                                    approaches to CPR education. They will also break down the "what"—the specific
1209                                    modifications in teaching methodologies, skill assessments, and integration into
1210                                    clinical practice.

1212                                    Attendees will gain insight into how these updates enhance patient outcomes, improve
1213                                    provider competency, and align with evolving standards in emergency care. Whether
1214                                    you're an educator, clinician, or administrator, this discussion will provide
1215                                    valuable perspectives on the future of CPR instruction and clinical readiness.

1275                                    Arizona, the "Conference for Citizen CPR" has combined  plenary presentations from
1276                                    visionary leaders with earnest discussions amongst a "constituency of millions" to

1281                                    45 years of Citizen CPR conferences.  They will highlight the "behind the scenes"
1282                                    stories that bring these extraordinary innovative leaps to life: AEDs and public
1283                                    access defibrillation, hands-only CPR,  telecommunicator CPR,  mechanical CPR,
1284                                    therapeutic hypothermia, E-CPR, low-dose/high frequency CPR training, TV media
1285                                    messaging, NFL/FIFA mass CPR training, and "Stayin' Alive" pop-music CPR training.

1287                                    They will also reflect on why some great ideas and concepts have failed to "catch
1288                                    on" or  "stick": minimally invasive device-CPR, mast-trouser/aortic occlusion CPR,
1289                                    Abdominal compression CPR, Credit Card CPR feedback devices and mitochondrial

1369                                    Hans H. Dahll played a crucial role in the creation of the Citizen CPR Foundation,
1370                                    serving as treasurer. His dedication to advancing CPR and emergency cardiovascular
1371                                    care (ECC) on national and international levels has left a lasting legacy in the

1374                                    The Hans H. Dahll Award recognizes outstanding contributions to the field of
1375                                    cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care (ECC).
1376                                    Established in 1988 in honor of Hans H. Dahll, a founding director of the Citizen
1377                                    CPR Foundation, this prestigious award celebrates individuals who have made

1380                                    This year’s winner is Laurie Morrison, MD. She is an international leader in
1381                                    resuscitation, with many substantive contributions to advance CPR and ECC. Dr.
1382                                    Morrison’s resuscitation leadership began as a pioneering woman Director of
1383                                    Emergency Medicine at the University of Toronto (1992-2006) and accelerated markedly
1384                                    over three decades resulting in a global reputation for strong research and
1385                                    leadership in the field. She was the first Canadian woman in Emergency Medicine with
1386                                    an endowed chair in research.

1388                                    In the spirit of the award we will celebrate a legacy of success in pushing the
1389                                    survival envelope after cardiac arrest and identify current gaps in knowledge that
1390                                    have the potential to save even more lives and transform quality of life.

1623                                Want to have a great day at work? Teach someone with a disability how to do CPR. This presentation includes a case study of how emergency responders in San Diego are implementing CPR training programs for those with Access and Functional Needs (AFN) in their communities.  As resuscitation professionals, we have always said that everyone needs to know CPR, but we have also not provided access to training for all. For example, many in the AFN community have not been offered CPR training. At best because they were overlooked. At worst because they were told they could not learn CPR because of their disability.  Learn how to develop accessible CPR classes, find community partners to help hold trainings, successfully modify your CPR classes to be more accessible and overcome your hesitations and concerns to reach more in y
1623our community.

1662                                    Across the US, extreme events are becoming more intense, occurring more often and
1663                                    causing more damage. The average number of major US weather-related disasters a year
1664                                    has increased sixfold since 1990. Communities are coping with new kinds of extreme
1665                                    events, like new infectious diseases and extreme heat in places with historically
1666                                    moderate climates. Cascading extreme events magnify impact: a third of the deaths
1667                                    caused by Hurricane Beryl were attributed to the subsequent heat wave and widespread
1668                                    power outages.

1670                                    This has implications for time-sensitive emergency response, as well as community
1671                                    planning, preparation, recovery and rebuilding: we will need more people ready to
1672                                    respond and those people need to be ready to respond in new ways and to new events.

1675                                    In this interactive session, you will work together to explore what this might mean
1676                                    in your communities.  We will begin with data that describes the changing frequency
1677                                    and kinds of extreme events and the areas and populations at risk in those events.
1678                                    You will use that data to anticipate the need for time-sensitive emergency response
1679                                    and explore ways to meet that need. From there, we will explore what that means for
1680                                    CPR awareness and training goals, review factors for performing CPR safely in
1681                                    extreme heat and explore strategies to minimize the number of heat-wave-related
1682                                    heart attacks in the first place. You will leave the workshop with ideas to help

1713                                    Every year, lifesaving research emerges within the resuscitation community—yet
1714                                    crucial information often remains locked behind professional barriers, inaccessible
1715                                    or unclear to the general public. A critical consequence of this disconnect is
1716                                    evident in persistent gender disparities in CPR outcomes: women are significantly
1717                                    less likely to receive bystander CPR, leading to dramatically lower survival rates
1718                                    compared to men. This disparity arises from cultural taboos, anatomical
1719                                    misconceptions, inadequate or incomplete training, and ineffective communication
1720                                    strategies.

1722                                    Addressing this challenge demands innovative collaboration. In this session,
1723                                    resuscitation expert Dr. Benjamin Abella will present compelling, current research
1724                                    highlighting and quantifying gender disparities in CPR intervention and survival. He
1725                                    will clarify why these disparities persist, illuminating how research findings often
1726                                    fail to reach or resonate with lay rescuers.

1728                                    Bethany Keime, co-founder of HeartCharged, an advocacy organization dedicated to
1729                                    preventing unnecessary deaths from sudden cardiac arrest through public education
1730                                    and innovative outreach strategies, along with Aubi Nemeth, doctoral candidate,
1731                                    Cardiac CRNA, advanced life support instructor, and passionate CPR advocate, will
1732                                    share groundbreaking methods to translate complex scientific findings into
1733                                    relatable, compelling outreach campaigns. Leveraging humor, social media, dynamic
1734                                    storytelling, and multimedia approaches, they demonstrate how strategically designed
1735                                    content can dramatically shift public attitudes and drive equitable bystander

1738                                    Presenters will share relatable examples demonstrating how social media can
1739                                    effectively communicate evidence-based CPR research and guidelines, significantly
1740                                    improving public awareness and lay responder confidence. The session will also
1741                                    provide realistic, achievable methods to address common barriers, enhance
1742                                    inclusivity in CPR education, and inspire equitable community action.

1744                                    Further, the session explores responses to these campaigns from trainers, trainees,
1745                                    social media audiences, retailers, and broader community groups, showcasing
1746                                    measurable impacts on awareness and behavior. An interactive discussion 
1746will
1747                                    reinforce real-world applications and offer guidance for integrating these
1748                                    strategies into local training programs.

1873                                    In today’s fast-paced hospital environment, rapid response teams (RRTs) are
1874                                    essential. They save lives. They intervene when patients show signs of
1875                                    deterioration. But what makes a successful RRT? Knowledge, teamwork and effective
1876                                    communication.

2059                                    hospital staff, and lay responders has undergone a transformative evolution—and the
2060                                    momentum is only accelerating. This session will spotlight the most impactful

2091                                    Learn new insights to improve pre-hospital cardiac arrest care. Understand how the
2092                                    public is expected to step in; from performing CPR and using AEDs to lifting and
2093                                    moving victims. While these actions are vital, many of us are unknowingly burdened
2094                                    with tasks that may not be as effective or could even worsen the situation. We’ll
2095                                    explore how these expectations may unintentionally harm both victims and
2096                                    bystanders.

2098                                    Bystanders, often untrained and unsure, are placed under immense pressure to perform
2099                                    CPR. Mental health impacts on co-survivors are also often overlooked. Missteps like
2100                                    moving victims onto hard surfaces or misjudging their breathing and responsiveness,
2101                                    are more common than we think. Add in challenges with non-English speakers or issues
2102                                    that arise when care is initiated in public, and it becomes clear that changes are
2103                                    urgently needed.

2105                                    Join us to learn how we can shift the paradigm, improve pre-hospital care and reduce
2106                                    the burden on the public during these critical moments. This discussion is vital for
2107                                    healthcare professionals, first responders and community members alike.

2250                                    The Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival (CARES) and the National Emergency
2251                                    AED Registry (NEAR) have combined forces (data) to make it much easier for
2252                                    communities to identify coverage gaps and optimize AED placement. In partnership
2253                                    with NEAR and CARES, agencies can deploy community-facing cardiac arrest frequency
2254                                    maps that include nearby AED availability (or lack thereof). These maps can help
2255                                    identify and target areas that are most in need of AEDs. The integration of CARES
2256                                    and National AED Registry data offers a powerful tool to improve OHCA outcomes
2257                                    through strategic AED placement and faster emergency response times. Through the
2258                                    mapping and data visualization tool, emergency response teams and public health
2259                                    officials can visualize, analyze and act on these insights, ultimately reducing

2322                                    We’re all here because we are dedicated to saving lives through CPR. We’ve
2323                                    experienced first-hand the triumphs and devastations of cardiac arrest – and we want
2324                                    more happy endings. We’ve all been working hard to increase the number of people
2325                                    trained in CPR, and the percentage of arrests that receive lay rescuer CPR.
2326                                    <br><Br>
2327                                    But despite all these efforts, there are still too many arrests that don’t get CPR.
2328                                    Too many potentially preventable deaths. So what else can we do?

2330                                    That’s exactly why we created cardiacSTAR - a revolutionary CPR training game
2331                                    designed to empower lay rescuers with mechanical AND emotional skills, so they are
2332                                    ready to act the second they witness a cardiac arrest. It was born out of 10 years
2333                                    of research by Dr. Lorrel Toft (cardiac critical care) in collaboration with
2334                                    award-winning film director Martin Percy. cardiacSTAR harnesses the power of
2335                                    dramatic, realistic interactive film, team-based gameplay, and hands-only CPR
2336                                    practice. cardiacSTAR puts learners into the role of a lay rescuer, responding to a
2337                                    cardiac arrest in real-time. Teams must answer questions to determine how the heroes
2338                                    will react, and practice CPR and using an AED along with the heroes of the film.
2339                                    Think CPR training meets “Family Feud.” It’s fun, engaging, immersive, and builds
2340                                    confidence so lay rescuers are ready to save lives. cardiacSTAR is CPR training –
2341                                    evolved. It allows more bystanders to learn CPR in less time, it requires less
2342                                    equipment, and the learning is measurably more effective.

2376                                    Join us in connecting the new American Heart Association drowning resuscitation
2377                                    guidelines to aquatic safety industry best practices. In a short time, you will
2378                                    learn the drowning chain of survival and how it compares to other agency standards.
2379                                    It is estimated that over 90% of ALL drownings are preventable. You will understand
2380                                    the role of prevention in the chain of survival. You will gain insights into what
2381                                    lifeguards train for and how to adapt to situations not addressed in training. We
2382                                    will discuss the role of the AED in an aquatic environment and when it is most
2383                                    beneficial to use. We will attempt to shift the thinking behind media-coined
2384                                    terminology pertaining to drowning and its outcomes. Throughout this presentation,
2385                                    we will swim through the drowning resuscitation guidelines to ensure you walk away
2386                                    (or swim) proficient in aquatic-based response to drowning events and how to prevent

2394                                    Seconds count in drowning emergencies. Drowning-related cardiac arrests differ from
2395                                    typical cardiac arrests, requiring a unique approach to resuscitation. The City of
2396                                    Phoenix has developed a leading-edge training model using high-fidelity simulations,
2397                                    real-world scenarios and a diverse lifeguard recruitment strategy. Their approach
2398                                    enhances response times, improves survival rates and builds community trust. 
2399                                    <br><br>Lifeguards and first responders must act fast. Oxygen deprivation sets in
2400                                    quickly, and without immediate intervention, survival chances plummet. Phoenix’s
2401                                    program prioritizes rapid rescue breathing, hands-on CPR techniques and AED
2402                                    integration. Their rigorous training ensures lifeguards can perform under pressure.
2403                                    However, Phoenix also tackles barriers to lifeguard recruitment. By diversifying its
2404                                    workforce, the city ensures a culturally competent, community-reflective response
2405                                    team. Representation matters—rescue effectiveness improves when lifeguards connect
2406                                    with the communities they serve.

2511                                    International ambulance services have studied and used video technology in OHCA to
2512                                    improve the quality of CPR delivery as well as identify patients in cardiac arrest
2513                                    who may not have been recognized through conventional triage. Despite a plethora of
2514                                    community resources and assets available to United Kingdom (UK) EMS in cardiac
2515                                    arrest, the deployment and utilization is arbitrary. In a UK first, this project
2516                                    establishes a dedicated resource in the EMS dispatch center, staffed by an advanced
2517                                    paramedic, to deliver the first ever UK video-assisted CPR to improve quality of
2518                                    bystander CPR, deliver timely defibrillation and manage non-viable resuscitation.

2521                                    This novel approach to assessment and management of OHCA in the dispatch center
2522                                    seeks to drive improvement in survival by ensuring that all available community
2523                                    resources are utilized. The unique setup of UK ambulance services relies heavily on
2524                                    the public and volunteers to respond to cardiac arrest. Learn how we seek to
2525                                    overcome inequalities in resuscitation and identify opportunities to nuance pre-EMS
2526                                    care.

2528                                    There is also increasing recognition of the emotional burden OHCA places on
2529                                    bystanders. We seek to ensure a pathway for support is established for all those
2530                                    involved in a resuscitation attempt. With an advanced paramedic interrogating and
2531                                    intervening in every cardiac arrest call, we hope to understand the benefit and
2532                                    drawbacks of senior clinical input at the point of the 999 (911) call to EMS. How
2533                                    does the caller feel having a paramedic on video during a cardiac arrest? Is it
2534                                    reassuring or pressurizing? Will video reduce the number of inappropriate
2535                                    resuscitation attempts? Can we improve CPR quality, reduce hands off chest time and

2575                                    High-quality CPR is critical to survival from cardiac arrest—but too often, CPR
2576                                    performance is assumed to be adequate without objective measurement. In 2016, one
2577                                    hospital began collecting CPR quality data to understand actual performance—and the
2578                                    findings were sobering. Only 2% of compressions met AHA targets for both rate and
2579                                    depth. More than 70% were too fast, and pauses were frequent and prolonged. What
2580                                    followed was a seven-year journey of unwavering commitment to improve resuscitation
2581                                    care and outcomes—marked by continuous improvement and a relentless pursuit of
2582                                    perfect CPR, every time. Attend this session to learn how you can help improve CPR

2589                                    Unrecognized clinical deterioration remains one of the most common and preventable
2590                                    causes of in-hospital harm. This session outlines a multi-year, system-wide effort
2591                                    to reduce non-ICU cardiac arrests by improving early recognition and timely

2594                                    Initial analysis revealed common themes: lack of situational awareness,
2595                                    communication breakdowns, and delays in transfer to higher levels of care.
2596                                    Recognizing the need for shared mental models and proactive detection, the team
2597                                    created and implemented a "wat
2597cher" program based on literature and national best
2598                                    practices. This initiative identified high-risk patients early and brought clinical
2599                                    teams into alignment around potential deterioration.

2601                                    All non-ICU cardiac arrests and late transfers to the ICU were reviewed within six
2602                                    hours to identify gaps and opportunities for improvement. Common system breakdowns
2603                                    were addressed, and real-time data helped the team close loops and build
2604                                    accountability.

2606                                    The result was a significant reduction in acute care arrests in the Emergency
2607                                    Department and fewer late transfers to the ICU. This session offers practical

2661                                    Cardiac arrest is rarely referred to as “traumatic” in the current literature.
2662                                    Cardiac arrest occurs quickly and often without warning, leaving loved ones — who we
2663                                    label co-survivors — feeling helpless and out of control. This loss of control is a
2664                                    significant factor in the development of conditions like PTSD, as it shakes the
2665                                    foundational belief in one’s ability to protect oneself and others. Lenore Terr, a
2666                                    child psychiatrist, writes, “psychic trauma occurs when a sudden, unexpected,
2667                                    overwhelming intense emotional blow or a series of blows assaults the person from
2668                                    outside. Traumatic events are external, but they quickly become incorporated into
2669                                    the mind”. To understand what trauma does to those impacted by cardiac arrest, we
2670                                    have to understand what it is. We will discuss with the audience how the trauma of
2671                                    witnessing cardiac arrest can add additional complexity to the co-survivor lived

2852                                    According to the World Health Organization, approximately 1.19 million people die
2853                                    each year secondary to road traffic injuries (RTI), with 85% of these fatalities and
2854                                    90% of the disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) occurring on the roads in low- and
2855                                    middle-income countries (LMIC). In Sub-Saharan Africa, RTI contribute to over
2856                                    280,000 DALYs annually—a significant public health burden. Notably, over 60% of
2857                                    life-threatening bleeding injuries occur in the upper and lower extremities yet
2858                                    delays in emergency response often exacerbates outcomes. To bridge the critical gap
2859                                    in prehospital care, especially in LMIC, it is essential to equip both professional

2866                                    traffic corridors. Results demonstrated the feasibility of scaling this approach,
2867                                    including a fourfold training multiplier when Indian high school children were

2889                                    trauma, this program is providing a novel approach to prehospital care. The program
2890                                    aims to address the critical gap in trauma care by offering blood transfusions
2891                                    before patients reach the hospital, with the goal of improving survival outcomes.

3253                                    Cardiac arrest among children leaves lasting negative effects on the emotional
3254                                    well-being of parents and accentuates caregiver burden. Parents and caregivers, the
3255                                    co-survivors, experience the uncertainty associated with informational gaps and
3256                                    limited knowledge. Many express feelings of loss and are unprepared for what comes
3257                                    next. Despite the significant impact of these experiences, informational resources
3258                                    remain fragmented. Families have largely been left to their own devices to navigate
3259                                    their way back to emotional well-being and caregiving. There has been no “one place”

3263                                    This session explores how a pediatric-focused North American writing group, composed
3264                                    of parents, young survivors, researchers, and clinicians, came together to fill this
3265                                    critical gap. In a very systematic way, the group developed an accessible,
3266                                    lay-friendly, multilingual informational resource for supporting and educating
3267                                    stakeholders. The group’s collaborative process focused on identifying key
3268                                    challenges, structuring an inclusive team, and creating content that blends
3269                                    evidence-based and trusted knowledge with lived experiences.

3272                                    information as an intervention to reduce uncertainty and in turn reduce emotional
3273                                    distress in parents and caregivers of pediatric cardiac arrest survivors. We will
3274                                    discuss how to build multidisciplinary and diverse collaborations, structure
3275                                    efforts, and develop sustainable scalable resources. The discussion will explore the
3276                                    journey of shared stories, provide a knowledge base, and engage in multi-site
3277                                    collaboration to achieve various perspectives. By examining the barriers, lessons
3278                                    learned, and future directions of this initiative, attendees will leave with
3279                                    practical strategies to enhance survivorship care within their institutions and

3287                                    Many factors contribute to the psychological distress a lay responder may experience
3288                                    after witnessing a sudden cardiac arrest. PulsePoint requests the immediate
3289                                    assistance of hundreds of CPR-trained and AED-equipped responders every day and is
3290                                    committed to providing them with the focused mental health resources they may need.
3291                                    Because PulsePoint has the ability to contact responders after they participate in a
3292                                    cardiac arrest incident, the foundation is in a unique position to help address
3293                                    distressing thoughts related to their experience. After a CPR/AED-needed event,
3294                                    users that were sent an alert receive a PulsePoint post-incident survey. In this
3295                                    session Halle Price will present psychological distress findings from more than
3296                                    2,700 responders and review key support strategies implemented by the PulsePoint
3297                                    Foundation and their industry partners Cardiac Arrest Survivor Alliance (CASA) and
3298                                    Heartsight. Halle will also discuss key partnerships with public safety
3299                                    organizations to utilize local resources such as department chaplains and crisis

3405                                    death, with approximately 220,000 CPAs occurring annually. Recent evidence
3406                                    underscores the efficacy of Continuous Chest Compressions (hands-only CPR) in
3407                                    improving neurological outcomes, shifting paradigms in resuscitation science.

3474                                    initiative, publishing a set of guidelines for teaching CPR to schoolchildren.
3475                                    Since then, numerous studies have explored different teaching methodologies,
3476                                    assessing their effectiveness in skill acquisition. While all methods facilitate
3477                                    learning, some prove superior when compared directly; Classroom methodologies
3478                                    like project-based learning, which integrates multiple subjects to develop
3479                                    competencies, have shown positive results in CPR training. Prior research
3480                                    suggests that interdisciplinary approaches improve engagement and retention

As part of this collaboration, SHF’s Save-A-Life team conducted Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices (KAP) surveys every few years to assess public sentiments of Singapore residents towards CPR & AED. 
3523<br><br>
3524The surveys’ results over the years showed a change in public attitudes and highlighted gaps in terms of knowledge. We use this data to conceptualize our yearly social media campaign.  
3525<br><br>
3526In 2024, we came up with the concept of the AED Man, to show that AEDs may look tough but are easy to use. In 2025, we rehashed an AED Hunt social media contest, which previously ran in 2021, but featured different brands of AEDs that can be found in public. These campaigns help raise public awareness about AEDs and how to use them.

3642                                    While people may work in an EMS, healthcare or educational system and aim to
3643                                    solve the problems in that system, they rarely apply a systems-based approach.
3644                                    We often tend to classify these difficult problems as “complicated” for which an
3645                                    analytic approach — the foundation of the scientific method — are appropriate
3646                                    and effective. But, time-sensitive emergencies are not only complicated, but
3647                                    they are also “complex.” They share interconnected elements and are
3648                                    characterized by uncertainty, unpredictability, dynamic change and non-linearity
3649                                    for which analytic thinking may be insufficient. This is when systems thinking,
3650                                    and approaches are appropriate and effective.

3652                                    This is not a trivial endeavor. It is not commonly used because while analytic
3653                                    thinking is embedded into our educational curricula, system thinking is not. It
3654                                    is rarely taught, learned or applied. Yet, there are some notable examples of
3655                                    system-theory-informed approaches that can be models for EMS problem-solving.

3776                                    After a “save” OR a death from SCA, survivors, co-survivors and families are
3777                                    left searching to understand and process their experiences. They often
3778                                    experience significant anxiety and depression as well as post-traumatic stress
3779                                    disorder symptoms and have physical health issues to deal with. The first step
3780                                    in recovery from these events is personal healing and, of course, varies
3781                                    dramatically from person to person and family to family.
3782                                    <br><br>
3783                                    Next steps in the post-SCA journey can be healing for many survivors and
3784                                    families and can include on-line, group, or individual support of other affected
3785                                    persons and sharing their stories and recovery. As survivors continue to heal,
3786                                    many become active in education and AED placement and distribution. Another step
3787                                    is when the process of education becomes more formalized as survivors and
3788                                    families often form nonprofit local or regional organizations that start to
3789                                    systematize the teaching process.
3790                                    <br><br>
3791                                    Since there are multiple small, active and successful nonprofits working
3792                                    locally, greater reach and power can occur when these nonprofits come together
3793                                    to provide combined and complementary services. Finally, a number of survivors
3794                                    and families become advocates for policies and procedures that unify communities
3795                                    and organizations and promote systemic response to SCA.

4002                                    Effective training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is vital for improving
4003                                    survival rates in cardiac emergencies. Traditional instructor-led training
4004                                    methods, while valuable, often involve subjective assessments and may not
4005                                    consistently ensure skill proficiency. The integration of self-directed feedback
4006                                    manikins offers a promising alternative, providing objective, real-time feedback
4007                                    to trainees and enhancing the precision and accuracy of lifesaving skills.
4008                                    <br><br>
4009                                    Self-directed feedback manikins are advanced training tools equipped with
4010                                    sensors and technology that deliver immediate performance feedback on critical
4011                                    CPR parameters, such as compression depth, rate, hand positioning, and
4012                                    ventilation volume. This real-time feedback enables trainees to self-correct and
4013                                    refine their techniques during practice sessions, potentially reducing the need
4014                                    for constant instructor supervision. For example, studies have demonstrated that
4015                                    detailed feedback provided via training manikins increases participants'
4016                                    motivation to learn and improves CPR proficiency.
4017                                    <br><br>
4018                                    The objective nature of these manikins addresses the variability inherent in
4019                                    human assessments. By standardizing performance evaluations, self-directed
4020                                    feedback manikins ensure consistent training quality and help maintain adherence
4021                                    to established guidelines. Research comparing self-instruction with manikin
4022                                    feedback to instructor-led methods found that self-directed training with
4023                                    feedback manikins was non-inferior, suggesting that these tools can effectively
4024                                    supplement or replace traditional training approaches.
4025                                    <br><br>
4026                                    Moreover, the use of self-directed feedback manikins can optimize training
4027                                    resources by allowing trainees to practice independently. This autonomy enables
4028                                    more flexible scheduling and potentially reduces the demand for instructors,
4029                                    decreasing barriers to training. The incorporation of objective feedback in
4030                                    manikins has been a significant advancement, as it helps learners develop
4031                                    high-quality CPR skills through real-time feedback, allowing self-correction and
4032                                    skill reinforcement.
4033                                    <br><br>
4034                                    The effectiveness of self-directed feedback manikins is further supported by
4035                                    studies demonstrating their role in improving CPR training outcomes. For
4036                                    instance, research has shown that visual feedback incorporated into CPR manikins
4037                                    provides direct, objective insights into the effectiveness of chest
4038                                    compressions, enabling trainees to correct their techniques in real time. This
4039                                    approach bridges the gap between theory and practice, ensuring trainees are
4040                                    well-equipped to perform effective CPR during emergencies.
4041                                    <br><br>
4042                                    Incorporating self-directed feedback manikins into lifesaving training programs
4043                                    offers significant benefits in enhancing precision, accuracy, and objectivity.
4044                                    By providing real-time, objective feedback, these devices facilitate effective
4045                                    skill acquisition and retention, leading to better preparedness in emergency
4046                                    situations. As technology continues to evolve, integrating such innovative tools
4047                                    into training programs will be crucial for advancing the effectiveness of
4048                                    lifesaving education.

4135                                    Surviving cardiac arrest in the hospital with a great outcome is possible and is a
4136                                    great gift for the survivor and their family! The Resuscitation Academy developed
4137                                    the Ten Steps for Prehospital Cardiac Arrest Care which are used widely in the US
4138                                    and several European and Asian countries. As a result, cardiac arrest survival rates
4139                                    have improved. However, the care in the hospital needs to be excellent as well. 
4140                                    <br><br>ILCOR and the American Heart  Association developed the Ten Steps Toward

4204                                    recent research work that demonstrates the benefit of ventilations in children.
4205                                    Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of why high-quality ventilations are
4206                                    often more important in children than in adults during resuscitation and are a
4207                                    critical component of improving outcomes. Next, the importance of bystander CPR
4208                                    and strategies to increase community engagement and training will be reviewed.
4209                                    Emphasis will be placed on overcoming barriers to action and ensuring that
4210                                    laypersons feel empowered to respond in emergencies involving children, and the

4226                                    Early initiation of bystander CPR improves survival and willingness to provide
4227                                    these lifesaving interventions is directly tied to comfort with those skills.
4228                                    Presenting these skills at an early age and continuously reinforcing them
4229                                    normalizes these helping behaviors and may improve response times to initiation
4230                                    of CPR. In this presentation, we will review the data about teaching first aid
4231                                    and CPR to children, including the success of these studies and the impact on
4232                                    children’s mental health.

4234                                    The data shows that children as young as pre-school age do incredibly well when
4235                                    learning first aid and CPR. It not only teaches helping behaviors at an early
4236                                    age but also normalizes this behavior, thereby improving willingness to respond
4237                                    in a true emergency. Teaching first aid and CPR skills in the school setting
4238                                    provides equal education across different c
4238ommunities, making them available to

4301                                    Nearly 17,000 people who die in vehicle crashes each year were alive when first
4302                                    responders arrived on scene. The US Department of Transportation’s Vision Zero
4303                                    campaign makes a huge push to fix this problem by highlighting and optimizing
4304                                    post-crash care. In a first-of-its-kind effort, a team at Harbor-UCLA Medical
4305                                    Center assembled a group of leading subject matter experts in Los Angeles in
4306                                    2024 to create the nation’s Post-Crash Care Research Agenda. Experts represented
4307                                    a wide breadth of expertise from vehicle engineering to prehospital care to
4308                                    education. This agenda provides a detailed roadmap for scientists, clinicians,
4309                                    funders, first responders and everyone involved in post-crash care to know the
4310                                    key questions that must be answered to boost survival from crashes. This session
4311                                    explains the scope of the problem of crashes, including those affecting
4312                                    pedestrians and cyclists, and describes the process and outcomes of building the
4313                                    nation’s post-crash care research agenda. Anyone interested in enhancing
4314                                    survival from injury will be interested to learn about the study, its findings,
4315                                    and implications for next steps for trauma care.

4353                                    tough but are easy to use. In 2025, we rehashed an AED Hunt social media

4461                                    The Military Cardiac Arrest Program (MiCAP) addresses sudden cardiac arrest
4462                                    (SCA) in tactical athletes (TAs) through a comprehensive, multi-center strategy.
4463                                    Key initiatives include: 1) Prevention: The ERASE project re-evaluates ECG
4464                                    screening with rapid reflex echocardiography, identifying 44 SCA-associated
4465                                    conditions in over 12,000 TAs including arrhythmias, cardiomyopathie
4465s and
4466                                    myocarditis. 2) Intervention: Advocating for expanded AED availability and first
4467                                    responder training, MiCAP published data showing higher SCA rates among military
4468                                    but also higher survival, corroborated by CARES showing higher intervention
4469                                    rates on military bases. 3) Surveillance: Development of an Exertional Illness
4470                                    Registry (EIR) to track SCA, heat injury and rhabdomyolysis. 4) Guidance:
4471                                    Leading the ACC/AHA "Cardiovascular Care of the Tactical Athlete" scientific
4472                                    statement, providing expert recommendations for high-stress tactical
4473                                    occupations. 5) Post-SCA Risk Assessment: Genetic testing and expert
4474                                    consultation for survivors and families, demonstrated by a US Naval Academy
4475                                    Midshipman's successful return to duty following SCA. MiCAP's programs, from
4476                                    screening to post-event care, aim to reduce SCA risk and optimize outcomes for
4477                                    TAs.

4518                                    Out-of-operating-room airway management (OOORAM) is a high-stakes, low-frequency
4519                                    event that requires immediate, precise and coordinated action by healthcare
4520                                    providers. These events often occur at unpredictable times and in diverse
4521                                    locations, involving teams of individuals who may not routinely work together.
4522                                    The consequences of suboptimal airway management, particularly a delay in care
4523                                    or insufficient oxygenation, can be catastrophic and result in severe patient
4524                                    harm, including brain injury or death.
4525                                    <br><br>
4526                                    EAS is an Emergency Airway Service or a Multidisciplinary Airway Response Team.
4527                                    EAS airway managers face different challenges than inpatient clinical services
4528                                    providing emergency airway management care. The paramedic and EMT team are
4529                                    frequently isolated and lack the supporting systems found in the hospital
4530                                    setting. Therefore, the protocols and procedures for EAS Airway management must
4531                                    be robust to overcome all possible contingencies and clinical challenges.
4532                                    <br><br>
4533                                    The SimLEARN OOORAM program directly addresses these challenges through a
4534                                    blended learning approach that combines eLearning modules, hands-on task
4535                                    trainers and simulation-based activities. Simulation-based education, now a
4536                                    cornerstone of healthcare training, has been shown to improve clinician
4537                                    confidence and skill proficiency. By immersing participants in realistic
4538                                    scenarios, the OOORAM course fosters a culture of safety, enhances
4539                                    interprofessional teamwork and prepares providers for the complexities of airway
4540                                    management.
4541                                    <br><br>
4542                                    Through the standardized OOORAM course, the VHA staff develops and demonstrates
4543                                    competencies specific to their roles on the airway management team, enabling
4544                                    them to provide optimized clinical care during emergent airway events. The
4545                                    program is designed to close critical knowledge and skill gaps for providers
4546                                    performing urgent and emergent airway management outside the operating room and
4547                                    enhance their ability to recognize and respond to potential failures.

4573                                    In the spring of 2023, Joe Ellis, a high school PE teacher, coach, father and
4574                                    experienced whitewater rafting guide, experienced a life-threatening cardiac
4575                                    event while on a river trip. Despite being in top physical condition, Joe
4576                                    suddenly went into cardiac arrest—a terrifying moment that could have easily
4577                                    claimed his life. Fortunately, he was saved by immediate access to an Automated
4578                                    External Defibrillator (AED) and the quick actions of bystanders.
4579                                    <br><br>
4580                                    The presence of an AED at the site, combined with the willingness of those
4581                                    around him to act, was crucial to his survival. The AED was on hand, but it was
4582                                    locked in a building. Fortunately, Joe had an AED in his raft and was able to
4583                                    receive a shock in time, giving him the best chance for survival. Without these
4584                                    life-saving tools and responders, the outcome would have been very different.
4585                                    Joe’s experience inspired him to become a strong advocate for better public
4586                                    access to AEDs. As a high school PE teacher, coach and father, as well as
4587                                    someone who has guided whitewater rafting trips across three continents for
4588                                    nearly three decades, Joe understands the importance of preparedness in outdoor
4589                                    settings. He is now dedicated to ensuring more public spaces — such as gyms,
4590                                    stadiums, parks, campgrounds and wildlife areas — are equipped with AEDs. These
4591                                    high-traffic areas where emergencies can happen at any time, are crucial places
4592                                    where lives can be saved.

4600                                    what we can do about it. Is there a "sweet spot" for AED locations that can lead
4601                                    to increased survival rates? Should cardiac arrest locations from the past drive

4633                                    We all know that layperson response (prior to EMS arrival) is essential in
4634                                    improving outcomes from life-threatening emergencies such as cardiac arrest,
4635                                    trauma and overdose. However, we have struggled to implement citizen response
4636                                    networks at a regional level. One reason why is the lack of adaptability and
4637                                    sustainability of local layperson training programs. Specifically, in
4638                                    communities with poorer health care outcomes, there are many structural barriers
4639                                    to citizen networks including lack of training, safety and distrust of first
4640                                    responders, all of which lead to failures in layperson response.

4647                                    Layperson CPR (lCPR) is one of the most impactful interventions to improve
4648                                    survival after cardiac arrest. Yet, in the US, the minority of cardiac arrest
4649                                    victims receive lCPR and the rate of receiving this intervention varies based on
4650                                    community and demographic. One barrier is the ‘one size fits all’ model of CPR
4651                                    trainings, which does not take into account local or community context.

4653                                    Since 2023, CCAS has provided free, non-certification CPR trainings for
4654                                    communities in our region (Southwestern PA). In order to ensure the highest
4655                                    participation and uptake of knowledge, we have focused on performing trainings
4656                                    that are adapted with each serviced community in mind. In particular, our staff
4657                                    collects data regarding the participants’ age range, gender, religious beliefs,
4658                                    background and life experiences, language preferences and music choice as we
4659                                    schedule an event. We discuss with the event organizers their goals and needs.
4660                                    We then tailor the training to the participants’ preferences. At times, our
4661                                    trainings add skills not usually taught in traditional courses or even remove
4662                                    skills from the ‘standard’ training. Additionally, we attempt to bring a diverse

4731                                    Medical extended reality (MXR) is an umbrella technology which includes many applications in healthcare. It provides faster, safer, and smarter medical interventions. The technology we are presenting is a blend of artificial intelligence, physical and virtual environments with haptic signals allowing public and professional responders to interact with cardiac arrest patients. Patients receive precision in hands-only CPR, defibrillation, and other interventions to improve return to spontaneous circulation and survival rates. First immediate interventions which have a significant impact on survival and outcomes predictions are enabled within 3-5 minutes.

4733                                    The overall innovation in this presentation is called Tele-Resuscitation. This creates cost-effective interactions between responders, caregivers, ambulances, hospitals and other medical environments involved in cardiac arrest chain of survival in out-of-hospital or in-hospital settings. This is the path to digitize acute interventional cardiac care. The unique connection between cardiac arrest and the presenter is genuine interest and authentic knowledge. Dr Assil is an internal medicine physician entrepreneur and scientist with 20 years of practice who has dedicated her career to researching and learning about the strengths and weaknesses in cardiac arrest care. The future is AI-powered MXR which is a cost-effective and data-driven solution to relevant clinical and systematic problems in emergency medical services, rural acute cardiac care, and invasive interventional resuscitation. All of those are contributing factors to cardiac arrest and its survival outcomes.

4742                                    disruptive-technology CPR platform that will reframe how the field should think
4743                                    about automated resuscitation in the era of precision medicine. Attendees will

4745                                    breakthrough innovations into a single device that can be rapidly deployed in
4746                                    emergency settings. This system dramatically improves blood flow and
4747                                    defibrillation—achieving effects previously seen only in laboratory
4748                                    research—while avoiding the serious injuries caused by existing mechanical CPR
4749                                    devices that have consistently failed to outperform manual compressions in

4752                                    We will highlight why prior device developers' focus on simplicity (KISS: Keep
4753                                    It Simple, Stupid) led to inadequate solutions that neither pump sufficient
4754                                    blood nor protect patients from harm. In contrast, CPR Therapeutics introduces a
4755                                    precision medicine approach to resuscitation, allowing providers to escalate
4756                                    interventions in a stepwise fashion: beginning with a thoracic module, adding an
4757                                    abdominal counter pulsation module when needed, and employing a sternal kick
4758                                    module for the most refractory cases. We will demonstrate how circumferential
4759                                    compression—rather than traditional pistons—can generate higher blood flow
4760                                    without causing skeletal injuries, representing a fundamental shift in
4761                                    resuscitation technology.

4763                                    Finally, we will discuss one of the most exciting aspects of the system:
4764                                    integrated and optimized defibrillation, where the device itself applies active
4765                                    pressure on defibrillation pads precisely during countershock to maximize
4766                                    electrical success. For patients who do not achieve return of circulation in the
4767                                    field, we will explain how the system is designed to deliver them to E-CPR
4768                                    centers in a vastly more salvageable condition, with over 90% fewer rib

4800                                    Delivering bad news – a task that many dread. Common thoughts include: I don’t
4801                                    want to cause more harm? I’m not prepared to do this? Am I the right person to
4802                                    be doing this? What will be the response by the recipient? I know that this is
4803                                    going to impact me.
4804
4805                                    <br><BR>We’ve all been the recipient of bad news in our lives. Personal or
4806                                    professional, getting bad news is a part of life. Whether a minor inconvenience
4807                                    or a life-altering event, how the person that delivered the message has the
4808                                    potential to stay with us and further cast a negative impact beyond the original
4809                                    event.
4810                                    <br><br>
4811                                    Having a life-long career in public safety, the presenter has had to take on the
4812                                    role of being the person giving such news many times. Each event and setting is
4813                                    unique and requires a solid assessment of the situation and people involved.
4814                                    Education on this topic has been historically minimal despite it being
4815                                    commonplace in our worlds, especially in the resuscitation community. Bad news
4816                                    is unavoidable.
4817                                    <br><br>
4818                                    No one wants to be the receiver of bad news. Using case examples, this
4819                                    presentation will explore ways to minimize the negative impact of delivering the
4820                                    news poorly. We will also look at methods that make the delivery the best it can
4821                                    possibly be.
4822                                    <br><br>
4823                                    Delivering bad news is part of our lives – personally and professionally. We owe
4824                                    it to those receiving it to learn to do some in a kind, c
4824aring, and
4825                                    compassionate way. This presentation will begin that discussion and provide tips
4826                                    on how to do so effectively.

4901                                    Sudden cardiac arrest remains one of the most urgent, challenging and lethal
4902                                    emergencies—yet survival is possible when every second counts and coordinated
4903                                    action leads to rapid recognition and effective resuscitation.

4905                                    In this forward-looking session, Jake Sunshine, Thomas Rea, MD and Michael

4907                                    poised to transform resuscitation. From detecting cardiac arrest through
4908                                    wearable sensors to enhancing dispatcher accuracy and delivering real-time,
4909                                    physiology-guided care, AI can potentially strengthen every link in the Chain of

5038                                    the health of their population. Learn about how Canada has developed a national
5039                                    framework and action plan for cardiac arrest, including common lessons that
5040                                    could be applied in your region or country. Our approach brings together a
5041                                    variety of national partners from prevention through to rehabilitation and
5042                                    recovery, and people with lived experience of cardiac arrest. There is great
5043                                    work already happening in Canada: CPR/AED training, AED placement, paramedic
5044                                    response, and innovative approaches to rural, remote, and Indigenous response to
5045                                    cardiac arrest. We will build on those strengths, reduce inequities in access

5328                                    Opioid overdose is a leading cause of accidental death in the US, claiming
5329                                    ~80,000 lives in 2023, but swift action can turn the tide. Since an estimated
5330                                    44% of opioid overdose deaths have a bystander present, this presentation will
5331                                    describe how the VHA is empowering individuals, caregivers, staff and veterans
5332                                    with practical skills and training on how to respond decisively to save lives.
5333                                    Attendees will learn about an innovative suite of educational tools designed to
5334                                    teach use of naloxone, a safe and effective life-saving opioid antidote,
5335                                    exploring the impetus behind these tools, their grounded development based upon
5336                                    real-world needs, implementation across diverse VHA settings and measurable
5337                                    impact in saving lives.  Since March of 2024, over 1,500 internally manufactured
5338                                    naloxone trainers have been sent out to more than 83 VA Medical Centers and
5339                                    Community Based Outpatient Clinics for provider, caregiver and veteran
5340                                    education.  The 3D printed naloxone trainers have been great outreach tools
5341                                    during national Harm Reduction Day events.

5343                                    The VHA’s approach goes beyond training, it’s a blueprint for transformation.
5344                                    We’ll unpack the nuts and bolts with educational toolkits and hands-on
5345                                    simulations that demystify naloxone administration. These tools inspire action,
5346                                    equipping people to recognize overdose signs, administer naloxone effectively,
5347                                    and navigate post-overdose care with clarity and confidence. VHA will describe

5424                                    In 2022, Garcia et al (NEJM) discovered that African American and Hispanic
5425                                    victims of cardiac arrest are less likely to receive CPR in public and in their
5426                                    own home. The authors hypothesized that numerous barriers exist that prevent
5427                                    individuals in those communities from learning CPR, becoming a lay rescuer, or
5428                                    using an automated external defibrillator (AED). However, very little research
5429                                    has been done to explore these barriers in communities of color or non-English
5430                                    language communities. Our research explores social determinants of health such
5431                                    as language, literacy, cost of training, and fear of calling 911 that may
5432                                    represent barriers to CPR/AED education, becoming a lay rescuer and using an AED
5433                                    in Spanish-speaking communities. Important findings from our research show that
5434                                    only 16% of Spanish speakers surveyed felt comfortable calling 911, compared to
5435                                    71% of English speakers. Additionally fear of doing something wrong, concerns
5436                                    over immigration status, and language barr
5436iers were repeatedly cited, not only
5437                                    as reasons they would not provide CPR but also reasons to avoid engaging 911

5459                                    Through Compress and Shock Foundation’s multi-site training last year with
5460                                    predominantly Muslim populations, our educational modifications have included:
5461                                    partnering and organizing classes at mosques and Muslim community centers,
5462                                    onsite-translation of the CPR and AED lectures and hands-on training,
5463                                    incentives, and pre-and post-class feedback from teaching instructors from these

5465                                    and language barriers that are specific to the Muslim learner population. Muslim
5466                                    learner communities specifically need culturally sensitive female instructors to
5467                                    teach separate women-only classes and to demonstrate the value of modest
5468                                    clothing, especially in classes hosted by local mosques. Directly addressing the
5469                                    language barriers and specific cultural needs can be effective in increasing

5478                                    Although interest in learning CPR is high among Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) adults, accessibility continues to be a limiting factor. A national survey of CPR instructors found that over 80% of CPR programs did not offer courses to DHH students, most commonly due to the lack of interpreters or accessible instructional materials. While some national organizations provide modified training options, these are generally fee-based, limited in availability, difficult to enroll in, or contingent on a minimum group size. In many cases, American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation is simply added to a standard CPR course without substantive modification of the curriculum to meet the learning needs of DHH participants. Notably, health literacy presents an additional barrier. Deaf adults experience health literacy barriers at rates of up to seven times higher than their hearing peers, making it more difficult to understand emergency protocols and navigate public health information. This can ultimately contribute to delays in life-threatening situations.  
5479 <br><br>
5480Despite these challenges, multiple studies have shown that when CPR education content is modified to include elements like ASL, visual feedback, tactile 
5480CPR mannequins, and education on text-to-911 features, DHH learners were able to perform at the level of their hearing peers in both skill acquisition and retention. Additionally, domestic and international pilot CPR training programs have demonstrated that culturally and linguistically tailored training not only improves skills, but confidence and willingness to act in an event of a cardiac emergency. These results suggest that a collaboratively developed, accessible CPR curriculum for the DHH community presents a viable strategy to close current knowledge gaps and improve participation in bystander CPR.

5647                                    Perry County is a rural, underserved region in Ohio with a large portion of the
5648                                    area situated in the foothills of Appalachia. One of the poorest counties in the
5649                                    state, it has a small and declining population of 35,500. The county is served
5650                                    by 11 EMS/Fire Departments with seven of these being volunteer departments. EMS
5651                                    response times often exceed 20 minutes due to large geographic service areas;
5652                                    additional time needed for volunteers to mobilize and frequent weather-related
5653                                    delays.

5655                                    A cardiac arrest in Perry County is almost always a death sentence. In fact,
5656                                    some townships have not had a cardiac arrest survivor in over a decade. In
5657                                    addition to lengthy EMS response times, factors contributing to the low survival
5658                                    rate is a lack of “rescuer mindset” due to scant CPR training resources,
5659                                    long-held beliefs that it is better to wait for medical professionals to arrive,
5660                                    fear of hurting someone, lack of awareness of Good Samaritan laws and a sparse
5661                                    population with less people available to respond. In addition, there are very
5662                                    few AEDs due to cost and limited places to house AEDs. Come and hear the details

5678                                    Obstetric Life Support (OBLS) is a validated training program designed to
5679                                    improve prevention, recognition and treatment of most maternal medical
5680                                    emergencies that lead to cardiac arrest and death. The curriculum employs

5689                                    OBLS training has thus far been predominantly limited to high-resource settings
5690                                    with access to optimal resuscitation resources. Rural and underserved
5691                                    communities often face constraints (e.g., financial, workforce shortages,
5692                                    underdeveloped infrastructure) that have implications for evidence-based health
5693                                    practice translation. To address this, we conducted a nationwide survey (n=122)
5694                                    of healthcare administrators and HCWs in rural and other low-resource settings

5696                                    Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR). This session will
5697                                    describe the evidence base for OBLS, highlight its distinctions from other
5698                                    obstetric emergency trainings and share findings on implementation challenges
5699                                    and solutions. A panel discussion with OBLS developers and trainers will follow

The program emerged in response to growing recognition among healthcare professionals of the critical need for recovery-focused resources for both patients and families.
5767 <br><br>
5768Led by a multidisciplinary team of physicians, psychologists, researchers, advocates, and individuals who have been directly impacted by cardiac arrest, CASA provides a free online community designed to help or survivors, co-survivors, lay rescuers, and advocates. Members gain access to resources, peer support, educational webinars, and virtual meetups to help them recover, reconnect, and thrive.

5824This presentation will share details of comprehensive treatment guidelines for managing hyperthermic heat stroke patients, including the implementation of ice water immersion therapy, to mitigate heat-related deaths in the City of Phoenix. A collaboration between the Phoenix Fire Department, Banner University Medical Center Phoenix, St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center, and Valleywise Health—three major trauma centers—was formed following the summer of 2023, when the Arizona Department of Health documented over 600 heat-related fatalities.
5825<br><br>The presentation will review the development and implementation of ice water immersion protocols and treatment guidelines, the design of specialized equipment, training standards, and operational challenges encountered. It will also present 2024 hospital data, patient outcomes, and lessons learned from the hospital collaborative group.
5826<br><br>Results demonstrate that the coordinated ice water immersion protocol significantly improved survival and recovery rates for heat stroke patients.

6895									<p>We have had some wholesalers ‘phishing’ with some exhibitors and sponsors, offering to make reservations on your behalf &#8212; or even to rebook existing reservations at a promised ‘discount’ rate. In fact, falling for these promises means you you may find yourself with a smaller room, paying for a resort fee, incurring added charges, 100% prepayment requirements, the inability to cancel without hefty penalties, or no actual reservation at all!</p>
6896<p>We’ve negotiated a great rate at the Town and Country Resort for attendees of the 2023 Summit of only $199 plus tax (that’s a 0% increase over 2021 rates!). We’ve also negotiated with the hotel to waive the daily resort fee and offer a fair cancellation policy if your plans should change. When you book within the room block, it both protects CCPRF from potential losses on room commitments and affords you the assurance of the best rates and rooms available.</p>
6897<p><em>Please let us know if you are contacted by a 3rd party – or anyone suggesting they are part of the ‘conference organizers.’ Please feel free to contact us with any questions prior to making a change to your reservation(s).</em></p>								</div>
