In this module, we practice talking about cardiopulmonary resuscitation. In the first lesson we practice explaining CPR in the context of discussing code status. Then we will go through a series of 4 different scenarios where a patient is treated by Emergency Medical Services following a cardiac arrest. We will learn to discuss the patient's condition after CPR and transport to the hospital, how to explain when CPR is not recommended and when it CPR is stopped because further attempts at resuscitation are futile.
