CPR Kickstarter Course

Overview: High-quality CPR is the single most important intervention during cardiac arrest. Yet this life-saving skill is often performed sub-optimally—and is rarely measured. This one-day CPR Kickstarter course will cultivate and enhance a culture of high-quality CPR within hospitals currently using ZOLL R Series® defibrillators with CPR feedback. The course is being held in conjunction with Zoll and Intensive Care Nepean.
