| Registration |

If you have questions, please email Kristina Seier. |
Presented in partnership with the Iowa Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Iowa Academy of Family Physicians, and the Iowa School Nurse Organization.
Description
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) happens when a child or adult experiences a sudden collapse because of ventricular fibrillation, causing the heart to suddenly stop beating normally, and blood stops pumping through the body. Because blood isn’t reaching the lungs or brain, the person suddenly becomes unresponsive with no pulse and abnormal or no breathing. Learn how to get involved with Project ADAM Iowa Heartland to save lives and prevent SCA deaths.
Learning Objectives
- Discuss the magnitude and time-sensitive nature of Sudden Cardiac Arrest, including survival implications of early CPR and defibrillation.
- Describe the evidence supporting CPR-AED programs in schools, including improved survival when AEDs and trained responders are on-site.
- Identify the core components of a Heart Safe School and Cardiac Emergency Response Plan, and how Project ADAM supports implementation at the local level.
