ACLS/Cardiac Arrest Team Training Video (wax1.mpg)
Channel: lhearnacls
Date: 13/10/2011

Simulated cardiac arrest illustrates challenges in management of serious medical crises.  Incorporated as aid to teaching crisis management techniques for medical students, residents, attending physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, paramedics and other health professionals.  Suggested strategy for use:  ask students to watch video, take notes as to what team did well and what required improvement.  Recommend dividing page for notes into 4 (well versus needs improvement, medical versus crisis management techniques).  At conclusion of video, ask students to comment on what went well, what needed improvement.  Designed to be used with videos "Wax2" and "Wax3" which are parallel clinical situations handled differently by the team.
NOTE:  This video was created using ACLS 2000 guidelines, medical practice will deviate from current ACLS guideilnes, this should be mentioned to students before or after watching video.  All participants were actors and their actions do not reflect their usual practice (they are really good health care providers in real life!!!!).
