Video at a Glance
- The goal of systems of care is to achieve a successful outcome.
- Hospitals utilize systems of care for IHCA (in-hospital cardiac arrest) and OHCA (out-of-hospital cardiac arrest).
- The use of pre-arrest emergency response systems leads to earlier recognition of pre-cardiac arrest conditions that can be treated before arrest occurs.
- Continuous quality improvement is one of the hallmarks of systems of care.
- Post-cardiac arrest syndrome must be treated in the post-cardiac arrest phase to increase the likelihood of survival and hospital discharge with good neurologic function.
