At the end of this simulation learners will be able to: 1) Perform team-focused CPR using effective leadership and communication skills during prehospital resuscitation. 2) Employ high-quality CPR with an emphasis on compressions and early defibrillation. 3) Demonstrate appropriate airway management utilizing an oropharyngeal airway and bag-valve-mask, blind-insertion airway device, and/or endotracheal intubation during cardiac arrest. 4) Recognize and appropriately defibrillate pulseless ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation. 5) Formulate an appropriate differential diagnosis for pulseless electrical activity.
