1 scenario overview Summary of case This 45-year-old obese patient is positioned on the OR table for left inguinal hernia repair. New Anesthesia Provider comes to the ED to relieve the current Anesthesia Provider. The patient experiences cardiac arrest after intubation but before incision is made. End point is recovery from ventricular fibrillation after CPR, defibrillation and epinephrine. Progressive Complexity Difficult airway Patient develops a blocked rhythm requiring pacing Potential Systems Explored Response time of emergency team Quality of CPR Accessibility and use of defibrillator Crisis resource management skills Use of defibrillator Length minutes Target group Multidisciplinary OR team Anesthesia Provider (MD and/or CRNA) Surgeon Surgical Assistant Circulating nurse Scrub Tech Additional team members: Anesthesia Tech, Charge Nurse, PACU RN, RT perioperative scenario 2 page 1
