REVIVE Morning Sessions

Better than a triple shot of espresso—our morning sessions launch your day with rapid-fire, high-impact lectures from the top names in resuscitation. In under 18 minutes, each expert will deliver the essentials of care and real-world strategies for success in cardiac arrest and post-arrest care. Dynamic, moderated discussions follow, turning insights into interactive dialogue that will prime you for an afternoon of hands-on, transformative learning.

CARDIAC ARREST ESSENTIALS

When every second counts, a rock-solid foundation in cardiac arrest management is non-negotiable.
This high-yield, fast-paced session covers the core principles, critical decision-making strategies, and must-know techniques that define excellence in resuscitation. Whether you’re fine-tuning your approach or building from the ground up, this session ensures you’re ready to run the room—and save lives—with confidence.
Advances in Cardiac Arrest

Resuscitation science is evolving - don’t get left behind! This session will bring you up to the cutting edge.
From next-level defibrillation techniques and ultrasound-guided resuscitation to emerging pharmacologic advances and physiologically guided CPR, this session explores cutting-edge innovations that are transforming outcomes. Get up to speed on the latest breakthroughs that are rewriting the playbook.
Post-Cardiac Arrest Care

Achieving ROSC is just the beginning—the real challenge starts now.
This session focuses on post-arrest strategies that improve survival and neurological outcomes. From post-arrest teams and temperature management to hemodynamic stabilization and neuroprognostication, we’ll cover the interventions to give patients the best chance at recovery. Survival isn’t enough—we’re here to maximize life after arrest.
Advanced Resuscitation

For the most complex and high-risk cases, standard resuscitation isn’t enough—you need advanced strategies and precision-guided interventions.
This deep dive into resuscitation covers ECMO, managing refractory VT/VF, handling massive PE and right ventricular failure, and resuscitating in pregnancy. Led by frontline experts, this session equips you with the tools to master the toughest cases and push the limits of what’s possible.
