Webinar:
RESSONA: A Brazil-Initiated Ultrasound Protocol for Intraoperative Cardiac Arrest
July 8, 2026 | 12pm ET
Join us for RESSONA – Resuscitation with Sonography in Anesthesia, a high-impact webinar designed to empower anesthesiologists and perioperative teams with critical ultrasound skills to manage cardiac arrest during anesthesia.
Although rare, cardiac arrest in the OR demands immediate recognition, accurate diagnosis, and targeted interventions. Traditional ACLS algorithms offer structure, but may fall short when etiology is unclear. That’s where Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) becomes a game changer. In this session, we will explore: the most common and reversible causes of cardiac arrest during anesthesia (the “8 Hs and 8 Ts”), how to use focused cardiac, pulmonary, and vascular ultrasound during resuscitation, the role of POCUS in differentiating pseudo-PEA, tamponade, pneumothorax, and massive PE, and case-based discussions with real-time decision-making strategies.
By integrating POCUS into the intraoperative crisis response, anesthesiologists can rapidly tailor their approach, improve outcomes, and lead more effectively during critical events. Whether you work in adult or pediatric anesthesia, this webinar offers practical, evidence-based insights and pearls you can apply immediately in the OR.
Learning objectives:
- Recognize the role of POCUS in identifying reversible causes of intraoperative cardiac arrest, including tension pneumothorax, cardiac tamponade, and massive pulmonary embolism.
- Demonstrate how anesthesiologists can effectively integrate POCUS into crisis management algorithms to improve real-time diagnosis, guide resuscitation efforts, and enhance perioperative patient safety.
