When a heart stops, there is no time to look things up.

Cardiac arrest gives you minutes, sometimes seconds, and the gap between knowing the algorithm and executing it under pressure is where patients live or die. Most BLS and ACLS materials teach you to pass a certification card. This textbook teaches you to actually run the code.

Foundations of Cardiac Resuscitation and Life Support is a complete, physician-and-clinician-built reference that takes you from the cellular electrophysiology of a failing heart through the full clinical reality of resuscitation: high-quality CPR mechanics, rhythm recognition, defibrillation and electrical therapy, airway and vascular access under pressure, resuscitation pharmacology, and the systematic management of cardiac arrest and peri-arrest states. It doesn't stop at ROSC. You'll work through hemodynamic monitoring, point-of-care ultrasound, post-cardiac arrest syndrome, targeted temperature management, and the team communication science that determines whether a code runs in chaos or in control.

Inside, you'll find:

  • The three-phase model of cardiac arrest and why timing dictates therapy
  • Full ACLS algorithm breakdowns, with the evidence and physiology behind each decision node
  • Dedicated chapters on reversible causes, in-hospital arrest, and special populations (pediatric, pregnant, elderly, toxicological, and environmental)
  • Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) and where it fits in modern practice
  • An evidence-based framework for prognostication, termination of resuscitation, and goals-of-care conversations
Whether you're a nursing or medical student building your foundation, an EMS or ED clinician sharpening real-code performance, or a critical care provider who wants the reasoning behind the algorithm, not just the steps, this is the reference that closes the gap between certification and competence.

Learn the science. Master the sequence. Be ready when it counts.
