Lecture overview:

Do you ever feel like a code happens at the worst possible time? Do you ever feel like everyone is jumping in to start doing CPR and you are standing on the side-lines not sure how to help? Do you just completely forget what CPR stands for? Whatever the case may be, CPR can be stressful when we are not prepared. This lecture is designed to hopefully give you a refresher course on CPR.

2. Help to understand the drugs involved in CPR.
