When you believe the patient is stabilized enough for ICU admission, click the "Admit" button. The patient's private physician will drop by to tell you about the final outcome. You're expected to stabilize shock and treat major electrolyte or fluid deficits before the ICU admission.

Each case will have specific teaching content. You can read the material that will be covered in the post-case quiz before you start the case, or after completion of the case. Once you've completed the case and read the teaching material, you're ready for the post-case quiz.

You're expected to read about the patient's problems while the case is underway. The quiz makes sure you understand the basic points of the resuscitation case.

For CME credit, you must complete the case with a good outcome, manage the case fluidly and with little help from the "Mad Scientist" so that you earn at least 50 resuscitation points, and earn 80% or higher on the quiz.

CME credit is awarded as 1/2 hour per completed case. There are 15 easier patients, 15 complex patients, and 15 paediatric patients, for a total of up to 22.5 hours of ACEP Category I credit. Completed cases are stored in your personal student file.

When you're ready, you can complete the CME application form and send it to the Utah ACEP Chapter for processing (the address is supplied in the software). Because Cardiac Arrest! is used by many non-physicians who face the recurring horror of ACLS Certification, we've separated the CME cost from the software cost.
