Recent discussions at the conference highlighted the complexity of managing cardiac arrest beyond the established algorithms. A notable presentation by Professor Jasmits discussed the NAP7 report on perioperative cardiac arrest, revealing a significant gap in self-reported confidence between male and female practitioners, where men reported much higher confidence despite similar outcomes. This data underscores the necessity for attention to gender disparities in emergency medicine and highlights the importance of fostering diverse voices in medical presentations. Attendees were encouraged to challenge traditional views on prognostication, given evidence that recovery can occur even days post-cardiac arrest, changing the narrative around early intervention.
