The first five minutes of cardiac arrest is a crucial window that can make the difference between life and death. While most cardiac arrests occur outside of the hospital, patients do sometimes experience arrest while hospitalized. First Five Minutes is MarinHealth Medical Center's new program to ensure that all medical personnel can immediately respond to a cardiac arrest, no matter where in the hospital it occurs.In this podcast, you can learn more about Bridget Peterson, Clinical RN at MarinHealth Medical Center, who developed the program and is organizing cardiac resuscitation exercises in every department of the hospital.
