    • 2015 Penn HART Course

    Do you manage patients who’ve had a cardiac arrest? Has the debate over 33 vs. 36 C made you uneasy?  Do you know what to monitor after you’ve reached your targeted temperature management (TTM) goal?  Are you still calling TTM, “therapeutic hypothermia”?

    Well come join us on October 29-30th at the Loews Hotel in Philadelphia, PA and find out why this is a “Can’t Miss” conference of 2015!
