Care after ROSC - Think TABLE Acronym |
I tend to remember information better through the use of acronyms, so I created the acronym TABLE to help me to remember how to care for someone who has regained spontaneous circulation after emergency care. This is not a step-by-step linear guide. In reality, many of these actions are performed simultaneously by various members of the team.

I have had the great privilege of knowing several people who had CPR performed on them who survived and enjoyed several healthy years after the incident. These are the exception rather than the rule. If you happen to be assisting with resuscitation efforts, I hope you have the opportunity to play a role in helping someone to have that second chance!
