Past ECCU Conference Highlights
ECCU 2015
The Emergency Cardiovascular Care Update (ECCU) 2015 Conference was held at theManchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego December 8-11, 2015 with pre-conference workshops December 7th and 8th. ECCU 2015 happened just weeks after the release of the 2015 Resuscitation Guidelines. In depth explorations of the guideline updates and what it meant for all of the links in the chain of survival were presented. Key questions that were answered were:
- What will the science tell us about ways to improve survival?
- How will the new guidelines impact instruction and practice?
- What are the best practices in training and community programs?
For three decades, ECCU has been the one place where the wide spectrum of resuscitation professionals – instructors, practitioners and researchers – come together for learning, inspiration and networking. Join us for an incredible experience in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
In addition to all of the great learning, the Survivor March was a highlight of the 2015 conference:
