Heart Education Awareness Resource and Training through eLearning (HEARTe)


Introduction to case studies

In the following sections of the module, you will find three different case studies, each presenting different issues that might arise as the result of an OHCA. The content of the case studies will build on the various topics included in the introduction. Although each case is designed to stand-alone, it is suggested that you work through them sequentially.

OHCA case studies: Edward, Sean and Rose

Edward Sean Rose
Edward is a 60 year old man who has an OHCA while out shopping with this wife. Sean is an 18 year old teenager who has an OHCA while playing shinty in his local village. Rose is an 82 year old lady who collapses at home with an OHCA.

Well done, you have reached the end of this section.
