Explaining CPR in Spanish

Learn to discuss CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) in Spanish with the family of a patient with advanced dementia.Next week, we will begin a series of lessons based on 4 scenarios where a patient suffers an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. In this series, we will learn how to explain the results of CPR, the condition of the patient, and the next steps in their care in Spanish. To introduce this series, we are revisiting a dialogue from our Palliative Care series, in which a doctor explains CPR while discussing code status with the daughter of a patient admitted to the hospital with pneumonia. LEVEL - ADVANCEDAccess full show notes, the Quizlet set and the PDF for this lesson within our Spanish for Emergencies course! ONE-QUESTION SURVEY: Do you want us to do the podcast totally in Spanish?TimeStampsDialogue 3:05Key Medical vocabulary We will admit him to the hospital 5:03His health has deteriorated.  6:11Would he like to receive CPR? 8:09Explanation of CPR 11:35We return to the dialogue 16:10¡Aprende más!This lesson is part of our Palliative Care series.
