The most critical emergency situation seen in cardiac surgical units is the need for chest reopening. While senior nurses often manage cardiac arrest they currently are not trained to open chests, which can be a life-saving action if performed efficiently. This article evaluates a three-day cardiac surgery advanced life support course with protocols to manage critically ill cardiac surgical patients who suffer a cardiac arrest and who need their chest reopening.
心脏外科病房中最危急的紧急情况是需要重新打开胸腔。虽然资深护士经常处理心脏骤停情况，但他们目前并未接受过打开胸腔的培训，而如果操作得当，打开胸腔可能是挽救生命的举措。本文评估了一个为期三天的心脏外科高级生命支持课程，该课程配有相关规程，用于处理心脏骤停且需要重新打开胸腔的危重心脏外科患者。
