Representatives of TNMU as Part of the Winning Team in the International RESUS24 Resuscitation Championship

From October 31 to November 2, 2024, the European Resuscitation Council Congress took place in Athens, where teams from various countries participated in the International Resuscitation Championship, #RESUS24.

The Ukrainian team included Associate Professor of Emergency and Simulation Medicine Department at TNMU, Halyna Tsymbaliuk (team leader); assistants from the Department of Emergency and Simulation Medicine, Narhiz Dzhavadova and Roman Huk; Larysa Chubenko (Ukrainian Scientific and Practical Center of Emergency and Disaster Medicine, Ministry of Health of Ukraine); and Iryna Denysiuk (paramedic at the Rivne Emergency Medical Care and Disaster Medicine Center).

The main tasks in the competition involved assisting critical patients experiencing sudden cardiac arrest in the pre-hospital phase, including post-resuscitation support. The championship was part of a scientific study examining the impact of non-technical skills and team interaction on the effectiveness of resuscitation efforts and critical patient management.

The top three teams, representing the countries with the best results, advanced to the finals: the Czech Republic, Sri Lanka, and Ukraine.

In the final round, the task was to assist a one-year-old child in a critical condition who subsequently experienced sudden cardiac arrest.

Ukraine’s victory was announced during the closing ceremony of the European Resuscitation Council Congress.
