MRI 115: Advanced Emergency Response for Imaging Professionals

This lecture and lab course provides specialized training on emergency response strategies for arrhythmias, cardiac arrest, and other critical cardiovascular events in the context of the MRI environment. The course focuses on advanced emergency techniques, including defibrillation, airway management, and the use of emergency medications, while addressing the unique challenges of MRI-specific constraints such as magnetic fields, equipment, and patient positioning. Students will participate in hands-on simulations to develop practical skills and confidence in managing emergencies within an imaging suite. Emphasis is placed on teamwork, communication, and leadership in high-stress scenarios.
