Mastering the Art and Science of Resuscitation

Cutting Edge Resuscitation for the Real World

Welcome to REVIVE, the ultimate resuscitation conference!

Designed to redefine how we treat cardiac arrest and shock, REVIVE is hosted by the Center for Resuscitation Science at Penn Medicine. This high-impact, hybrid event blends fast-paced, evidence-based talks with immersive, hands-on training led by world-renowned experts.

REVIVE 2026 brought together the best minds in resuscitation for a packed day of high-yield learning, hands-on training, and real-world clinical insight. The impact was immediate and the momentum is building. And this is only the beginning. REVIVE 2027 will go even bigger.

Join us and be part of the movement shaping the future of resuscitation.

  • "I really appreciated how you incorporated so much hands on education to complement the didactic portions.  And all the topics were so relevant to what we are seeing in practice and in the current literature and guidelines coming out.  I loved how each of the faculty gave recognition to the AHA but also challenged us to think beyond the guidelines.  The whole thing was stellar!"

    —Sarah Lorenzini
    The Rapid Response RN Podcast

  • I'll be honest this conference was the best one I ever attended in my 20 years of nursing! Everything about this day was exhilarating to me and I learned so much from every speaker and will copy all the slides and share with my peers (who couldn't make it) to my unit. Outstanding Job to everyone!

  • "First time for me in years that I was so engaged and learning at a meeting""

    J.H.—ICU Director

  • I am a Rapid Response/Code RN; there are no conferences for this NICHE area of practice for us to strengthen, learn and grow in. This conference was excellent in representing all the ways in-patient arrests are approached. Not everything is within my "scope", however, it helped me to be ready to support my providers in these events more fully, along with the supporting staff and patient.

  • " it was INCREDIBLE! I truly enjoyed every lecture and was able to stay engaged the entire time."

    V.P. —Resident

  • This format and the content covered were excellent- I plan to make this an annual part of my personal education.

  • Presenters were amazing and I think the balance between short lectures followed by Q&A podcast style worked amazingly because I could see how the presenters interpreted the guidelines and applied them, most importantly the reasoning behind those decisions.

  • This was a highly engaging educational activity. The content was relevant to clinical practice. The combination of didactic learning and case-based discussion enhanced my understanding and will translate directly to improved performance during real clinical emergencies

  • Absolutely nothing [to improve]. I'm wondering how the conference will be even better than this year's. I really loved this activity, and it met all of my educational needs.

Afternoon Hands-On Sessions

  • Medical ultrasound machine with display showing a sonogram image.

    Resuscitative ultrasound

    Leverage ultrasound imaging to gain a window into the hemodynamics of the crashing patient. Learn how to use a rapid POCUS assessment to quickly clinch essential diagnoses from expert ultrasound instructors and live models.

  • Medical team in hospital emergency department, focused on resuscitation leader in foreground.

    Owning the Airway in Cardiac Arrest

    Use the full repertoire of airway devices and adjuncts to take full control of the resuscitative airway. From LMAs, endotracheal tubes, fiberoptic intubation, to mastery of the humble bag-valve mask, this will take your skills to the next level.

  • Illustration of a defibrillator on a medical cart in a hospital room, with cables and storage boxes.

    Refractory tachyarrhthmias

    Beyond your standard defibrillations - learners will manage cases of refractory tachyarrhythmias, leaving with skills beyond standard ACLS. Master advanced defibrillation techniques and debrief the team after ROSC.

  • A hospital room with a patient lying in bed connected to medical equipment. Several healthcare professionals in scrubs are attending to the patient. Monitors and IV stands are visible. The room is brightly lit, with a large screen displaying "Post-Arrest Care."

    Post-Cardiac Arrest Care

    Review recent data and controversies in post-arrest care. Spend time with the experts discussing the state-of-the-art in TTM, post-arrest PCI, hemodynamic targets, and best practices in neuroprognostication.

  • Illustration of a medical professional performing CPR on a patient in a hospital setting.

    Personalized Resuscitation

    Use both invasive and non-invasive hemodynamics to guide volume administration, CPR quality, and vasopressor/inotrope titration. Get hands on with the newest devices and comfortable with cutting-edge sonographic approaches.

  • Post-Event Debriefing

    Turn every code into the next team's edge. Master hot and cold debrief frameworks, protect psychological safety under pressure, and build the feedback loop that converts tough cases into measurable quality gains.
