This study used the Mega Code and American Heart Association (AHA) standards to evaluate 32 medical residents (MDs) and nine critical care nurses (RNs) in the role of ACLS team leader. The Mega Code is a simulated cardiac arrest during which students practice as members of a team and learn to integrate the knowledge and skills of advanced cardiac life support (ACLS).
